5 outletsPrime Minister Mark Carney has set December 7, 2026 as voting day in six vacant House of Commons seats — three in Quebec, two in Ontario (Brantford–Brant South and Scarborough North) and one in Saskatchewan. are held when a seat falls vacant mid-parliament, here because the sitting MPs stepped down to return to previous jobs; the party that wins each seat fills that single riding's MP slot rather than changing who governs. The Quebec races include Laurier–Sainte-Marie and Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie, both traditionally strong for the Bloc Québécois and/or the NDP, which makes the batch a useful early read on the second Carney-era electoral map.
The core facts — six , three provinces, December 7 — are consistent across CBC, Global, the Globe and Mail and Elections Canada's own social post, and the underlying event is a formal writs-of-election announcement by the Prime Minister's Office, so the claim is about as firm as political news gets. One detail worth flagging: the province split and riding names line up across outlets, but the Saskatchewan riding is not named in most snippets, and at least one social-media post muddles the list (mentioning Terrebonne, a Quebec riding), so the exact sixth riding is best confirmed against Elections Canada's official list.
Genuinely new: the writs were called within the last day or so, with coverage dated November 1, 2026 and the vote set for December 7, 2026.
