CANADA
In regional elections to the Nova Scotia House of Assembly, the opposition centre-right Progressive Conservatives (PC) secured a shock win over the incumbent Liberals in the 17 August provincial election. Coming just over a month before the snap federal election taking place on 20 September, the result may cause some concern in the governing Liberal Party of Canada of PM Justin Trudeau.
- While a provincial vote is very different to a federal one, the Liberals had retained a sizeable (if narrowing) lead in opinion polls in the maritime province ahead of the election, only to see its position as the largest party wiped out by a PC surge not picked up upon by polling.
