Shouldn't Ottawa--Vanier be listed in alphabetical order among the five April 3, 2017 by-elections? (ie. between Markham--Thornhill and Saint-Laurent.) I think it's only first right now because it was the first one to be added to the page. Madg2011 ( talk) 22:02, 2 June 2017 (UTC)
Hungarian Phrasebook, Canadianpoliticalwatcher, and Jwkozak91 (and others), I'm curious as to your thoughts about resignation reasons in the Overview table. IMO Ambrose didn't resign "to join the Wilson Center as a visiting scholar," she simply resigned and, like most people who leave their jobs, got a new job. The same is true for Lebel.
If someone resigns to accept a diplomatic, governmental, or senatorial position, I think that's fair for inclusion as such positions would require them to not sit as an MP. If someone resigns to enter provincial or municipal politics, I'd include that as well for ease of encyclopedia navigation. But when someone resigns for other reasons, I think we should limit our desciption to simply "resigned." We shouldn't be guessing about their motivations. Madg2011 ( talk) 16:02, 7 July 2017 (UTC)
I don't know know about Lebel but Ambrose announced on May 16 that she'd be resigning and on the same day the Wilson Institute announced her appointment [1] so clearly the appointment has been worked out prior to her resignation announcement. I think she had said previously she wouldnt be running but I think it's reasonable to assume the timing of her departure was related to the appointment, otherwise she may have stayed on longer or even finished her term. Hungarian Phrasebook ( talk) 21:01, 7 July 2017 (UTC)
Sorry to get in on this so late, but the above are all good points. Personally, I think that it makes sense to include it as her announcement that she is joining the Wilson Center was made before she officially resigned her seat. I don't feel strongly either way and I think simply putting "Resigned" is still fine, or meeting down the middle and stating something along the lines of "Resigned to join the private sector."

I wanted to start a discussion about the new infobox. I worry that it may create NPOV problems from partisans on either side who are like "well, let's show that my party won these seats" or "lets show that cumulatively, my party won the popular vote". Then there is also the problem of which parties we include in the lead infobox. When the by-election is called in Outremont, then the NDP will be defending a seat for a by-election. Should they not be included until the writ is dropped?
I think my greatest "concern" (for lack of a better word, because I could care less about whether it stays or goes) with the infobox is that its inclusion does not fit the other articles about federal by-elections. By-elections in the 41st-37th parliaments do not have such an infobox, why does this one need it included?
Again, just trying to see where everyone else is at on this topic.
That being said, I love the inclusion of the map showing which ridings are holding by-elections. Very nice touch! Bkissin ( talk) 21:06, 27 April 2018 (UTC)

I suggest using the template:infobox legislative election (right). This infobox does not make it seem like it is one giant election, but rather an ongoing series of elections. It also fixes the partisan POV problem because it doesn't allow users to add up popular vote — while at the same time providing a quick and easy analysis of seat gains and losses in the various by-elections.
Once the Outremont by-election takes place, the NDP would be added as they would have a seat up-for-grabs.-- IDW5605 ( talk) 21:57, 4 May 2018 (UTC)
In the overview chart an IP keeps changing the date of the yet to be called Leeds-Grenville by-election from "writ must be dropped by October 30, 2018" to just "by October 30, 2018". This is incorrect since the by-election can actually be held up to a year after October 30th (although more likely 28 days). Can someone please stop the IP from doing this?

"under the Parliament of Canada Act the writ for a by-election has to be dropped no later than March 18, 2019"
but also "Due to amendments to the Canada Elections Act that took effect December 2018, a writ for a by-election cannot be dropped within nine months of the fixed date for the next general election. As a result, the cut-off date for the announcement of a by-election for the 42nd Parliament is January 20, 2019. Any vacancies that occur after that date, or any vacant seats that have not had an election writ dropped by that date, will not be filled until the next federal election scheduled for October 21, 2019."
So, is March 18 moot? Or is the seat grandfathered? -- Richardson mcphillips ( talk) 22:29, 8 January 2019 (UTC)
