  "summary": "Canada's ruling Liberal party has won three special elections. The victories were in Chicoutimi-Le Fjord in Quebec, Beaches-East York in Toronto, and North Vancouver-Capilano in British Columbia, according to the Canadian Press.\n\nOne of the seats, Chicoutimi-Le Fjord, was taken from the Conservatives. According to the Associated Press, this result showed voters backing Prime Minister Mark Carney after his confrontation with US President Donald Trump.\n\nThe Liberal party's Shahnawaz Tanveer was elected as the MP for Beaches-East York, saying it was \"the honour of a lifetime to represent the only home I've ever known\". The other two Liberal victories were in seats previously held by the party, with Daniel Gobeil winning in Chicoutimi-Le Fjord and Braeden Caley winning in North Vancouver-Capilano, according to the Associated Press.",
