Prime Minister Mark Carney announced six federal by-elections in December for seats in Ontario, Quebec, and Saskatchewan. These elections happen because some MPs left their roles for jobs elsewhere, retirement, or to run in other elections. The news covers the announcement but doesn’t discuss how this might affect political power or parties. Readers should watch for updates on when the elections will happen and which candidates are running.

This explanation is simplified to help readers understand the story. It is not factual reporting and should be checked against the original source articles before being cited or shared.
