Manitoba electoral landscape shifts under new Prime Minister

New Prime Minister Mark Carney is expected to call a federal election soon, following a surge in Liberal Party popularity after Justin Trudeau's resignation. Polls show the Liberals are now close to the Conservatives, changing the electoral landscape in Manitoba. The NDP's support has declined significantly, creating opportunities for both the Liberals and Conservatives in key ridings. Notable contests include Elmwood-Transcona, where the NDP faces a strong challenge from the Conservatives, and Winnipeg South, where the incumbent Liberal MP has regained support. Some ridings, like Churchill-Keewatinook and Kildonan-St. Paul, are less likely to change hands due to historical voting patterns. Conservative candidates remain strong in many areas, while the NDP's previous strongholds are now at risk.
