Calls for Gender Diversity Grow as All-Male Slate Dominates St. John's Byelection

Advocates are raising concerns about the lack of gender diversity in St. John's byelection, where all candidates are male for the second time in a row. This has sparked discussions about the need for more women and diverse voices in local politics. Meanwhile, in Toronto, Rachel Chernos Lin has won the Don Valley West byelection, marking a victory for female representation in the city council. The contrast between these two elections highlights ongoing challenges and progress in achieving gender balance in Canadian politics.
