My Current Prediction of the 4 Federal By-Elections being held on November 25th

I still believe that all the seats will be retained by the party that won it in the last election, though compared to the last prediction I made on October 25th, I now see Brandon Souris as much closer.  I have the Liberals doing significantly better in Provencher as well.

I am using what data I can get - past election results, past by-election turnouts, impact of candidates, riding level polls, current political scene, candidates, and local media.
