Liberal Minority Government 2021 - ????

is it customary to hold a by election when 6 months later the PM is going to be contesting anyway? Seems like a waste of time to me
No clue. But by elections are still a thing that the PM can do.

Are ridings not entitled to representation? If someone were to step down would it be fine to leave that seat vacant for 6 months?

They are. Its not fine IMO nor is it fine for Senate seats to remain vacant but it is done all the time
 
My wager is on Fort Smith since the incumbent is leaving
Hm, I hadn’t looked before, but the NWT seat has gone Liberal for the last three elections. But it would be a gamble- local ties matter in the North. He was born there but hasn’t been living or involved there. Anyway, I’m sure Liberal strategists are working this one. I kinda figure they’ll pick a rock solid safe seat for him so he can focus on the national campaign.

Halifax is that safe LPC seat.
