London was one of the few cities in the country to see its office vacancy rate rise in the second quarter of this year, rising to a new all-time high. However, there is reason for optimism and that's because of some office to residential conversations that are happening in the city. 

A stunning byelection upset has seen the Conservatives win a Toronto riding that's been held by the Liberals for decades. What, if anything, does this mean for the future of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau?
