Overview

  • Mark Carney's Liberal Party is projected to win enough seats to form the next Canadian government, though it is unclear if they will achieve a majority or govern as a minority.
  • The election became a referendum on Canadian sovereignty, with Donald Trump's trade war and annexation threats galvanizing nationalist sentiment among voters.
  • The Liberals' victory marks a dramatic political comeback, overturning early polling deficits and securing a fourth consecutive term in power.
  • Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre conceded defeat, while NDP leader Jagmeet Singh announced his resignation as his party risks losing official status in Parliament.
  • The Bloc Québécois is poised to hold the balance of power, as preliminary results show the Liberals leading with at least 160 seats in the expanded 343-seat House of Commons.
