BREAKING

Mark Carney's Liberal Party is expected to win enough seats in the House of Commons to form a government, Canada's public broadcaster CBC News projects.

It is still too early to know whether they will win a majority of the 343 seats up for grabs, the CBC says.

Prime Minister Mark Carney’s Liberal Party has won Canada’s federal election. The victory Monday capped a dramatic turnaround for the Liberals fueled by U.S. President Donald Trump’s threats to Canada’s economy and sovereignty.

The country is also grappling with the aftermath of a fatal car ramming attack on Saturday in Vancouver. The tragedy prompted the suspension of campaigning for several hours. Police ruled out terrorism and said the suspect is a local man with a history of mental health issues.

Reporting from Liberal headquarters in Ottawa

People are smiling from ear to ear here at the Liberal Party headquarters as CBC projects a win for the party.
Supporters cheered even louder when the big screen projected that Mark Carney was leading in his Ottawa riding of Nepean.

For 20-year-old Luka Jovic, who works for the Liberals, this result was unthinkable just four months ago.
"Four months ago it wasn't cool to be a Liberal supporter," Jovic says. Now, the party can claim "the biggest come-back of political history in this country."

I asked him what changed. "Our leader," he says. "Mark Carney has done a fantastic job."
Jovic says that, to him, Carney is a leader who "embodies true Canadian spirit." He notes that the former central banker had a comfortable job in the private sector before plunging into politics.
"He didn't need to do this. But he stepped up at a time when Canada needed it, and that's important."

5. The Conservatives are weak.

They have a real problem with Eastern Cnanda. They really cannot get many seats there. They are are, essentially, an anglophone Party. Easteren Canada has most of the Francophones.
The Party has a problem overcoming that.
Their strength is Western Canada.
Their Leader is a cipher.

8. Poilievre tried to distance himself from Trump after that stupid Trump tweet this morning. Too late.

Canadians weren't buying it.

11. Might be way too late.

Appears Pierre Pollievre may have lost his own riding (constituency, district, seat)..….

10. Trump helped get the Liberal vote out!

Carney couldn't have asked for a better tweet out of the dumbshit to get the vote out for the Liberals. 🤣

12. Now looks like it'll be a minority government, but still a small possibility of a majority

https://newsinteractives.cbc.ca/elections/federal/2025/results/

That says the Liberals have won 153 seats already, and lead in another 15, which would be 4 short of the 172 needed for a majority. The NDP (won 5, leading in 2) would then be enough for a majority.

[SunSeeker]

14. Yes, looking like Liberals + NDP coalition.

The NDP really imploded, getting only about 7 seats. Either that or NDP voters went for Carney, much like how US social democrats vote for the Democratic Party candidates in the US, to assure conservatives don't win.
