Carney's Liberals Projected to Fall Short of Winning Majority: CBC
- Prime Minister Mark Carney's Liberal Party won a minority government in the April 28, 2025 federal election in Toronto, falling short of a majority by three seats.
- The election was influenced by a cost-of-living crisis, a trade war with the United States, and tensions caused by President Trump's tariffs and annexation remarks.
- The Liberals increased their number of seats in Quebec by overtaking areas previously held by the Bloc Québécois, the Conservatives expanded their support in Ontario’s suburban 905 region, and the New Democrats experienced significant losses.
- Voter turnout reached 68.5%, the highest since 1993, and Carney pledged unity and to stand up to U.S. pressures, saying, "America is interested in Canada’s land, resources, water and the country."
- Carney's minority government will require support from smaller parties to govern, while opposition leaders like Poilievre and Singh conceded defeat; discussions on trade and security with the U.S. are planned.
