US EditionOntario, Prairies blocked Liberals from an election-night majority blowout
- Prime Minister Mark Carney's Liberals won the April 2025 federal election but fell short of a majority, primarily due to losses in Ontario and the Prairies.
- The party aimed for a strong mandate to counter U.S. President Donald Trump's threat, but failed to maintain seats in the Greater Toronto Area and Prairie provinces.
- While the Liberals gained seats in Quebec, British Columbia, and Eastern Ontario, they lost key ridings like Brampton West and many in York Region, where crime and affordability shaped voter decisions.
- Elections Canada reported the Liberals winning 169 seats, just three short of the 172 needed for a majority, with the party dropping from 78 to 69 seats in Ontario alone.
- The results suggest regional demographic shifts, rising crime concerns, and dissatisfaction over immigration policies influenced voting patterns, leaving Carney with a minority government and ongoing challenges.
