Canada's federal election is shaping up in favor of the Liberal Party led by Prime Minister Mark Carney, who emerged after Justin Trudeau's resignation. His leadership has seen a marked shift in sentiment among voters, largely due to U.S. President Trump's tariffs and threats against Canada. While the Conservatives, led by Pierre Poilievre, initially appeared to be frontrunners, Carney's strong stance against external pressures has resonated with many Canadians. The final composition of the government, whether minority or majority, remains undetermined as counting continues.
With votes still being counted, CBC News said it is too soon to say whether it will be a minority or majority government a party needs 172 seats to form a majority.
I reject any attempts to weaken Canada, to wear us down, to break us so that America can own us, Carney told reporters in late March.
But Trump's steep tariffs on Canada and threats to its sovereignty dramatically transformed the race.
Polls tightened significantly in the last week of the campaign, with Poilievre convincing some voters that Carney could not represent the change that many Canadians said they were looking for.
