Mark Carney projected as winner of Canadian federal election

The 45th Canadian federal election results are in, and the Liberal Party of Canada, led by Mark Carney, is projected to form government.

When the Liberal Party’s win was projected, the count showed the Liberal Party of Canada leading with 161 seats and the Conservative Party of Canada trailing with 138 seats. Many seats are left to be decided.

172 seats out of a possible 343 are required to form a majority.

Carney and Conservative leader Poilievre ran two very different campaigns, and U.S. President Donald Trump was a significant factor in political conversations leading to the election. Tariffs and the trade war took up considerable time on the campaign trail for both leaders.

Trump even got involved on the morning of election day.

Looking at the popular vote, both parties were neck and neck, with the Liberal Party having a slight edge.

The New Democrats and the Greens failed to show they gained any significant ground in this election. The NDP was projected to win six or seven seats when the Liberal Party’s victory was declared. The Green Party of Canada is currently not leading in any riding. Meanwhile, the Bloc Quebecois is leading with 25 as of this article’s publication.
