In stunning comeback, Carney’s Liberals win Canada’s federal election
The projected result marked a reversal in fortunes for a party that was on track for a historic wipeout only months ago and capped a campaign upended by Trump.
OTTAWA — Prime Minister Mark Carney’s Liberals were set to win a federal election Monday, the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. projected, in an extraordinary comeback that was fueled in part by President Donald Trump’s tariff policies and attacks on Canada. Just months ago, Carney’s party was headed for a potentially historic drubbing.
It was not yet clear whether the Liberals would lead a minority or majority government as votes continued to be counted. In a minority government, the ruling party must rely on the support of opposition parties to stay in power and pass its agenda. This is the fourth consecutive Liberal government since 2015.
On Tuesday morning, Carney’s main opponent, sharp-tongued populist Pierre Poilievre, was projected by CBC to lose his seat in Carleton, Ontario, to the Liberal candidate. Still, his Conservative party was projected Tuesday morning to pick up more seats than it did during the last federal election in 2021.
