The Liberal Party of Canada, led by Prime Minister Mark Carney, has won Monday’s legislative elections, according to early projections reported by several media outlets following the close of polling stations. The results suggest the party is poised to form the next government and secure a new term in power.

Both CBC and CTV News forecast that the Liberals will lead the upcoming government, though it remains unclear whether they will achieve a parliamentary majority.
These preliminary results come amid an unprecedented national crisis sparked by renewed threats from U.S. President Donald Trump, who reiterated on Monday his intent to annex Canada’s northern territories.
Just months ago, the path seemed clear for the Conservative Party, led by Pierre Poilievre, to return to power after a decade under Justin Trudeau’s leadership.
On Monday night, a jubilant crowd gathered in Ottawa to celebrate the Liberals' apparent victory.
Former Justice Minister David Lametti expressed optimism, stating, "I’m very happy. It’s still early, but I’m confident we’ll succeed in securing a majority."
Carney, 60, a political newcomer but a renowned economist, successfully appealed to voters concerned about Canada’s economic and national sovereignty, positioning himself as the most capable leader during these uncertain times. — (AFP)
