Mark Carney secures majority government

The Liberal Party's sweep of byelections in Ontario and Quebec has transformed Mark Carney's minority administration into a majority government with 174 seats.

This political shift allows the Prime Minister to pass major legislation without relying on opposition support until the next scheduled election in 2029.

Carney campaigned on a platform of protecting Canada from U.S. economic volatility and expanding energy exports amidst the ongoing Middle East conflict.

Analysts suggest the results reflect a voter preference for stability as trade tensions with the Trump administration continue to escalate.
