Mark Carney wins Canadian majority

Mark Carney's Liberal Party successfully flipped key seats in Toronto and Montreal, ending a year of minority government constraints.

The prime minister's mandate was bolstered by a series of floor crossings from opposition parties, allowing the Liberals to surpass the 172-seat threshold in the House of Commons.

Carney has pledged to use this new authority to diversify Canada's trade relationships and expand energy infrastructure to reduce reliance on the U.S. economy.

The victory ensures his administration can govern effectively until 2029, providing stability during a period of global geopolitical upheaval.
