Carney clinches Liberal majority

The Liberal victory marks the first time in Canadian history that a government has shifted from a minority to a majority between general elections.

Carney's majority was bolstered by the recent defection of five opposition lawmakers and a decisive win in a special election.

The Prime Minister has pledged to use his new mandate to accelerate major infrastructure projects and navigate the ongoing trade war with the United States.

While the fuel tax suspension has been welcomed by many, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has dismissed the majority as 'manufactured' and 'costly' for Canadian taxpayers.
