Mark Carney Nears Canadian Majority

Canadians are voting today in three federal districts that could fundamentally reshape the balance of power in Ottawa.

Prime Minister Mark Carney is looking to secure the 172 seats required for a parliamentary majority, aided by a series of recent floor-crossings from rival parties.

While the Liberals are favored in their Toronto strongholds, a tight race in the Montreal-area district of Terrebonne remains a critical toss-up.

Analysts suggest that Carney's image as a 'wartime leader' during the Iran crisis has bolstered his support among voters seeking stability.
