Mark Carney nears Liberal majority

Mark Carney nears Liberal majority

The byelections in University—Rosedale, Scarborough Southwest, and Terrebonne follow a period of political realignment that saw five MPs cross the floor to join the Liberals.

Carney has framed the elections as a choice for stability in an increasingly uncertain geopolitical world, particularly following recent actions by the Trump administration.

An Ipsos poll suggests that 53 percent of Canadians favor a Liberal majority, while 47 percent remain opposed.

The outcome will determine Carney's ability to push through a legislative agenda he deems vital for national security and economic resilience.
