Mark Carney Wins Majority Government

Mark Carney Wins Majority Government

The historic win marks the first time in Canadian history that a government has switched from a minority to a majority between general elections.

Carney stated that the majority gives him a 'stronger hand' to negotiate with President Trump amid an ongoing trade war and regional instability.

The fuel tax pause, which takes effect next week, is intended to provide immediate relief at the pump for families and businesses.

Despite the victory, opposition leader Pierre Poilievre dismissed the result as a 'manufactured' majority achieved through backroom deals.
