Mark Carney secures Liberal majority

Prime Minister Mark Carney's Liberal government achieved a majority in the House of Commons after successful by-election results in Toronto and Montreal.

This victory follows a period of political maneuvering that saw several opposition MPs cross the floor to join the Liberal caucus.

Carney framed the win as a necessary step for national stability as Canada navigates a volatile geopolitical landscape and economic pressure from the United States.

The new majority allows the government to pass major legislation without relying on support from the NDP or other opposition parties.
