Pierre Poilievre Loses Seat, Carney’s Liberals Win Canada’s 45th Election

Canadian elections concluded with the Liberal Party securing victory under Prime Minister Mark Carney. Following a fierce battle that saw Pierre Poilievre lose his seat in Parliament to Bruce Fanjoy of the Liberal party, Carney’s party won approximately 162 seats, potentially forming a minority government. Poilievre’s Conservative Party initially led polls but eventually lost ground as the election cycle progressed. The outcome marks Carney’s fourth consecutive term in power and ends an era of Conservative dominance. A significant factor in this shift was the public perception of former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Donald Trump’s return to the White House, which triggered a surge in patriotic sentiment amongst voters.
