Canada's 2025 Federal Election: Liberal Party Projected Winners Under Mark Carney
Controversial Reports Predict Victory for Prime Minister Carney and the Liberal Party in Canada's Upcoming Elections - Canadian Election Forecast: Liberal Party of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau Expected to Secure Victory
Vote counting is in and early projections suggest that Mark Carney's Liberal Party is set to win Canada's 2025 federal election, as per reports from several Canadian media outlets on Monday night. With the Liberals leading the Conservatives, CBC and CTV News have projected that the Liberals will form the next Canadian government, although it remains to be seen if Carney's party will secure a majority.
During the campaign, the election was marred by trade disputes and Trump's ambitions to annex Canada. On Monday, Trump reiterated his aggressive stance on social media, causing a wave of Canadian pride and patriotism. The Conservatives' Pierre Poilievre condemned Washington's interference, stating, "President Trump, keep your grubby paws off our election." Carney, favored as the winning candidate, championed his economic expertise to counter Trump's threats, often distancing himself from his predecessor Justin Trudeau.
Carney entered the race as the clear favorite, leveraging his experience as a former Bank of Canada governor and presenting himself as the perfect candidate to handle trade tensions. The Conservatives focused their campaign on addressing voter concerns regarding cost of living, crime, and the housing crisis.
Canadians went to the polls in large numbers on Monday, with a record 7.3 million votes casted in advance. Voters lined up at voting stations in Montreal, Ottawa, and Toronto, despite the pleasant spring weather.
A YouGov final MRP model predicted a Liberal majority (185 seats) with 90% confidence right before the vote, accepting a 10% chance of a hung parliament.
