Mark Carney's Liberal Party secured a victory in the 2025 Canadian federal election, retaining his position as Prime Minister, though the party fell short of a majority, necessitating a delicate governing process in a fragmented Parliament.
The Liberals almost reached the 172-seat majority threshold, benefiting from a surge in Quebec ridings, while facing disappointment in Ontario's 905 region. Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre lost his suburban Ottawa riding but pledged to remain leader, as his party gained seats in the Toronto area and B.C., and maintained strength in Alberta.
The NDP lost official party status, and its leader, Jagmeet Singh, was defeated in his riding and promised to step down. The Bloc Québécois, though diminished in Quebec, emerged as the third-largest faction.
Carney's immediate agenda includes forming a new cabinet of no more than 30 members, recalling Parliament by late May, resetting Canada-U.S. trade relations with President Donald Trump, implementing a middle-class tax cut saving two-income families up to $825 annually, amending carbon pricing legislation, and launching the Build Canada Homes program to stimulate 500,000 new homes per year with GST breaks for first-time homebuyers.
