Carney's Liberals beat Conservatives in Canada's 45th election

Mark Carney led the Liberals to victory in Canada's recent election, addressing issues like affordability and U.S. tariffs. The final seat count is pending, but the Liberals are projected to secure between 148 and 172 seats. Pierre Poilievre's Conservatives will remain in opposition with 115 seats.

Carney, who replaced Justin Trudeau as prime minister, emphasized his experience in economic crises. Trump's tariffs seemed to bolster Canadian nationalism, benefiting the Liberals.

Carney is the first Canadian Prime Minister without prior elected experience. A record 7.3 million Canadians voted in advance polls, reflecting significant public engagement.
