CWEB News Exclusive – Prime Minister Mark Carney and the Liberal Party have secured victory in the 2025 Canadian federal election, returning to power with a minority government following a high-turnout and intensely watched national vote. Despite not winning an outright majority, the Liberals remain the largest party in the House of Commons, poised to lead with strategic alliances in a divided Parliament.

Liberals Secure Plurality, Conservatives Gain Ground

According to CWEB News’ post-election analysis, the Liberal Party won 169 seats, maintaining its position as the largest political force but falling just short of the 170 needed for a majority. The party will need support from smaller blocs such as the Bloc Québécois (22 seats) or the Green Party (1 seat) to advance its legislative agenda.

The Conservative Party, led by Pierre Poilievre, made substantial gains with 144 seats, but the celebration was dampened by Poilievre’s loss of his own riding of Carleton, a major symbolic defeat that has sparked internal debate about the party’s leadership direction.

“Canadians have spoken, and we are ready to govern with humility and resolve,” Prime Minister Carney said during his victory address. He emphasized his priorities: economic stability, climate responsibility, and national unity.

Opposition Leaders Face Historic Defeats

Several party leaders suffered unprecedented setbacks in the 2025 election:

• Pierre Poilievre (Conservative Party): Despite a national surge, Poilievre lost his seat and is now unable to participate in Parliament, triggering speculation about his future as party leader.

• Jagmeet Singh (New Democratic Party): The NDP leader also lost his seat and resigned following a significant drop in support, with the party reduced to 7 seats.

Record Voter Turnout Signals Renewed Engagement

CWEB News highlights a surge in democratic participation, with over 66% of registered voters casting ballots—Canada’s highest turnout since 2006. Advance voting also broke records, with more than 7 million Canadians using early voting options.

Political observers attribute this spike in engagement to widespread public interest in economic policy, climate action, and healthcare reform.

Carney Faces New Test: Leading a Minority Government

As a former Bank of Canada governor, Prime Minister Carney enters his term with strong economic credentials and global respect—but now must navigate the challenges of a minority government.

Key priorities on his agenda include:

• Stabilizing inflation and reducing living costs

• Advancing clean energy and climate legislation

• Expanding access to public healthcare

• Rebuilding trust and cooperation across political divides

International leaders, including French President Emmanuel Macron, publicly congratulated Carney, commending his “steady leadership in turbulent times.”

Final 2025 Canadian Election Seat Count

• Liberal Party: 169 seats

• Conservative Party: 144 seats

• Bloc Québécois: 22 seats

• New Democratic Party (NDP): 7 seats

• Green Party: 1 seat

With 170 seats needed for a majority, the Liberal Party will rely on strategic cooperation with smaller parties to pass legislation, ushering in a period of political negotiation and minority governance.
