Mark Carney Leads Liberals To Victory Amid Tariff Threats From Trump – 10 Latest Updates

Ottawa, Canada: In a dramatic turnaround few predicted months ago, Mark Carney’s Liberal Party has officially won the 2025 Canadian federal election, according to media reports. This decisive result follows a high-stakes contest shaped by economic uncertainty, a political leadership shift, and escalating tensions with US President Donald Trump.

With around 28 million Canadians voting across 343 constituencies, the Liberals are now set to return to power, though it remains to be seen whether they will govern with a majority or minority.

Here are 10 key developments from the 2025 Canada federal election:

1. Liberals Win the Election

Mark Carney’s Liberal Party has officially been declared the winner of the 2025 Canadian federal election. The result marks a stunning comeback for a party that was widely expected to lose earlier this year.

2. Carney Clinches Seat in Nepean

Mark Carney, 60, won his seat in Nepean and is now confirmed to continue as Prime Minister. This is his first election victory after succeeding Justin Trudeau last month in a leadership transition amid economic and political turbulence.

3. Trump’s Interference Backfires

US President Donald Trump’s controversial remarks urging Canada to become the “51st state” and his punitive tariff policies became central campaign issues. The backlash helped fuel a surge of support for the Liberals, uniting many Canadians across party lines.

4. Conservatives Fall Behind Despite Early Advantage

Pierre Poilievre’s Conservative Party, once far ahead in the polls, fell short as final projections showed them trailing the Liberals in both seat count and vote share. Discontent at Conservative headquarters was visible as results rolled in.

5. NDP Crushed, Fails to Meet Official Status Threshold

Jagmeet Singh’s New Democratic Party failed to win the required 12 seats for official party status in Parliament, managing only 8. The result represents a major blow to the left-leaning party’s national standing.

6. Bloc Québécois Faces Decline

Though Bloc Québécois leader Yves-François Blanchet retained his seat, his party is expected to lose up to 10 seats overall as support in Quebec swung toward the Liberals.

7. Voter Turnout Breaks Records

Preliminary figures from Elections Canada showed a massive increase in voter engagement, with over 7.3 million advance votes cast. Total turnout is expected to surpass recent federal elections.

8. Liberals May Still Fall Short of Majority

While the Liberals have won the election, they are still shy of the 172 seats needed for a majority. If they end up forming a minority government, Carney will need to collaborate with smaller parties for parliamentary support.

9. First Seat Called in Labrador

Liberal MP Philip Earle was the first to be declared a winner in the Labrador riding, setting the pace for early Liberal momentum.

10. Website Outage Temporarily Hits Vote Tracking

Elections Canada’s official website experienced temporary outages on election night, disrupting live vote tracking for some users. The service was restored within hours.

With final counts still underway, Carney is expected to address the nation from Ottawa, where jubilant scenes have erupted at the Liberal Party headquarters.
