As final numbers continue to trickle in this morning, it is a fourth mandate for the Liberals, with Prime Minister Mark Carney at the helm of a second minority government.
Carney, who ran on an anti-Trump platform and a promise for the “most ambitious housing plan since the Second World War” including 500,000 new homes over the next decade, told his supports following his win that, “when I sit down with President Trump, it will be to discuss the future economy and security relationship between two sovereign nations.”
While Carney touted his plans for the future, Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre and NDP leader Jagmeet Singh both lost their seats, with the NDP also losing official party status. The Bloc also suffered significant losses as a wave of patriotism reinforced Liberal sentiment in the province.
