Canada Elections: Around 28 million Canadians began voting on Monday for a new government after Prime Minister Mark Carney called for snap elections to seek a strong mandate as tensions remain high over US President Donald Trump’s tariff policies and annexation threats.
Voters across the nation will elect all 343 members of Canada’s House of Commons, one for each constituency. The Liberals and the Conservatives are the biggest parties in Canada, and the one which has a majority in the House of Commons will form the next government.
Meanwhile, the Liberal Party, currently led by Carney, appeared to be heading towards a crushing defeat as the high cost of living and immigration under Justin Trudeau sparked widespread unpopularity nationwide. However, Trump’s trade war and threats have upended the election and improved the fortunes of the Liberal Party, gaining a slight lead to win a fourth consecutive term in power.
If the Liberals or Conservatives secure the most seats in the House of Commons but fail to win a majority, they would need to rely on either the New Democratic Party, led by Jagmeet Singh, or the separatist Quebec party Bloc Québécois to pass legislation.
