The liberal party of Canada won Canada’s recent election for members of the House of Commons on April 28th just shy of a majority.
According to data from Elections Canada, over 19.5 million Canadians cast a ballot, with the Liberal Party getting over 8.5 million of those votes with 169 electoral districts. This was followed by the conservative party with around 8 million votes and 144 electoral districts. The Liberal Party has the lead in the Northwest Territories, Ontario, Québec, New Brunswick, and Newfoundland and Labrador.
According to CNN, Carney said in the speech that, “As I have been warning for months, America wants our land, our resources, our water, our country. But these are not idle threats. President Trump is trying to break us so that America can own us, that will never ever happen.” (,,
According to footage from Reuters, Carney, in the same speech, said that “Our old relationship with the United States, a relationship based on steadily increasing integration, is over” (Reuters, April 28th).
In a social media post on LinkedIn, Carney said that, “Canadians elected a new government to stand up for Canada and build a strong economy. As Prime Minister, I’ve heard that message loud and clear. Today, I’ve shared my plan to set out on a new path for Canada — and act with focus and determination.”
This is the Liberal Party’s fourth win a row, but they haven’t won the majority since 2015.
