Canada Election 2025: Mark Carney And Liberals Win Minority Government

Canada Votes, Carney Climbs

BOOM! Canada just flipped the script—Mark Carney is your new top guy in Ottawa!

In Monday’s federal election, Carney’s Liberal Party squeaked out a minority win with 167 seats—just five short of a majority in the 343-seat showdown known as the House of Commons. Close call? You bet. But a win’s a win, baby.

And yes, it’s the same Mark Carney who used to run the Bank of Canada and the Bank of England. Now? He’s banking on leading Canada through a new era—less polite handshake with the U.S., more “we’re done playing nice.” Yikes, Joe and Don, hope you’re watching.

This comeback was juicy. Polls earlier this year had the Liberals down bad. Like, “maybe don’t even show up” bad. But Carney campaigned like a rockstar, taking a page from Taylor Swift’s “Reputation” era—owning the headlines, flipping the narrative, and turning every dig into applause.

Meanwhile, Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives grabbed 144 seats and looked shook. The Bloc Québécois stayed in their lane with 23, and the NDP? They nosedived—just 7 seats. Oh, and their leader Jagmeet Singh lost his own riding and quit on the spot. Oof.

“It’s time for Canada to stand taller, speak louder, and stop apologizing for protecting its own,” Carney told supporters in Toronto, according to Reuters. Translation: Big Maple Energy incoming.

Even NATO’s Mark Rutte and Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelensky gave Carney the digital fist bump. So yeah, the international group chat is officially lit.

But let’s be real. A minority government means Carney’s gonna need allies—or at least some good snacks in the negotiation room. The vibes are victorious, but the hustle’s just beginning.

Still, this win? Big. Bold. And classic Canadian with a twist. Like poutine with sriracha.
