By Global Leaders Insights Team | Apr 29, 2025

Multiple media outlets predict Mark Carney's Liberals will achieve victory in the Canada election on Monday which will extend their political control following a campaign period primarily marked by threats from US President Donald Trump.

Mark Carney requested strong official support from CTV and CBC to manage risks from US President Donald Trump but the Liberals failed to secure their needed 172 electoral districts for a majority. The Liberal candidates maintained leadership over the Conservative Party with 88 elected seats among the 343 seats as reported at 10:14 PM Ottawa time. Bloomberg reported. The Liberal Party led by Mark Carney retained enough voting seats to pursue governing authority while awaiting confirmation on whether they would govern alone or collaborate with partner parties according to Bloomberg's reporting of TV network predictions.

The Liberal Party was leading in substantial numbers throughout Ontario and Quebec's key manufacturing regions where Donald Trump's steel companies and automotive industries operated. The Liberal party maintained strong electoral power in the four Atlantic Provinces. Mark Carney achieved victory which proved magnificent for the Liberals after they almost faced an unprecedented election defeat only recently. The former Bank of Canada governor who also served as Bank of England governor accepted leadership of the Liberal party on March 9 and established the federal election for two weeks later. He took the role of a fighting prime minister who would protect Canada from the aggressive approach of the White House.
