Canadians give Liberals 4th mandate as Carney leads party to minority win – CTV News
April 29, 2025
Mark Carney vowed to govern for all Canadians after leading the Liberals to a narrow victory on Monday in an election dominated by issues like affordability, tariffs and annexation threats from U.S. President Donald Trump.
CTV News is declaring the Liberals have won enough seats in the 45th federal election to form a minority government.
“I chose to enter politics because I felt we needed big changes in this country, but big changes guided by strong Canadian values,” Carney told cheering supporters in Ottawa early Tuesday. “And those include three values that I want to highlight this evening: humility, it’s Canada after all; ambition, it’s Canada after all; and unity.”
As of 5:55 a.m. EDT, the Liberals had won or were leading in 168 out of 343 ridings. Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives are set to remain in opposition, with 144 ridings so far. Parties need 172 seats to form a majority.
