In a nail-biting election, Mark Carney's Liberal Party falls just short of a majority in Parliament, needing support from smaller parties.

Mark Carney has made history in Canada's Parliament by leading the Liberals to secure 169 out of 343 seats. Although they narrowly missed a majority, they are set to push through their agenda with support from smaller parties despite the recent challenges.

In the recent Canadian election, Prime Minister Mark Carney's Liberal Party achieved a pivotal moment by capturing 169 seats in Parliament, just shy of the 343 needed for a majority. This result means that the Liberals will need to team up with smaller parties, like the Greens or New Democrats, to get their policies passed. Carney, who took over after Justin Trudeau, faced skepticism just a few months ago, with many predicting a rough defeat against the Conservatives.

This election not only marked Carney's political debut but also a notable win for the Liberals, who secured a fourth term after overcoming significant opposition. The Conservatives, led by Pierre Poilievre, landed with 143 seats and, unexpectedly for him, Poilievre lost his long-held seat, making the defeat sting even more. The challenges ahead include addressing recent economic threats, particularly concerning policies enacted by former President Trump.
