The Liberal Party, led by Prime Minister Mark Carney, won the 2025 Canadian federal election. They secured 170 seats out of 343 in the House of Commons, falling just two seats short of a majority but successfully forming a minority government. The Liberals achieved their highest vote share since 1980 with 43.8% and won seats in every province except Alberta and Saskatchewan where they did not exceed 40% of the popular vote. Carney emphasized unity and vowed to serve all Canadians regardless of political affiliation. The election was notably influenced by U.S. President Donald Trump's aggressive trade tactics and rhetoric towards Canada
. The Conservative Party, led by Pierre Poilievre, gained 143 seats with 41.3% of the vote, their best showing since 1988, but still came in second. Poilievre lost his own seat in Carleton, which was attributed to his support for the 2022 Freedom Convoy protest and other policy positions. Despite the defeat, he pledged to continue leading the Conservatives as an effective opposition party
. In summary, Mark Carney's Liberals won the 2025 Canadian election and formed a minority government, while the Conservatives made significant gains but remained the opposition
