The 2025 Canadian federal election, held on April 28, 2025, was won by the Liberal Party led by Mark Carney. The Liberals secured 170 seats, just two short of a majority, and thus formed a minority government. They achieved their highest vote share since 1980, with 43.8% of the popular vote, winning seats in every province except falling short of 40% in Alberta and Saskatchewan. The Liberals led in key provinces such as Ontario, Quebec, British Columbia, and the Atlantic provinces, with notable gains in Quebec and urban areas like Toronto and Ottawa

. The Conservative Party, led by Pierre Poilievre, gained 143 seats with 41.3% of the vote, their best result since 1988, but fell short of overtaking the Liberals. Poilievre lost his own seat in Carleton, partly due to his support for the 2022 Freedom Convoy protests and his policy pledges

. Mark Carney emphasized unity and serving all Canadians in his victory speech and expressed concern about U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs and rhetoric about Canada potentially becoming a U.S. state, which was a significant issue during the election
