Mark Carney led 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.

As of 11:00 p.m EDT, the Liberals had won or were leading in 156 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.

    I mean it’s natural to not want a conservative government, but why root for a liberal majority and not a liberal minority with progressive parties to provide the remaining seats?

      This is honestly the way until there’s a better electoral system. Majority governments are not a great thing for the people

          Nothing, but they couldn’t form the opposition

          This minority arrangement is fine as the libs can work with the NDP or the BQ, but if the balance were held by the cons, they’d sink Canada to make the libs look bad
