Canada federal election 2025 live updates and results: Mark Carney's Liberals projected to form next government

Yahoo29-04-2025

The Liberal Party of Canada under Mark Carney is projected to form the next government, according to the Canadian Press. The party has secured enough votes to edge out challenges from Pierre Poilievre and the Conservative Party of Canada, while the New Democratic Party saw their voter turnout plummet on April 28.
It was one of the most consequential votes in Canadian history, a battle set to the backdrop of increased tensions relating to U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs and trade war.
The last of the polling stations across the country closed at 10 p.m. EST. Currently, results across Canada's 343 ridings are being counted, which will dictate whether the Liberals form a majority or minority government for their fourth consecutive term.
In order to secure a majority, the Liberals need 172 seats in the House of Commons.
The two parties that have largely divided Canadians this election are the Conservatives and Liberals. It's been a tight race ever since a federal election was called in March 2025, which came following the resignation of former prime minister Justin Trudeau and the prorogation of Parliament.
For the latest updates, news and analysis, follow along with our Yahoo News Canada live blog.
With a Liberal government projected to win the 2025 federal election, here are the latest results pertaining to which party is leading or has been elected in Canada's 343 ridings. The threshold for a majority is 172.

U.S. president Donald Trump's role in Canada's 2025 federal election was a burning issue on election day against the backdrop of multiple election desksy projecting a Liberal government.
In the view of some of Canada's political science and foreign policy experts, Trump reshaped the Canadian election.
The commentary followed polling from recent weeks reflecting a significant turnaround by the Liberal party — who were pretty much down and out about three months ago under Justin Trudeau, according to polls in January.
However, Mark Carney's succession as Liberal leader against the backdrop of a tariff war with the U.S. and annexation threat from Trump seems to have changed the course of this election, according to different experts.
"Trump altered the course of this campaign," political science expert Eric Merkley told Yahoo News Canada, further sharing that voters were pushed away from third parties and towards the Liberals fearing Trumpism.
This election would have gone very differently without Trump's attacks on Canada's economy and sovereignty.

International affairs specialist Stephen Saideman added, "Trump always wants to make things about himself, and he was largely successful in this case."
Political scientist Christopher Cochrane agrees Trump may have given Liberals a shot but the fault lies with the Conservatives too.
"I think Trump is only partially responsible: the Conservatives could have pivoted their campaign or, for that matter, they could have kept Erin O'Toole as leader instead of moving in a more populist direction under Pierre Poilievre, in which case I suspect the Conservatives would have won this election quite easily, even with what's happening in the United States,"
— Christopher Cochrane, professor, University of Toronto.
"The Conservatives had ways to win; even with Trump is power in the U.S," he added.
The Canadian Press decision desk is projecting that Bloc Québécois Leader Yves-François Blanchet has won his Quebec riding of Beloeil-Chambly.

Voters in British Columbia and the Yukon have finished casting their ballots at 10 p.m. EST. It marks the last two jurisdictions to participate in the 2025 federal election.
Results are currently being counted nationwide, as Canadians await a highly anticipated decision for which party will form the next government, and who will be prime minister.
As of 9:30 p.m. EST, the majority of polling stations are now closed. That comes after a big wave that saw the final ballots being cast in Ontario, Quebec, the Prairies, Nunavut and the Northwest Territories.
These jurisdictions make up 267 of Canada's ridings, with the most coming from Ontario (122) and Quebec (78).

Early results from Atlantic Canada are showing a tight race, following a short, intense and heated federal election campaign.
The Canadian Press decision desk says the Liberals are leading in 22 of the 32 ridings where polls have closed, while in the 2021 election, the Liberals took 24 of 32 seats in the region. Six seats went to the Conservatives and another six undetermined.
So far, the Liberals are leading with 52 per cent of votes, compared to 21 per cent for the Conservatives.
Polls are set to close in less than an hour in vote-rich Ontario and Quebec, as well as the Prairies, the Northwest Territories and Nunavut.
The Newfoundland riding that had been held for a decade by Gudie Hutchings, a Liberal cabinet minister, has flipped to the Conservatives. Hutchings had opted not to seek another mandate in this election.

With the polls closing across the country, parties will turn their attention to key battlegrounds that could tip the balance.
In the Greater Toronto Area, the swing ridings that could prove to be decisive include Eglinton-Lawrence — a seat although Liberal for decades, the Conservatives are hoping to flip. Pierre Poilievre's Conservatives are also targeting Ajax, Ont. while hoping to defend gains in Durham and Bowmanville-Oshawa North.
In British Columbia, suburbs around Vancouver, like Burnaby and Richmond, are likely to witness tight races with the Liberals, Conservatives and NDP locked in three-way fights. Liberals also wish to retake Victoria, B.C. while being mildly optimistic about their chances in Kelowna as well.
In Ottawa, all eyes are on Carleton — where Poilievre faces tightening polls, along with Ottawa Centre — where the NDP's Joel Harden will be pushing hard to recapture a former stronghold against the Liberals. suburban Kanata will possibly see the Liberals fend off an imposing challenge by the Conservatives.
Last-minute shifts across the key battlegrounds could define the next government.

Three of Liberal Leader Mark Carney's cabinet ministers have been re-elected.
Joanne Thompson was elected in St. John's East, N.L., Kody Blois was elected in Kings—Hants, N.S., and Dominic LeBlanc was elected in Beauséjour, N.B.
The Liberals have won the ridings of Avalon and Cape Spear.
The Conservatives have won the ridings of Central Newfoundland and Long Range Mountains — the latter was held by former cabinet minister Gudie Hutchings, who did not seek re-election.

The 2025 Canada federal election is more than just about the deteriorating relationship with the U.S. as global powers like China, India, U.K. and Australia — countries that are also subjected to Trump's aggressive trade policies — watch closely.
China is hoping to reset relations with Canada, offering a partnership against American "bullying," according to a BBC report. Leaders like Mark Carney and Pierre Poilievre, however, remain wary.
Comparing Canada's battle between economic pragmatism and culture wars to U.K. debates, the British are looking at lessons for their own politics.
Australia, too, sees parallels with Canada, exploring the potential for shared security ties and future opportunities for deeper cooperation.
India-Canada relations remain strained following allegations of the Indian government being involved in in the 2023 killing of Sikh separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar in British Columbia. This election could reshape ties. Justin Trudeau's successor, Mark Carney has hinted at getting on better terms with India, while Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre may or may not take a different path.
All the four countries — in the event of facing a protectionist American administration — likely stand to gain from a strengthened friendship with Canada.
NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh is in his home riding of Burnaby Central tonight, waiting to learn his party's fate — and his own.
After a campaign that saw the New Democrats fight to hold seats in what appeared to be largely a two-party race, some observers warn that the NDP could lose official party status — an outcome that would threaten Singh's leadership.
A political party needs at least 12 members in the House of Commons to be a 'recognized party" in parliamentary proceedings.
NDP officials say they're feeling good about get-out-the-vote efforts and report internal polling suggesting late momentum gains in Ontario and B.C., where Singh spent many of the last days of the campaign.
But some in the NDP campaign say they worry that rain in Metro Vancouver may dissuade some people from going to the polls.
Singh and the NDP have spent the election campaign reminding voters of the role they played in introducing the dental-care and pharmacare programs in the previous minority government.
But Singh's support for Justin Trudeau's government allowed Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre to launch a pre-election offensive tying him to the unpopular prime minister.
And in an election which has seen many left-centre voters side with the Liberals, Singh has watched his own party's support dwindle, with polls suggesting he may lose half of the seats he came into the election with.
Singh's election-night event is happening in a hotel ballroom in his riding. The room isn't expected to fill up until around 11 p.m. ET because volunteers and staff will be working right up to when polls close in B.C. at 10 p.m. ET.
Singh ended the election on a sombre note, telling Canadians that electing New Democrats is the only way to ensure the next government is kept honest and accountable to Canadians.
Polling stations are now closed in the remaining Atlantic provinces of Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick.
N.S. is home to 11 seats, while P.E.I. and New Brunswick have four and 10, respectively.
Polls still remain open across the rest of the country.
At 8:30 p.m. NST (7 p.m. EST) polling stations in Newfoundland and Labrador stopped collecting ballots.
It marks the first region in Canada that has completed its 12-hour voting window.
Now, election officials will start to count votes coming from N.L. to determine who will represent the province's seven ridings in the House of Commons.
Canada's election has been dominated by concerns about U.S. President Donald Trump. The issues he's created and brought forward, such as those in relation to tariffs and the nation's sovereignty, have weighed heavy on the minds of Canadians. However, it hasn't distracted them fully from other conc, such as those in relation to climate change and healthcare.
Elections Canada enforces strict rules when Canadians cast their ballots.
When it comes to the process, Voters can make their ballot with a pencil, pen, or even crayon by marking an X next to their candidate. Voters can then proceed to folding the ballot and placing it in the box.
Ballots marked with a pencil are not at risk of being changed or tampered with, according to Elections Canada. Once dropped in the ballot box, it can only be unsealed at the time of counting on election day.
Phones can be used to help in the identification process. They can also be used to help read the ballot — as long as no images are saved, meaning that photographing and filming is generally prohibited. For those who are enthusiastic about voting and want to share the experience with friends, Elections Canada recommends to "take a photo of yourself outside of the polling station.'
Polls close at staggered times to allow a national results rollout, with votes counted only by hand at every polling station. The votes are counted by election workers under tight security and a paper trail is maintained.
Recounts happen automatically if the margin between first and second place is razor-thin — less than one-thousandth of votes cast.

From Thursday through Sunday, Abacus Data conducted polling of 2,500 Canadians, which it called its 'largest sample of the campaign.'
As it did on April 21, their final likely-voter model, which only polls people who've already voted or are almost certainly going to, predicts the Liberal party will garner 41 per cent of the popular vote to the Conservatives' 39 per cent. The NDP and Bloc Québécois are relegated to 10 and six per cent, respectively.
There was little change regionally, with the Tories strongest in Alberta and the Prairies, the Liberals from Quebec east, and election night battlegrounds setting up in Ontario and B.C. Those results were similar across almost every poll.
While Mark Carney and the Liberals maintain a narrow lead, Abacus CEO David Coletto wrote that a high voter turnout could help Pierre Poilievre and the Conservatives.
'Our model assumes participation in the high-60s to low-70s,' he wrote. 'If we're low — say it pushes well north of 70 per cent — that means more late deciders and infrequent voters, a pool that leans Conservative 39-37 (per cent).'
For more from the National Post, including findings from polls like Liason Strategies and Angus Reid, read here.
Liberal Leader Mark Carney cast his ballot at an Anglican church in Ottawa alongside his wife, Diana Fox Carney.
While Carney is running for a seat in Nepean, he voted in the nearby Ottawa–Vanier–Gloucester riding where he currently lives and where Liberal candidate Mona Fortier is running for re-election.
Mark Carney and Pierre Poilievre are taking to social media to get their messages out on Election Day. Both the Liberal and Conservative leaders are sharing videos to X, formerly known as Twitter, as they encourage Canadians to vote, as they stand behind the issues they've broadcasted throughout their campaigns.
Carney continues on his messaging that he's the right person to take on Donald Trump amid Canada's trade war with the U.S. It's come by resharing his viral video with Mike Myers, and also recently a jab that is likely in reference to Canada's recent win over the U.S. at the Four Nations Face-Off.
"In this trade war, just like in hockey, we will win," said Carney while at a campaign stop in Windsor, Ont. "We need to leave everything on the ice."

Poilievre continues to rally around his slogan of "Vote for Change," one he's stood behind as he looks to both, "bring home" a win for the Conservatives and stop a fourth Liberal term.
His social media efforts started bright and early, with an almost four-minute clip from his rally a day earlier in Edwards, Ont. In subsequent videos, he encouraged Canadians to go out in vote both in English and French. In between his efforts, he also sent a message to Donald Trump, telling him to "stay out of our election" after the U.S. president implied that Canadians should vote for someone who's OK with his 51st state agenda.

LAPD Chief Pushes Back on Trump National Guard Claim

Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) Chief Jim McDonnell said the protests and riots in portions of downtown Los Angeles on Wednesday are "nowhere near" the level of needing the National Guard, denouncing President Donald Trump's assertion that without the troops, the city would be "burning to the ground." Newsweek reached out to the White House via email for comment on Wednesday. Why It Matters Since his January 20 inauguration, Trump has implemented sweeping change, mainly through executive orders, and has prioritized immigration control as a key pillar within his second administration. Trump last month utilized the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, a wartime law granting the commander in chief authority to detain or deport non-citizens. The implementation was originally blocked in federal court and sparked a contentious legal back-and-forth. The president also campaigned on the promise of mass deportations and appointed Tom Homan as his administration's border czar to execute his agenda. What To Know Protests broke out on Friday in reaction to numerous U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids throughout Los Angeles. Amid the ongoing tumult, city officials including Mayor Karen Bass implemented a curfew for portions of downtown, from 8 p.m. Tuesday to 6 a.m. Wednesday, and it was extended into Wednesday night as well. The LAPD warned that people who break the curfew and who are not exempt—like first responders, credentialed media and those who live in the affected area—will be subject to arrest. While speaking to CNN's Kaitlan Collins, McDonnell said that Wednesday was a "better day," adding that it is "calmer." "No, we were not in a position to request the National Guard," McDonnell said. "We have a protocol that we work up through; first we bring in all internal resources to bear on the issue, whatever it is. Then we mobilize the department or part of the department to be able to get everybody out there dealing with the issue. If we don't have the capacity at that point to be able to do that, then through the sheriff we request mutual aid and we get our law enforcement partners from police departments and sheriff's departments throughout the Southern California region to assist us in doing what it is we need to do." "We're at that level now," McDonnell added. "And we're nowhere near a level where we would be reaching out to the governor for National Guard at this stage. And my hope is that things are going in the right direction now and that we wouldn't have had to have done that, or we won't either." Trump said in part on Wednesday while speaking to reporters that if he didn't bring in the National Guard and the Marines, the city of Los Angeles would be "burning to the ground, just like it was a number of months ago." The president's reference was to the deadly wildfires that inundated Los Angeles County, torching thousands of buildings and displacing thousands of Angelenos. Democratic California Governor Gavin Newsom in a formal address to the Golden State on Tuesday ripped Trump and his administration for inflaming an already combustible situation. Newsom also denounced any violence or harm to law enforcement, vowing to prosecute any lawlessness.

Trump said on Truth Social Wednesday: "If our troops didn't go into Los Angeles, it would be burning to the ground right now, just like so much of their housing burned to the ground. The great people of Los Angeles are very lucky that I made the decision to go in and help!!!" California Attorney General Rob Bonta posted to X on Wednesday: "18 Attorneys General from across the nation speaking out against the President's abuse of power. The Trump Administration's unlawful efforts to force federalized national guard forces and the U.S. military to patrol our streets is deeply alarming and cannot go unchecked." Bass said on X Wednesday: "Curfew remains in effect tonight 8 PM - 6 AM for Downtown Los Angeles to stop bad actors who are taking advantage of the President's chaotic escalation. If you do not live or work in Downtown L.A., avoid the area and follow guidance from law enforcement. Vandalism and violence will not be tolerated." What Happens Next There is a hearing scheduled for 1:30 p.m. Thursday to discuss the legality of the National Guard activation in Los Angeles.

NDP leader says Carney needs to keep Parliament in the loop on trade talks

OTTAWA - Interim NDP Leader Don Davies is accusing Prime Minister Mark Carney of not being transparent about negotiations with the U.S. on getting President Donald Trump's tariffs lifted. Davies said Wednesday that Parliament has not been kept in the loop on what Carney and Trump are talking about behind closed doors, or whether Ottawa has involved stakeholders in negotiations with the U.S. 'Previous Liberal governments have made quite a deal out of appointing different stakeholders from society to be present in advising them. Yet we don't know anything about that in these negotiations,' Davies told reporters outside the House of Commons just ahead of question period. 'It's time that Carney government became more transparent with Canadians, let us know who's negotiating, and definitely explain to Canadians why he's pursuing deeper military and economic integration with the United States when he promised Canadians that he would do exactly the opposite.' Carney declared during the recent federal election that Canada's old relationship with the United States, based on deepening economic integration and military cooperation, had come to an end and he vowed to stand up to Trump in the face of steep U.S. tariffs. CBC/Radio-Canada reported earlier Wednesday that the U.S. and Canada are hashing out a 'working document' that outlines details of a potential trade deal and states that Canada will participate in Trump's Golden Dome missile defence project. The prime minister's office is neither confirming nor denying that report. Asked by reporters about talks on the U.S. tariffs, Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne said the government's 'endgame' is to have all of Trump's tariffs removed, but he referred journalists to Carney and Intergovernmental Affairs Minister Dominic LeBlanc for the most up-to-date information. 'It's a very dynamic situation,' Champagne said. 'We've been engaging with our friends in the United States. You know, we talk to different people in the administration.' But Carney and Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand breezed past reporters who shouted questions at them on Wednesday, while LeBlanc was not seen in Parliament. Ontario Premier Doug Ford publicly confirmed the secret, top-level discussions last week, saying that Carney and Trump are in 'deep discussions' on trade and working 'around the clock to get a deal.' 'They're right at the brink,' Ford said in Toronto on June 5. Pete Hoekstra, Trump's ambassador to Canada, said in an armchair talk at the Canadian Club of Ottawa on Wednesday that he thinks there's a 'possibility to have a great deal.' He said that 'all indications' are that the two countries could reach a 'very positive agreement,' but couched that 'there's also the possibility you could end up with something like no deal or whatever.' 'Until a deal is announced, you really won't know what's it in it,' Hoekstra said. Trump has insisted that Canada could join his unbuilt Golden Dome continental missile defence program at a cost of $61 billion. Carney confirmed last month that he is in talks with Trump about the project. 'It's something that we are looking at and something that has been discussed at a high level,' Carney said at a press conference in Ottawa on May 21. This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 11, 2025.

How the $1,000 ‘Trump accounts' for American babies compare to 529s and custodial Roth IRAs

President Donald Trump and American business leaders this week celebrated a provision in his tax bill that would create and fund investment accounts for babies born in the next few years. The accounts would be allowed to compound and grow tax-deferred, similar to the way some retirement accounts work. 'In addition to the substantial financial benefits of investing early in life, extensive research shows that children with savings accounts are more likely to graduate high school and college, buy a home, start a business and are less likely to be incarcerated,' Trump said. 'Trump accounts will contribute to the lifelong success of millions of newborn babies.' Here's what you should know about these 'baby 401(k)s' and how they compare to other savings plans for children. The so-called Trump accounts are part of Trump's 'One Big Beautiful Bill Act' that passed through the House of Representatives last month. Republicans are aiming to get the bill through the Senate and signed by Trump by July 4th. Here's how the accounts would work: The federal government would contribute $1,000 to an investment account for every American baby born between Jan. 1, 2025, and Dec. 31, 2028. An additional $5,000 in after-tax contributions could be made annually to the accounts by parents, employers or other private entities. The money would be invested in index funds that track the overall U.S. stock market. Accounts would be controlled by a child's legal guardians until age 18. Earnings would grow tax-deferred and qualified withdrawals would be taxed at the long-term capital gains rate. 'The compounded growth of an initial $1,000 investment at the time of birth, at an average annual return of 8 percent, would amount to nearly $4,000 by age 18, more than $10,000 by age 30, and over $148,000 by age 65,' according to Bankrate Chief Financial Analyst Greg McBride. 'The key to achieving this type of growth is leaving the money untouched. As Warren Buffett espouses, 'Never interrupt compounding.'' Several business leaders praised the accounts and said they'd make contributions to their employee's kids' accounts. 'We see … the establishment of these Trump Accounts as a simple yet powerful way to transform lives,' Dell Technologies CEO Michael Dell said. 'Decades of research has shown that giving children a financial head start profoundly impacts their long-term success.' Get started: Match with an advisor who can help you achieve your financial goals Trump Accounts have some similarities with 529 savings plans, but there are some notable differences. Funding: Trump accounts would be initially funded by the federal government, while 529 plans are typically funded by parents, grandparents or other relatives. Withdrawals: Withdrawals from 529 plans are tax-free as long as they're used for qualified educational expenses. Withdrawals from Trump accounts would have fewer restrictions on their uses, but are taxed at long-term capital gains rates. Contribution limits: Annual contributions for Trump accounts would be limited to $5,000, while 529 plans allow for much higher limits, from about $235,000 to more than $600,000, depending on the state that sponsors the plan (these are lifetime limits; there's no annual limit for 529s). Many people assume that the maximum 529 plan contribution is $19,000 per child in 2025 — or $38,000 if you file jointly — but that's the maximum amount you can contribute without exceeding the annual gift tax limit. (If you give someone more than that limit in any given year, then you're required to file a gift tax return, though you likely still won't owe taxes on the gift.) Here's what else you should know about using a 529 plan to save for your kids' education. Compare advisors: Bankrate's list of the best financial advisors Custodial Roth IRAs also allow kids to set aside money and have it be invested so it grows over time. Here's how they compare to the proposed Trump accounts. Earned income requirement: Trump accounts would be funded at birth and allow for additional contributions each year, while custodial Roth IRAs require a child to have earned income during the year in order to contribute. Contribution limits: Custodial Roth IRA contributions are limited to $7,000 in 2025, or the total amount of earned income a child has during the year, whichever is less. Trump accounts would allow for annual contributions of $5,000. Taxes on withdrawals: Withdrawals from Roth IRAs during retirement are tax-free, while withdrawals from the proposed Trump accounts would be taxed at the long-term capital gains rate. Here's more on custodial Roth IRAs. The proposed Trump Accounts would create new investment accounts for every American baby born in the next few years, funded with $1,000 from the federal government. The accounts would be invested in index funds that track the U.S. stock market and could receive additional contributions each year of $5,000 from private entities. The plan is subject to change as the bill makes its way through the legislative process.
