Mark Carney is most popular Prime Minister in history of Canada. 1.5 million more votes than anyone ever before.

Liberals at 45 year high.

Pierre Poilievre(leader of conservatives) in a safe conservative riding lost. Bucking multiple political science theories.

Conservatives at 37 year high, gaining significantly in the election.

Jagmeet Singh(leader of NDP) resigns after losing the NDP party status and his own riding; at their debt level they likely stop existing as a party.

Green Party only earnt 1 seat; Elizabeth May's riding. Her co-leader came in 5th place in his riding.

Very significant national unity crisis is now happening. Left wing no longer exists in Canada.

Carney to immediately start negotiating new trade and security agreement with Trump. Which is significantly more than CUSMA ever was. Estimated to add ~150 billion additional to the deficit. Trudeau said Canada would stop existing as a country if this happened.



Canada's population grew by over 3 million since the last election. So yes, the parties will get more votes. That combined with the utter collapse of the NDP and Green party votes, meant more vote share goes to the Liberals and Conservatives.

The left wing has been rotting out from under the NDP's guidance for years. They are no longer a grass roots party and are primarily controlled through their central offices (both federally and provincially). Provincially the NDPs have been moving towards the center to govern for years as well, just look at the Alberta and BC NDPs and their policies/actions.
