This image was generated by AI and may not depict real events.
The Liberal party, led by Prime Minister Mark Carney, has won three byelections, securing a slim majority in the House of Commons. This historic win marks the first time a federal government in Canada has switched from a minority to a majority between elections.
The Liberal party has won three byelections, giving them 174 seats in the House of Commons. This surpasses the 172 seats needed for a majority. The wins came in the Toronto area and in Terrebonne, a traditional Bloc Québécois stronghold. The Liberals campaigned heavily in Terrebonne, with Prime Minister Carney and the entire Quebec caucus supporting candidate Tatiana Auguste. Auguste won by a few hundred votes. The Liberal party also won in University—Rosedale and Scarborough Southwest, previously held by former cabinet ministers. The new MPs will be sworn in and take their seats in the House of Commons in the next few weeks.
