Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney secured a majority government with a special election outcome on Monday (April 13, 2026) night, allowing his Liberals to pass legislation without the support of opposition parties.
Voters cast ballots for three vacant seats of the 343 districts represented in Parliament. The public Canadian Broadcasting Corporation projected a Liberal win in a Toronto district. Results for two other districts are expected Monday night.
Mr. Carney won Canada's election last year fueled by public anger over U.S. President Donald Trump's annexation threats.
His Liberal party could stay in power until 2029 after Monday's (April 13, 2026) results.
Five defections from opposition parties to Mr. Carney, including four from the main opposition Conservative party, put Mr. Carney's Liberals on the cusp of the majority.
