PM Carney rejoices in his win, advocating for national harmony

In the early hours of an election night with results less than expected, Mark Carney, now Canada's Prime Minister, celebrated his victory on the dance floor. The victory dance took place at the TD Stadium, where the Liberal election party was held, with his wife, Diana Fox Carney, and a small crowd of supporters.

As the night progressed, Canadian pop-rock group Down with Webster performed their song It's Time to Win, a track that was played at the end of each Liberal campaign rally. Moments earlier, Carney had given a speech urging unity and promising to "govern for all Canadians."

According to projections, the Liberals won 168 seats, compared to 144 for the Conservatives. The Bloc Québécois won 23, the New Democratic Party 7, and the Green Party 1. Despite the prospect of a minority parliament being still uncertain during his declaration, Carney did not secure the "strong mandate" he had been relentlessly seeking in the final stretch of his campaign.

On their side, Pierre Poilievre's Conservatives made a breakthrough, gaining 25 seats nationally, notably through significant gains in Ontario and British Columbia, as well as in Alberta.

Carney congratulated his opponent Pierre Poilievre for "a campaign led with determination, fairness, and courage." Poilievre, however, lost in his own riding of Carleton, which he had represented for over 20 years. Carney also "commended the contribution" of his counterpart Jagmeet Singh, who had announced his resignation as leader of the New Democratic Party an hour earlier. Singh's party suffered a significant decline, dropping from 24 to 7 or 8 MPs.

Carney won the riding of Nepean with over 20,000 votes ahead and became a federal MP for the first time.

The Liberal election night event unfolded in a somber atmosphere, with the possibility of a majority appearing unlikely from the beginning. Members of Carney's team were cautious, expressing concern about the many close races. However, supporters celebrated certain key moments, such as the confirmation of Carney's election in his Ottawa suburb riding.

Mark Carney's Liberals made gains in all provinces, retaking strongholds such as LaSalle-Emard-Verdun and Toronto-St. Paul's, which were lost to the Conservatives last year in by-elections.
