Mark Carney's Liberal Party has won enough seats in the House of Commons to form a government in Canada.
However, CBC News projects they will fall short of the majority they wanted.
Carney is set to remain prime minister, having only assumed the role in early March following Justin Trudeau's resignation

Anyway, I know I'm a Pollyanna.
The Livberals gained seats and so did the Conservatives. The losses were among the small parties, but the Liberals were rewarded with 60% of those loses and the Conservatives just 40% of them.
Unless there is a very big change in the mindset of Canadians across the board, or the economy under the Liberals goes into the tank, I don’t see the Canadian conservatives returning to a majority.
Oh, you must be from P.E.I.
Canada made their bed, now they have to sleep in it.
It will be interesting to see how long the NDP call in their IOU from the Liberals. So many voters crossed over to the libs.
Without an audit, we’ll never know.
It’s not very fair to paint them all like that. There’s no Electoral College, the PM is more or less decided by the votes of just 2 provinces. And the previous gov’t imported enough foreigners to negate even more western votes. It’s like writing off every conservative in California.
Looking at the electoral map, Alberta stands out as almost entirely Conservative, a north of the border equivalent of Oklahoma or Wyoming.
The global significance of Mark Carney's election as Canadian Prime Minister is he now sits at the centre of an alternative pole of global economic thinking. Everything but Trump.
(Globalist puke, Hosting G7 in mid June)
I heard him say “America's leadership of the global economy is over”
he is saying, with the help of the rest of the G7, he will step up.
I feel sorry for the general Canuckistanians.
In the 50s, 60s, & 70s [maybe the 80s too...] it used to be a Great Place.
Free yourself, Alberta, Cowboy up!
Trump will make a play for Alberta and Saskatchewan
And time for the USA to welcome them with open arms!
Yes, but the Western Provinces could sleep with their neighbors to the south.
If Alberta and Saskatchewan voted to leave, I suspect that BC would decide it would be better for them to leave as well as likely the Conservatives could pick up the needed extra votes from one of the other BC parties. Otherwise, the Old Canada would not care much about that province out west, and all the funds would be doled out in the East. Maybe even Manitoba would leave, in which case the new Canada, named West Canada would take the three Canadian territories along with them. West Canada and East Canada look good on a map. They could make Edmonton, the current Alberta provincial capital, the capital of West Canada. East Canada would be left with Ontario, Quebec and the Maritime provinces. West Canada would become an economic powerhouse.

Nice charting work by BBC on the Canadian election results.
