OTTAWA — Liberals managed to increase their number of seats, but not quite enough to get to their coveted majority.
Liberals picked up a seat in the Montreal-area riding of Terrebonne in Quebec. Liberal challenger Tatiana Auguste won by 35 votes ahead of Bloc Québécois incumbent Nathalie Sinclair-Desgagné, but the close result will likely lead to an automatic judicial recount.
Liberals also won the riding of Terra Nova—The Peninsulas in Newfoundland and Labrador with a squeaker. Liberal candidate Anthony Germain managed to hold onto the seat with 12 votes more than his Conservative...

OTTAWA — Jagmeet Singh said he was stepping down as NDP leader on Monday night after suffering a resounding defeat on election night, losing his own seat and seeing his party reduced to what would likely be a single-digit seat count.
When an emotional Singh took the stage to speak to a crowd of supporters in Burnaby, B.C. he was in third place in his riding with less than 20 per cent of the vote, trailing both the Conservative and Liberal candidate.

OTTAWA — Social media on election day can be the Wild West, with the tumbleweeds of misinformation blowing in left and right. Luckily, there’s a new sheriff in town: the Elections Canada X account.

These ranged from complaints about poll workers asking voters who they voted for, to claims that other workers were stealing ballots. Elections Canada was quick to shoot down the latter allegation.

OTTAWA — Liberal Leader Mark Carney promised to “govern for all Canadians” after his party was chosen to serve a fourth consecutive mandate, in a historic comeback for a party that seemed destined to be swept from most of the electoral map just a few months ago.
In the early hours of Tuesday morning, Carney took the stage to pronounce a victory speech with a particular focus on humility and unity, given that he will likely be leading a minority government. His government was projected to be a few seats short of the 172 seats necessary to form a majority government.
“While many have...
