Prime Minister Mark Carney, current leader of the Liberal Party, called the vote in March shortly after taking over from former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. His main opponent in the race was Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre. Carney is now projected to have won a fourth mandate for the party.

TORONTO (AP) — The Liberal Party has won the federal election in Canada, culminating a process marked by U.S. President Donald Trump threats on a trade war and of making the country the 51st American state.

The party fell short of a parliamentary majority, while Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre said he would stay head of his party.
