Mark Carney’s Liberals gains majority

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney’s Liberal Party has clinched a parliamentary majority after sweeping three by-elections, a win that strengthens his hand in countering Donald Trump’s threats

Majority makes it easier for Carney to pass legislation and consolidate his hold on power until at least 2029
