Mark Carney will continue as Canada’s prime minister. The Liberal Party leader, who stepped into the prime ministership less than two months ago following the resignation of Justin Trudeau, will form his own government after his party won the most seats in Monday night’s Canadian federal election.
Final counts are still rolling in, but Carney is set to head to parliament with a pile of MPs in tow, with major networks projecting his Liberals to form government.
He defeated his primary challenger, Pierre Poilievre and his Conservative Party. Another big narrative coming out of the election is the collapse of more minor parties like the left-leaning NDP, who saw their representation in parliament crash and burn.
So what does Carney and the Liberals’ win mean for LGBTQ2S+ issues in Canada? Senior editor Mel Woods breaks down what happens next.
