Canada just saw one of the most dramatic federal elections in its recent history. It was a stunning political comeback for the Liberal Party. The party notched its fourth consecutive win since 2015.
Just four months ago, the Conservatives enjoyed a commanding 25-point lead, seemingly cruising toward a comfortable victory. The trajectory changed drastically in March. Mark Carney entered the political arena as the new leader of the Liberal Party. With his calm confidence, Carney transformed the party’s doom into momentum. He had a global reputation as an economist and an unassuming demeanor. These qualities eventually led them to a remarkable victory.
Carney’s fresh presence and composed leadership stood in stark contrast to his chief rival, Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre. Carney outshone Poilievre in both tone and substance. He offered not only skill, but also a refreshing humility. Such humility is rarely seen in modern politics.
In his victory speech, Carney struck a note of introspection and exclusivity, declaring:
“I have made many mistakes, and I will make more. But I commit to admitting them openly, correcting them quickly, and always learning from them.”
He added with a poetic simplicity that resonated deeply:
“When we are kind, kindness grows. When we seek unity, unity grows. When we are Canadian, Canada grows.”
Carney and NDP leader Jagmeet Singh emphasized unity and humility. Meanwhile, Poilievre’s speech retained his characteristic defiance and combativeness. He faced the prospect of losing his own riding.
A special note of respect goes to Jagmeet Singh, who showed grace and courage in accepting his defeat. In a dignified gesture, he offered to step down as leader of the NDP. This marked the end of a significant political chapter.
Canada loses a principled and passionate voice—one that consistently championed the marginalized and the vulnerable.
As Mark Carney takes the helm, he faces an increasingly polarized political landscape. If his humility remains, he can help to unify Canada in the future. His collaborative spirit needs to continue to guide him. Canada become a more united nation. It also become a kinder and future-looking nation.

Let us hope that things will improve under PM Carney.
The workers and low income voters rejected the ideologue NDP.
Leader Jagmeet’s defeat indicates hidden concerns. Will someone come forward to take over the reign of 7 MPs ? Better NDP merge with Liberal Party.
Let us hope that prices will come down as soon as possible.
Public has become used to minority governments.
