In a significant political shift, the Liberal Party of Canada has secured a majority in the House of Commons following victories in three byelections held on Monday. This marks the first majority government since 2019 under Prime Minister Mark Carney. The party now holds 174 seats in the 543-member House, having retained ridings in University-Rosedale and Scarborough Southwest with over 60% of the votes. The byelections were necessitated by the departures of former Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland and former Minister of National Defence Bill Blair. In University-Rosedale, healthcare professional Danielle Martin won, while Doly Begum, who previously served in Ontario's provincial parliament, emerged victorious in Scarborough Southwest. The Liberal candidate Tatiana Auguste also retained her seat in the Quebec riding of Terrebonne, although the margin was narrow. Carney's majority was aided by five defections from opposition parties, leading to criticism from Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre, who claimed that the majority was achieved through backroom deals rather than a general election.
