The election results were finalized by 10:15 PM Eastern Time, demonstrating the swift electoral process.
Interestingly, Poilievre held a commanding 50-point lead in Polymarket polling earlier in February.
However, his inability to refrain from discussing Trump proved detrimental.
What a tactical blunder.
The GREATEST comeback of all time? In January, Polymarket odds of the Liberals winning were at a mere 3%.

Canada called the election within hours of the polls closing, showcasing a remarkable efficiency in its electoral process.
For reference, Canada employs paper ballots and conducts voting in a single day.

In the lead-up to the election, Carney made headlines by pledging to enforce stricter regulations on free speech.
Apparently, this resonated well with voters.
Mark Carney is not shying away from controversial pledges, openly advocating for restrictions on speech as the election neared its conclusion. The 2025 Canadian federal election took place on April 28.
It seems Carney is ready to continue the legacy of his predecessor, Justin Trudeau, but with a more authoritarian twist.
Mark Carney: “We are confronting numerous serious issues. One critical issue is the overwhelming presence of misogyny, antisemitism, hatred, and conspiracy theories online—pollution that crosses our virtual borders from the United States… This poses significant risks when it begins to affect social behavior. When Canadians feel unsafe in community centers, places of worship, or schools—or worse, when it impacts our children. My administration will take decisive action if elected.”

Canadians may be on the brink of sacrificing their free speech rights, yet the electorate appears largely unfazed by this prospect.
Clearly, Carney seems to be following in the footsteps of Trudeau, maintaining a trend of governance that prioritizes control over civil liberties.
