Mark Carney and the Liberal party have won the federal election.

In his victory speech, Carney vowed to ‘represent everyone’.

Both NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh and Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre lost their seats.

Singh said he would step down as soon as an interim party leader can be appointed. Poilievre did not indicate any plans to step down.

The tightest race in Newfoundland and Labrador was Terra Nova-The Peninsulas, a riding that remained undecided late into election night and ended in a pause for Elections Canada to count one more poll containing special ballots. Late Tuesday afternoon, Elections Canada posted that Liberal Anthony Germain defeated Conservative Jonathan Rowe by just 12 votes with a recount expected.

There are seven seats in Newfoundland and Labrador – five are Liberal and two are Conservative.

Carney now has a mandate as prime minister. The former central banker-turned federal politician will now lead a minority government in Parliament. So marks the end of a high stakes election campaign – as U.S. President Donald Trump continues to threaten Canada’s sovereignty and economy.

Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre lost his own seat in a riding he held for seven straight elections. Only a few months ago, the Conservative leader was poised to win a majority government. Pollievre told supporters last night he plans to stay on as party leader.
