2025 Federal Election
Liberals edge closer to majority as judicial recount flips another Ontario seat
From LifeSiteNews
The Liberal Party is two seats away from a majority government after a recount flipped an Ontario riding in its favor, marking the second riding to switch to the Liberals post-election.
The chances of a Liberal Party majority government are increasing after another judicial recount flipped a riding.
On May 16, a judicial recount switched the southern Ontario riding of Milton East-Halton Hills South to a Liberal victory with a 21-vote difference between the Liberal and Conservative parties.
“Just before midnight, an official recount confirmed the outcome of the race in our riding of Milton East-Halton Hills South,” Liberal Kristina Tesser Derksen celebrated on X.
“It is a profound honour to be elected as your MP,” she continued.
On election night in April, the riding had been called for the Conservative Party, which previously took the riding with a narrow lead. However, a judicial recount is automatically ordered when the top two candidates are separated by less than 0.1 percent of the valid votes cast.
According to election laws, the ballots must be recounted in the presence of a provincial or territorial Superior Court judge.
The riding is the second to flip in the Liberal’s favour after post-election recounts. Earlier this month, the Quebec riding of Terrebonne flipped to the Liberals, beating the Bloc Québécois by one vote.
There are two remaining judicial recounts in Canada. One is the Newfoundland and Labrador riding of Terra Nova-The Peninsulas, where the Liberal candidate won by 12 votes.
The second is the Ontario riding of Windsor-Tecumseh-Lakeshore, where the Conservative candidate won by 77 votes.
Currently, the Liberal Party, led by Prime Minister Mark Carney, holds 170 seats in Parliament, two away from a majority government. The Conservatives hold 143 seats, the Bloc Québécois 22, the NDP seven and the Green Party one.
Under Carney, the Liberals are expected to continue much of what they did under former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, including the party’s zealous push in favor of euthanasia, radical gender ideology, internet regulation and so-called “climate change” policies. Indeed, Carney, like Trudeau, seems to have extensive ties to both China and the globalist World Economic Forum, connections that were brought up routinely by conservatives in the lead-up to the election.
2025 Federal Election
Judicial recounts could hand Mark Carney’s Liberals a near-majority government

Three official federal recounts are underway in ridings and the Liberal Party could gain one more seat, leaving it just one short of establishing a majority government.
Three judicial recounts are underway in Canadian federal ridings from the April 28 federal election, the outcomes of which could mean Prime Minister Mark Carney’s Liberals possibly securing a majority government if he gets help from the New Democratic Party.
A recent recount in the Quebec riding of Terrebonne saw the Liberals win by one vote over the Bloc Québécois, the closest election call since 1963.
There is a recount underway in the Terra Nova-The Peninsulas riding in Newfoundland and Labrador that the Liberals won by just 12 votes on election night.
In another riding, in Milton East-Halton Hills South, Ontario, a recount is taking place after the Liberals won by only 29 votes.
In the riding of Windsor-Tecumseh-Lakeshore, Ontario, a recount is occurring after the Conservatives won the riding by 77 votes.
Should the Liberals manage to hold onto and flip another riding in their favor, they would be ever closer to forming a majority government.
Carney was elected Prime Minister after his party won a minority government. Carney beat out Conservative rival Pierre Poilievre, who lost his seat. The Conservatives managed to pick up over 20 new seats, however, and Poilievre has vowed to stay on as party leader for now before running in a by-election.
As reported by LifeSiteNews, the interim leader of Canada’s far-left New Democratic Party (NDP) has claimed the Liberal Party is contacting its MPs to find out whether they want to cross the floor to help secure a majority government under Carney.
The Liberals have 170 seats, just two shy of a majority. The NDP has seven seats, which is 12 short of official party status. Former NDP leader Jagmeet Singh resigned after losing his seat in the April election.
Under Carney, the Liberals are expected to continue much of what they did under former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, including the party’s zealous push in favor of abortion, euthanasia, radical gender ideology, internet regulation, and so-called “climate change” policies.

Mark Carney says unlike his predecessor Justin Trudeau, the Liberals will not be making a voting pact with the left-wing New Democratic Party.
Prime Minister Mark Carney has said that his Liberal Party, which formed a minority government last week, will not be forming a voting pact with the far-left New Democratic Party.
Speaking to reporters last week, Carney replied “no” when asked by a reporter if he would be “pursuing a formal governing pact of any kind with the NDP.”
The reporter followed up asking, “Why not?” to which Carney replied, “Why?” adding, “That’s my answer.”
Last week’s election saw Liberal leader Carney beat out Conservative rival Pierre Poilievre, who also lost his seat to a Liberal rival. Poilievre’s riding was unusual in that it had 90 candidates named on the ballot, making the voting list in that riding incredibly long.
The Conservatives managed to pick up over 20 new seats, and Poilievre has vowed to stay on as party leader, for now, and will soon run in a by-election to try and regain his seat.
As it stands now, the unofficial results show the Liberals at 169 seats, which is four short of a majority. The Conservatives have 144 seats, the Bloc Québécois have 22 seats, the NDP has 7 and the Green Party has one.
In 2022, while also leading a Liberal minority government, former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau concocted a Supply And Confidence Agreement with former NDP leader Jagmeet Singh. Under the agreement, the NDP would protect the Liberals from being ousted via a vote of non-confidence in exchange for the Liberals supporting certain NDP-led legislation.
Carney’s insistence that he will not make such an agreement means it remains to be seen how his government will garner the votes necessary to pass legislation.
