Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney's Liberal Party secured all three federal byelection seats on Monday, reflecting public support amid ongoing trade tensions with the United States. The results show the Liberals maintained two existing seats and gained a third in Quebec, marking a political boost for Carney.
The victory comes as trade negotiations with the US stalled, with Carney stating the decision to walk away from talks was not tied to any single issue. Preliminary results indicate strong Liberal support across all three ridings, with one seat reclaimed from the Conservatives.
In Quebec, dairy farmer Daniel Gobeil led the Liberal campaign in Chicoutimi, securing over 51% of the vote. The results highlight growing public backing for Carney's leadership, even as trade disputes with the US continue to dominate political discourse.
The byelections, held on August 31, saw the Liberals maintain a majority in all three contests, reinforcing their position in the House of Commons.
