What the fuck is this?
It was not immediately clear if the Liberals will have enough seats for a majority government. A minority government would means Carney’s party will need the support of political opponents to govern. After a narrow victory in the previous federal election, the Liberals relied on the leftwing New Democratic party to help it pass legislation. Monday’s result appeared likely to produce a similar result, with the NDP and Liberals holding enough seats to pass legislation.
You can’t run a “secures election victory” hed and then this … != “it was not immediately clear.”
At least the conservative leader saw the writing on the wall.
His party doesn’t have to win a majority of seats to be assured of forming government (aka “securing election victory”).
