Canada's political landscape shifts after Liberals gain the power to pass laws without depending on opposition support. Prime Minister Mark Carney secured a majority government on Monday night after his party won two Toronto by-elections, University-Rosedale and Scarborough Southwest. The Liberals now hold 173 seats in the House of Commons, and the party could remain in power until the next scheduled election in 2029.
