Sources close to Liberal Party leadership have confirmed to CBC that MarkMakenzie has been invited to Rideau Hall to meet with Governor General MatthewJAinsley. This meeting signals that the Liberal Party will take the helm of Canada’s 84th government, albeit in a minority capacity.

The Liberals, securing 9 seats in the recent election, emerged as the largest party in a tightly contested race but fell short of a majority. Discussions were reportedly held between the NDP, who claimed 5 seats, and the Conservatives, with 6 seats, to form a coalition that could command a majority. However, talks broke down, leaving the path clear for the Liberals to continue governing without entering a formal coalition. Despite this, the path ahead for the Liberals is uncertain. Minority governments require support from other parties to pass legislation and avoid confidence votes that could topple the government. Insiders suggest the Liberals will rely on issue-by-issue agreements to maintain stability, though no formal alliances have been announced.
The Conservatives, now led by Coolrhorace, will form the official opposition. Coolrhorace takes on the role of Leader of the Opposition and will aim to hold the government accountable while positioning his party as an alternative in what many expect to be a turbulent Parliament.
This new chapter marks MarkMakenzie’s ascent to the position of Prime Minister, becoming Canada’s 84th head of government. With a minority mandate, the Liberals face significant challenges as they navigate a fractured political landscape.
As Parliament reconvenes, all eyes will be on the ability of the Liberals to maintain support in a divided House of Commons. The coming months will test the resilience of MarkMakenzie’s leadership and his party’s ability to deliver on their promises while balancing the demands of opposition parties.
Canada’s political future remains uncertain, but one thing is clear: the road ahead will be anything but easy. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
