PM #MarkCarney of #Canada Monday gained a majority in the #HouseOfCommons after special parliamentary #elections, solidifying the #Liberal Party’s hold on #power.
Since late last year, 5 members of opposition parties have joined the Liberals, one as recently as last week, bringing #Carney within a single vote of the 172 needed for a #majority. CBC News projected Monday night that Liberal candidates won 2 of the 3 elections, giving Carney a majority.

The likely result of the third vote remained unclear.
With his newfound control, Carney will have broader latitude with his #legislative agenda, which is focused on reducing Canada’s dependency on the #US, & give him a stronger footing with which to deal with #Trump, especially on #trade.
