The incumbents have formed the government since 2015, under the leadership of former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. The Conservatives had been ahead in the polls by double-digit margins since 2023. But when Trudeau announced his resignation in January, and President Donald Trump took office south of the border, the Liberals started to climb in opinion polls.
With the Liberal Party occupying the center to center-left of the political spectrum, and dominating in opinion polls, the leftist New Democrats could be squeezed out of official party status in the House of Commons, if they can’t reach the 12-seat mark. The Bloc Quebecois only runs candidates in majority French-speaking Quebec, the country’s second most populous province, and will look to defend the 30-plus member contingent they’ve had since 2019, following electoral wipeouts in two prior elections.

Notes
The total number of seats in Parliament is now 343, up from 338 seats at the last general election in 2021. Results from the last election were transposed to the 2023 electoral map by Elections Canada and represented as such in the graphics for ease of comparison. For results using the previous electoral map, see our 2021 results page (prior to validation) or Elections Canada’s page.
Major cities on the provincial-level map include districts defined by Elections Canada in its list of major centres, which was determined from Statistics Canada’s census metropolitan areas. This definition differs from common parlance about these regions: for instance, the exurb of Oshawa could be considered part of the Greater Toronto Area, but is not part of the Toronto CMA, thus also not part of the Toronto major centre either.
