Results of the 2025 General Election in Canada: Shaky Stability

The early general parliamentary elections of 2025, which did not significantly change the political landscape of Canada, outlined a trend of Canadian politics polarization and confirmed the continuing cleavages between the eastern provinces, which support the Liberals, and Western Canada, which supports the Conservatives. The Liberal Party of Canada, which won for the fourth consecutive time but again did not win a majority of seats in the House of Commons and retained control of the minority government, will have to cooperate with opposition parties to pass the necessary bills. A sharp decline in the influence of the New Democratic Party, the Green Party and the Bloc Québécois may mark the beginning of the formation of a de facto two-party system in Canada, as well as bring the issue of reforming the single-member plurality electoral system back into the field of public debate.
