Liberals win 2021 federal election, size of victory to be determined
CTV
CTV News' Decision Desk has declared that the Liberals have won the 2021 federal election, but whether it will be a majority or minority remains to be determined.
This is a breaking news update. More coming.
Polls have now closed in the majority of the country, with results already rolling in from Atlantic Canada and data expected soon from Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, Nunavut and Northwest Territories.
The early results being reported in this historic 36-day pandemic federal election show the Liberals taking an early lead, though Conservatives have picked up two seats in Atlantic Canada, a region that has been a Liberal stronghold over the last two federal elections. The NDP have lost their one seat in the region to the Liberals.
As of 9:55 p.m. EDT, CTV News’ decision desk has determined that 21 Liberals, six Conservatives, and one New Democrat have been elected.
