Canada's Liberals will again form another minority government - with a similar number of seats to the 2021 election.
In a drastic bounceback from projections at the start of the year, the Liberals claimed a sizeable plurality for the third straight election - the first under leader Mark Carney - but fell shy of the 172 seats needed for claim a majority, with the Conservatives again forming the official Opposition, despite a substantially higher seat count than 2021.
Carney won his riding - gaining a seat in Parliament - which would make him the first prime minister based in an Ottawa riding since Sir John A. MacDonald moved from Carleton to Kingston in 1887.
While his party improved its seat count, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre, however, failed to hold onto the Carleton riding - which borders Carney's riding of Nepean - losing to Liberal Bruce Fanjoy after nearly 21 years in Parliament, though Poilievre suggested he would not be stepping down as leader, telling supporters "it will be an honour to continue to fight for you and be a champion for your cause as we go forward".
NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh, however, announced he will be stepping down after nearly eight years, after coming third in his British Columbia riding while the NDP had its worst showing in its nearly 65-year existence, falling far shy of the 12 seats needed to keep official party status.
Green Party co-leader Elizabeth May - who has announced plans to challenge official party status threshold for the NDP, asking the Speaker change the unofficial rule so there is more representation on committees - kept her British Columbia riding, though co-leader Jonathan Pedneault was unable to claim his Quebec riding, and the party also lost their other seat.
People's Party Leader Maxime Bernier also failed to regain his former riding, as his party was again shut out.
Locally, Liberal Terry Sheehan narrowly held onto the reformed riding of Sault Ste. Marie-Algoma - which now includes the Highway 17 corridor from Elliot Lake to White River, including Wawa, Dubreuilville, and Hawk Junction - edging out Conservative Hugh Stevenson, while the NDP's Laura Mayer trailed, about 40 points behind.
Chapleau's gone blue, however, with Conservative Gaetan Malette elected to represent the Kapuskasing-Timmins-Mushkegowuk riding - which includes Chapleau - garnering nearly half of the votes cast, ahead of Liberal Steve Black - who was about 10 points back - while the NDP's Nicole Fortier Levesque - whose party used to represent the area - only saw about 10 percent of the votes cast in the riding.
Malette thanks his "great" team and outlines some priorities for the new term.
The NDP have disappeared from Northern Ontario, with the Liberals and Conservatives splitting the region.
Nipissing-Timiskaming appears to have stayed Liberal - with Pauline Rochefort narrowly leading Conservative Garry Keller - while the newly redrawn Sudbury East-Manitoulin-Nickel Belt went to Tory Jim Belanger, who unseated Liberal Marc Serre.
The rest stuck with incumbents: Indigenous Services Minister Patty Hajdu was re-elected in Thunder Bay-Superior North - which she's represented since 2015 - fellow Liberals Marcus Powlowski and Viviane Lapointe held onto Thunder Bay-Rainy River and Sudbury, respectively, and Conservatives Eric Melillo and Scott Aitchison kept Kenora and Parry Sound-Muskoka, respectively.
