About this listen

In this episode: Toronto Star Ottawa deputy bureau chief Alex Ballingall and Ottawa bureau reporters Ryan Tumilty, Raisa Patel and Mark Ramzy. Hosted by Althia Raj.

Mark Carney will remain prime minister. On Monday, he led the Liberals to a fourth consecutive term. It was a close two-way race that saw the Liberals underperform their own expectations. The NDP lost official party status and their leader, Jagmeet Singh, announced his intention to resign. The Conservatives made gains in Ontario, with one big exception — their leader, Pierre Poilievre, lost his seat in Carleton.

Poilievre signalled on Monday that he had no plans to resign.

But can he stay on?

Toronto Star Ottawa bureau reporters join host Althia Raj to discuss the 2025 federal election campaign, Monday’s surprising result and what the next weeks and months may look like.

This episode of “It’s Political” was produced by Althia Raj and Kevin Sexton. This episode was also mixed by Kevin. Our theme music is by Isaac Joel.

Some of the audio clips this week were sourced from CPAC and CBC.
