Bitcoin-friendly Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre will no longer be a Member of Parliament after losing his seat in an election which saw Mark Carney’s Liberal Party secure enough seats to form at least a minority government.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Data from Elections Canada, reported by the CBC, shows Poilievre lost his Ottawa-area seat<\/a> to Liberal Brunce Fanjoy on Monday night after a 5-week election cycle triggered by Carney, the current Prime Minister, last month. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\"Results<\/p>\n

Overall, the Liberal party took approximately 162 seats<\/a> as of 12:00 a.m. Eastern Time, which is enough to form a minority government. <\/p>\n

This is fewer than recent polls forecast, which projected<\/a> that a Carney-led Liberal party<\/a> would hit majority government territory \u2014 172 seats \u2014 given the threats U.S. President Donald Trump made to the country’s sovereignty<\/a> and the punitive tariffs the White House was directing northward. <\/p>\n

However, CBC News noted as of midnight that votes were still coming in and it is not yet clear if the Liberals will win enough seats to form that majority government. <\/p>\n

If present results stand under the U.K.-inspired Westminster system under which Canada operates, the Liberals would need the support of another opposition party, such as separatist-minded Bloc Quebecois, or the left-leaning New Democrat Party to pass bills in the House of Commons.<\/p>\n

A Conservative-led non-confidence motion<\/a>, should it have the support of another party, would be sufficient to trigger another election \u2014 though its far too early for this to be considered.<\/p>\n

Unlike the United States, where crypto played an important role<\/a> in moving the needle<\/a> on winning Congressional races, and helping put Trump back in the White House, it seemed to be a muted affair in Canada.<\/p>\n

While both Carney and Poilievre have discussed crypto in the past, the issue didn’t come up<\/a> for either campaigns even though it was an important issue<\/a> for many Conservative Members of Parliament.<\/p>\n

On Polymarket, a contract asking bettors to predict the next Prime Minister of Canada<\/a> crossed the $100 million mark (in U.S. dollars) in volume, and a dozen other election related questions had close to another $100 million in volume collectively.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
