The Next Morning: A recap of the 2025 Canadian Election
In this special post-election episode of inFocus with David Coletto, David breaks down the surprising results of Canada’s 45th general election. Just three months after entering politics, Mark Carney has led the Liberals to a fourth consecutive mandate—this time as a minority government—defeating Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives in a much tighter race than expected.
David reflects on how the campaign was shaped by two competing ballot questions—change vs. Trump—and explains why voters ultimately chose stability over disruption. He offers behind-the-scenes insights from Abacus Data’s tracking, final polling, and what we got right (and where we’ll be looking to improve). Plus, he previews what’s next, including a major post-election survey launching this week and an upcoming event at the Empire Club in Toronto.
If you want to understand what happened, why it happened, and what it means for Canada’s political future—this is the episode for you.
