As Canada heads into the final days before the 2025 federal election, the campaign is marked by intense competition, strategic leaks, and internal party tensions. Polls suggest the Liberals, led by Mark Carney, are on the verge of a majority, while Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre faces unexpected challenges, including the risk of losing his own seat. The campaign has also seen progressive voters grappling with how to influence Parliament, and the Greens pushing for attention to climate issues despite limited prospects. Meanwhile, high-profile rifts within the Conservative party and rumors involving U.S. President Trump have added drama to the race. Canadians can expect preliminary results on election night, with official validation occurring within a week.

It’s wild how close this election is, and honestly, it feels like a lot is on the line for progressives this time. I really hope people don’t split the progressive vote too much, because we can’t risk sliding backwards on climate action or social justice. The Greens are right to keep pushing climate, but the big parties need to actually listen and not just pay lip service. Fingers crossed that all the chaos on the right means more space for real progressive change in Parliament after all this drama!

Looks like the Liberals might actually pull off a majority this time—fingers crossed we get some real progress on climate and healthcare if they do!

As campaign ends progressive voters agonize over how to get the Parliament they want
The Green candidate, Amanda Rosenstock, candidly made a pitch for peoples’ votes in order to keep some focus on climate change and other environmental issues – even while tacitly admitting there was scant chance of the Greens electing more than two or three candidates.

Poilievre’s unwillingness to change has Carney’s Liberals on brink of majority
In a stunning twist, some polling suggests Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre himself could be at risk of losing his seat in Carleton — a once-safe riding on the outskirts of Ottawa where the Liberal ground game has reportedly gone into overdrive.
