Ontario Premier Doug Ford has congratulated Liberal Leader Mark Carney on his projected election triumph.
“I want to congratulate Prime Minister Mark Carney on his election victory,” Ford said in a statement on Tuesday morning. “I also want to thank Pierre Poilievre, Jagmeet Singh and every candidate who put their name on a ballot for their service to our democracy.”Monday’s election shows Carney’s Liberals will form government, however, it is still unclear whether the Liberals will form a minority or majority government as some votes still need to be counted and a few ridings are too close to call.
