Canadian PM Carney is on the verge of a majority government in a special election

TORONTO (AP) — Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney is on the verge of securing a majority government as special elections are held in three districts on Monday.

Votes are being cast in the Toronto-area districts of Scarborough Southwest and University-Rosedale, which are considered safe seats for Carney's Liberals, and in the Montreal-area district of Terrebonne, which is considered a toss-up.

In his campaign, Magyar pledged to end Hungary’s drift toward Russia and restore its ties with European allies. He promised voters that after 16 years of autocratic governance and the erosion of the rule of law under Orbán, he will root out... Read More
