Putin announces 72-hour Victory Day ceasefire
Canadian Election
"To the surprise of nobody (aside from a few excited folks about three hours ago), Canada's
liberal party has won Monday's national elections - with voters electing Mark Carney to a full term as the next Prime Minister according to national broadcaster CBC/Radio Canada.
According to CTV, Carney's liberals have won a minority (vs. majority).
As of 10:51 p.m EDT, the Liberals had won or were leading in 161 out of 343 ridings. Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives are set to remain in opposition, with 137 ridings so far. Parties need 172 seats to form a majority.
After some momentary excitement based on a reported 'larger than expected' turnout at Canadian polls, betting market odds for conservative candidate Pierre Poilievre have fallen back to the low 20% range. " ZH
