Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney now has a majority government. Dan Carpenter reports that Carney's liberal party came in after three special elections Monday, two of them in Ontario and one in Quebec.

The vote in Tirabon, Quebec, was hotly contested between the liberals and the separatist block Quebecwa. It was won by the liberals a year ago, but by only one vote.
