They also note that opposition parties face pressure to refresh their leaders and messages before the next national vote.
Regional Asian outlets focus on how Carney’s majority could speed up Canadian energy and trade initiatives.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has secured a majority government after his Liberal Party swept special elections and confirmed new defectors in the House of Commons. The new majority lets the Liberals pass budgets and key laws without relying on opposition parties, opening the way for moves on energy exports, trade deals, defence spending and climate policy. Opposition parties, including the Conservatives and New Democrats, are now reassessing their leadership and tactics ahead of the next general election.
