Federal Election 2025

Liberal candidate and former two-term Lethbridge mayor Chris Spearman fought a good fight in yesterday’s federal election, but Conservative candidate Rachael Thomas’ stronghold on southern Alberta continues for another four years.  

We are heading back to a Liberal government this morning with Prime Minister Mark Carney holding on to the title that fell to him following Justin Trudeau’s resignation.

Rachael Thomas has again received the nod from Lethbridge residents to be their representative in Ottawa. 

It is a blue wave across Southern Alberta with local Conservative candidates being elected to the House of Commons. 

The counting has been well underway in the rest of Canada east of the Pacific time zone.

Polling stations are officially open across the country for those who have not already voted in advance polls.

After a 37-day-long campaign, Canadians are heading to the polls Monday to cast their vote in the 45th federal election. 

Roughly 200,000 more Albertans cast their ballot during early voting during this election than the number of people who did during the 2021 election. 

What does it mean to vote and questions about national sovereignty are some of the questions canvassers of a non-partisan organization are hearing when they are out helping young voters make a plan to hit the polls.
