How did voter concerns regarding economic policy and political style influence the election outcome?

Fanjoy's win is attributed to a multi-pronged strategy: relentless door-knocking, leveraging national Liberal momentum, and capitalizing on voter concerns about potential economic impacts of US tariffs and government spending. Poilievre's perceived neglect of local issues in favor of national concerns, coupled with his aggressive style, alienated some previous Conservative voters. The high voter turnout (particularly in advance polls) and the diverse range of voters in the large Carleton riding played a role.

The federal NDP received its lowest popular vote and seat count since its 1961 founding, losing key ridings like Windsor West to the Conservatives. This marks a significant shift, particularly in Ontario where the NDP was shut out, and Saskatchewan, where the party's presence has dwindled since its peak in 1988.
