What happened
Canada's Liberal Party has secured a surprise election victory, according to the national broadcaster CBC/Radio Canada, handing Prime Minister Mark Carney a full term in office and reversing months of polling dominance by the Conservative Party.

Carney, a former central banker who took office in March after Justin Trudeau stepped down, was widely seen as the "anti-Trump" candidate in a campaign dominated by US President Donald Trump's repeated attacks on Canada, including tariffs and threats to annex it as America's 51st state.

Who said what
"Four months ago it wasn't cool to be a Liberal supporter," said 20-year-old Luka Jovic, who works for the Liberals. Now, the party can claim "the biggest comeback of political history in this country". This is a "stunning political turnaround for the Liberals", agreed Jessica Murphy on the BBC, "though it's still unclear if they can secure a majority government".

Pierre Poilievre, the Conservative leader, had campaigned against what he called the Liberals' economic mismanagement, but appeared to lose support as Trump's rhetoric intensified. Carney, 60, had issued dark warnings about the US's intentions, saying "they want to break us so that they can own us".

What next?
Despite the victory, "the road ahead for Mr Carney and his new government will be hard", said The New York Times. "For starters, he will need to actually engage with Mr Trump" as well as showing that his economic policy credentials can "truly be put to use to improve Canada's slow economic growth and persistently high unemployment".

What happened
Resident doctors at the British Medical Association (BMA) have voted to condemn a Supreme Court ruling defining women by biological sex, calling it "scientifically illiterate" and "biologically nonsensical".

At a conference on Saturday, the doctors passed a motion criticising the court's decision, which clarified that under the Equality Act 2010 a woman is defined by biological characteristics. The doctors argue that a binary divide between sex and gender "has no basis in science or medicine" and is harmful to transgender and non-binary people.

Who said what
"This meeting condemns the Supreme Court ruling defining the term 'woman' based on 'biological sex' as reductive, trans and intersex-exclusionary, and biologically nonsensical," said the BMA resident doctors.

The stance "raises the prospect of the medical profession seeking to obstruct NHS plans to draw up new single-sex space guidance", said The Telegraph.

What next?
The motion reflects the position of the BMA’s resident doctors committee, but will not become official union policy until it is voted on at the wider BMA Annual Representative Meeting in June.
