2 h. ago Triumph for Carney: what happened in Canada’s election, and what will it mean?

Leader of Liberals, who appear to have made a remarkable turnaround, has said old relationship with the US is overCanada election live – latest updatesAt the beginning of the year, Canada’s Conservatives had a 25-point lead over the Liberal government, and their leader, Pierre Poilievre, looked certain to be the country’s next prime minister. But as the votes cast in Monday’s election have been counted, the story of the campaign has been confirmed: victory for the Liberals and their new leader, Mark Carney, who have extended their decade of rule by as much as another five years.With almost all polls counted, it appears likely that the Liberals will fall just short of a majority, and instead be the leading party in a minority government, as in the last two elections. Regardless, it represents a remarkable turnaround, and vindication for Carney’s efforts to present himself as the prime ministerial candidate who would most effectively stand up to Donald Trump. As for Poilievre: the CBC...

6 h. ago Trump’s chaotic threats won Mark Carney the Canadian election – but only just | Colin Horgan

This was a vote against delusions of a ‘51st state’ and economic warfare, rather than an endorsement of the Liberals’ policiesYesterday, as Canadians went to the polls, US president Donald Trump suggested that if Canada became part of America, they could vote for him instead. But in truth, Canada becoming the 51st state wasn’t a prerequisite for Canadians to vote on Trump. It was Trump who set the stakes of this election anyway, beginning almost as soon as he took office. His threats against Canada, both economic and existential, were the backdrop of this campaign. An unexpected crisis on our doorstep.And now, the Liberal party, led by Mark Carney, has won a fourth term in office, a result that would have seemed unthinkable just a few months ago, before Trump’s unprecedented intervention.Colin Horgan is a Toronto-based writer and a former speechwriter for Justin Trudeau Continue reading...
