3 w. ago The Guardian view on Canada’s Liberal election: Carney’s triumph is a rebuff to Trump | Editorial

The US president’s territorial and economic threats have prompted voters to unite against his bellicosityCanada’s astounding election comeback by the Liberals will hearten many outside its borders as well as within. The governing party’s Lazarus moment was sparked by a man who was not on the ballot – though he took the chance to reiterate that the country should become the 51st US state, implying that voters could then elect him.By then it was already clear that Donald Trump’s threats had backfired. Monday’s result was a clear repudiation of his agenda. For two years, the Conservatives’ Pierre Poilievre looked like a dead cert as the next prime minister, assailing Justin Trudeau’s government on issues including the cost of living, housing and immigration. His party built a 25-point lead. But within four months, Mr Trudeau’s resignation, his warning that Mr Trump’s “51st state” remarks were no joke, and the imposition of swingeing US tariffs, transformed the contest. Mr Poilievre los...

3 w. 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...
