Canada, Carney wins general election - Leads Liberal Party to fourth consecutive victory
Early results from Canada's general election showed Prime Minister Mark Carney will form a new government. His Liberal Party managed to turn the country's political fortunes around after a dismal end to Justin Trudeau's government.
Canadian television has predicted that Carney will remain in his post, achieving a dramatic victory after he inherited a party at a double-digit disadvantage in the polls to the opposition Conservative Party, as former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's popularity took a hit.
The Liberal Party is projected to surpass its Conservative rival in the House of Representatives with 343 seats in Parliament. What remains unclear is whether Carney, a seasoned economist turned politician, will form a majority or minority government. A party needs to win 172 seats in the House of Representatives to have a majority.
As things stand, Canadian media predict Carney's party will secure 161 seats. Pierre Poilievre's Conservatives are not far behind and are projected to win 150 seats. The election also marks a deep defeat for Canada's Conservatives, who under Poilievre had been expected to return to power until a diplomatic and trade crisis sparked by Donald Trump's victory damaged the populist swing to the right.
Trudeau's popularity had waned in recent years. A wave of by-election losses and high-profile cabinet resignations ultimately forced him to announce his resignation in January of this year, two weeks before Trump was sworn in for his second term.
However, Trudeau responded to Trump's strong threats against Canada early in his presidency with tough, patriotic rhetoric that immediately regained the support he had lost.
Carney, a former governor of the Bank of Canada and the Bank of England, scored a landslide victory in the race to succeed Trudeau as Liberal leader.
Since taking office in late January, Trump has made Canada his target. He and other figures in his administration have begun touting the neighboring country as a potential 51st U.S. state and have referred to Carney's predecessor as "Governor Trudeau."
Trump has also threatened to impose aggressive tariffs on various Canadian goods entering the U.S. Some of these tariffs have been approved, while others have been suspended or withdrawn shortly before they were due to take effect.
