The Liberal Party, led by Mark Carney, secured victory in Canada's federal election. The campaign was heavily influenced by US President Donald Trump's aggressive trade policies and threats towards Canada.
Carney strongly denounced Trump's actions, stating that Canada would "never" yield to his threats. He emphasized the importance of Canadian sovereignty and self-reliance in the face of US pressure.
While the Liberals won, they may not have secured a majority, potentially requiring coalition partners to govern. Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre conceded defeat. The New Democratic Party (NDP) also faced setbacks, with their leader announcing his resignation.
Carney, a former central banker, brings extensive experience in navigating economic crises and international relations. His campaign focused on strengthening Canada's economy and reducing reliance on the US, while also seeking closer ties with more "reliable" allies in Europe.
Trump's tariffs on Canadian goods created significant economic challenges. Carney pledged to invest in domestic industries to enhance Canada's economic independence and resilience.
