Prime Minister Mark Carney’s Liberal Party has won Canada’s federal election, marking a dramatic political turnaround fueled by tensions with U.S. President Donald Trump and his trade war threats.
The victory secures the Liberals a fourth consecutive term, although it remains unclear whether they will achieve an outright majority or need to rely on smaller parties to form a governing coalition.
The election results saw the Liberals projected to win more seats in Parliament than the Conservative Party, though the final outcome depends on the distribution of votes. In a race that was initially expected to be a major defeat for the Liberals, the political landscape shifted dramatically as Trump’s rhetoric—threatening Canada’s sovereignty and suggesting the country might become the 51st U.S. state—spurred a surge in Canadian nationalism and rallied support for Carney’s party.
“We were dead and buried in December. Now we are going to form a government,” said David Lametti, a former Liberal Justice Minister, reflecting the party's unexpected resurgence. “We have turned this around thanks to Mark,” he added.
Meanwhile, Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre had hoped to turn the election into a referendum on former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s legacy, with rising food and housing costs contributing to his declining popularity. However, the latest developments in U.S.-Canada relations, particularly Trump’s attacks on Canada’s economy, proved to be a catalyst for the Liberals' victory.
The election results will shape the next phase of Canada's relationship with the U.S. and could influence future domestic and foreign policy decisions.
