Canada's Liberal Juggernaut
Briefly

Despite a bleak forecast for the Canadian Liberal Party just months ago, they achieved a surprising resurgence in the elections primarily due to shifting political dynamics influenced by Donald Trump. While initial polls favored the Conservatives by 25 points, Trump's abrasive politics rallied Canadians around the incumbent Liberals, resulting in a significant comeback. However, the success of the Liberal Party is also rooted in its political expertise and a strategic leftward shift that contrasts with the American Democratic Party's strategies, which have faced criticism from progressives.
The Conservatives' 25 percentage point lead in the polls has swiftly turned into a single-digit deficit as Mr. Trump has become the race's dominant issue.
Canadians rallied around the flag, which meant rallying around the incumbent Liberal government.
The Liberals' victory is not simply the product of American politics; it is also the result of the formidable political talent of the party.
Canadian leaders have spent their time moving the country substantially leftward in a way that contrasts with American Democrats.
