Prime Minister Mark Carney's Liberal party has won the Canadian federal election, securing leadership in key districts but failing to achieve the majority needed for a stronger mandate. This election, called shortly after Carney took office, occurred amidst the party's previous drop in popularity and factors such as trade tensions with the U.S., driven by President Trump's rhetoric. With a record voter turnout amidst a cost-of-living crisis, the results could influence future trade dealings, particularly with U.S. tariffs looming over Canadian exports.
Prime Minister Mark Carney's Liberal party won Canada's federal election, clinching significant districts but falling short of a majority, impacting trade negotiations with the U.S.
Carney, elected just days before, called a snap election to secure a strong mandate amidst the Liberal party's prior unpopularity following Trudeau's departure.
The prolific voting turnout in the snap election reflects public engagement amid pressing issues such as trade tensions with the U.S. and a national cost-of-living crisis.
Trump's provocative comments about Canada becoming the U.S.' 51st state unlocked a surge of support for Carney, highlighting the intersection of domestic politics and international relations.
