New Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney launched his election campaign against escalating tensions with the U.S., particularly the trade war instigated by President Trump. A five-week election campaign is set to culminate on April 28, where key seats in the House of Commons will be contested. Carney's stance centers on defending Canadian sovereignty, which he believes is threatened by Trump's rhetoric. With the governing Liberals previously facing defeat, they may gain traction due to a surge in nationalism sparked by these external pressures. The election is widely regarded as a critical moment in Canada’s political landscape.
"President Trump claims that Canada isn't a real country. He wants to break us so America can own us. We will not let that happen," Carney said.
"The next election will be one of the most consequential in our lifetimes," he posted on social media overnight.
