Canada elections snack: What comes next for Mark Carney and the liberals

Prime Minister Mark Carney led his liberal party to a close victory in Canada's crucial elections on Monday and secured a fourth term for the party and another mandate in order to fight President Trump's trade and sovereignty of the nation.

Mr. Carney, a former central banker who ran for an office for the first time, scored a combative tone opposite the United States during his AnnahmereDe in the early morning hours of Tuesday at a liberal party event in Ottawa.

It was unclear whether the liberals would win a majority of the seats in the next House of Commons, which would make Mr. Carney possible to rule relatively unhindered, or whether his government would have to rely on smaller parties to support his legislative agenda.

Mr. Carney did not meet Mr. Trump in the past month since he became a liberal party leader and prime minister. But he made Mr. Trump's threatening comments about Canada about the 51st state and the tariffs that he imposed Canadian goods to the center of his campaign.

The two men recorded a professional call before the election, although Mr. Carney said during the campaign that Mr. Trump mentioned the 51st state threat during this conversation.

Mr. Carney said that he will be retained by Canada's retaliation tariffs against the United States. But he warned that the expansion of the Canadians would cause more damage than they would put Americans under pressure.
