Mark Carney remains Prime Minister when the Liberal Party defeated conservatives

The Canadian voters supported the liberal party of Prime Minister Mark Carney on Monday, the projects of the Canadian Broadcasting Corp., in a national election that was strongly influenced by President Donald Trump.

The CBC said it was too early to know whether the liberals would win enough seats to form a majority government, but it projected another term for the party that has ruled Canada for almost a decade.

A few months ago, the opposition conservatives in public frustration with increasing inflation, the increasing immigration and the approach of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to Trump, then the elected president, seemed to be displaced.

Trudeau announced his resignation on January 6, two weeks before Trump was inaugurated as President in the United States after the surveys showed that he had to struggle with Canadian voters.

However, since he returned to office, Trump has annoyed the Canadians with his behavior towards one of the closest allies in his country. His guidelines and rhetoric inlays the inclusion of steep tariffs for Canadian imports and the promotion of a quixotic plan to make Canada the 51st US state became a central problem in the Canadian elections and helped the liberals, a remarkable turn to close an almost 20-point gap with the conservatives.

The liberals were also strengthened by a candidate, Carney, who may be uniquely positioned to react to Trump, and the global economic uncertainty that his tariffs created. He became prime minister last month after he had been elected leader of the Liberal Party, and then quickly described a snap choice in the hope of securing a full term.

Carney, 60, is a former central banker who has to do with economic crises and, after the global financial crisis in 2008 and the Bank of England, led the Bank of Canada during the Brexit process.

He advertised this experience during the campaign, which lasted 37 days.

“Mark offers the proven leadership and the real plan that we need to present changes for our party and our country and build up the strongest economy in the G7,” said his campaign and referred to the group of 7 nations.

Carney's opponent, conservative leader Pierre Poilievre, had had a rising trajectory until the beginning of this year, with his “Trump light” style being hugged by the populist wing of his party. However, when Canadian anger grew, his similarities to work against him against him.

Poilievre set out on employment opportunities and promise that Gen Z voters could afford living space, which the liberal government used public fatigue. On a rally Sunday, the CBC quoted him as “the Trudeau government” the lost liberal decade of increasing crime, chaos, drugs and the disorder “.

Trump continued Canada on Monday when the voters went to the surveys and said again that it should be the “estimated” 51st US state of US state.

“All positive without negative. It should be!” He said his truth on his social platform.

Both Carney and Poilievre blam Trump about such comments and others that he made about the Canadian elections.

“You can be shared and weak,” said Carney on Monday in a video on social media and spoke of the United States. “But that's Canada. And we decide what happens here.”

Poilievre wrote on Monday on X: “President Trump, stayed out of our choice.”

“The only people who will decide the future of Canada are Canadians in the ballot box,” he wrote. “Canada will always be proud, confident and independent and we will never be the 51st state.”

A voter said he chose liberal because Poilievre “sounds like Mini-Trump” for me. Reid Warren from Toronto informed The Associated Press that tariffs were also a problem.

“Canadians who come from the states are great, but it is definitely a little turmoil, which is safe,” said Warren.
