Canada election 2025 live updates: Mark Carney wins on the anti-trump platform

Prime Minister Mark Carney from Canada won a new term on Monday evening that projected national channels CBC/Radio Canada, a remarkable turnaround for his liberal party, which was largely owed to President Trump's aggressive attitude towards the country.

After midnight Eastern Time was still unclear whether the liberal party had to form the majority of the seats in the lower house or a minority government. Preliminary results are likely to be available on Tuesday overnight. A minority government would request support from other parties to adopt laws and would be weaker and less stable than a majority.

However, the decision of the voters sealed a breathtaking reversal for the liberal party, which seemed almost certainly a few months ago, except for the conservative party, led by career politician Pierre Poilievre. Mr. Carney has been Prime Minister since March when Prime Minister Justin Trudeau resigned.

The choice was remarkable in many ways, with candidates and many voters described them as the most important coordination in their lives.

It was dominated by Mr. Trump and his relentless focus on Canada, America's closest ally and trading partner. Mr. Trump has imposed Canadian goods tariffs, pushed them in the direction of a recession and repeatedly threatened to annex them as the 51st state. Even when the Canadians went to the surveys on Monday morning, he repeated this wish and argued on social media that this would bring economic and military advantages.

Mr. Carney, 60, an experienced economist and political decision-maker who promoted himself as an anti-trump candidate and centered his campaign on dealing with the United States ultimately benefited from the actions of the American president.

Mr. Poilievre, 45, and the conservatives had dominated surveys for years and built a platform against the liberals and Mr. Trudeau about the argument that they had drawn Canada into a longer economic discomfort.

But they watched their double -digit leadership after Mr. Trump's aggressiveness towards Canada and Mr. Trudeau's resignation quickly.

The Canadians, who went to the surveys, were busy with the relationship between the country to his neighbor in the south and the condition of the economy. Annoyance, primarily through housing buildings, were first -class, opinion polls that were carried out before the elections.

But Canada's choice on Monday was also a kind of referendum against Mr. Trump and the way he treated America's allies and treated his trading partners.

It is the second important international election since Mr. Trump to Germany, and Canada's dealings with the break in the relationship with the United States have been closely observed worldwide.

The choice also emphasized that Mr. Trump's brand of conservative policy can be poisonous elsewhere if they are considered too unanimous with his ideological and rhetorical style. Mr. Poilievre, who scolded “Radical Woke ideology”, promised to remove Canada's national broadcasting organizers, and said that he would shorten foreign help, the centric voters seemed lost, which had been provided before the elections.

For Mr. Carney, the victory on Monday was an astonishing moment in his rapid increase in Canadian political establishment since entering the race around Mr. Trudeau in January.

As a political beginner, but political veteran, Carney conveyed a measured, serious tone and despite Mr. Trump's aggressive overtures and helped to influence voters who thought to support the conservatives, according to surveys and some individual voters. And after a decade of the progressive agenda of Mr. Trudeaus, his politics as a pragmatist and centerist seemed better to agree with Canada's mood.

On Monday there was sufficient evidence that the personality and background of Mr. Carney had strengthened the liberals. It is an economist of Harvard and Oxford training that worked during the global financial crisis in 2008 and the Bank of England during the Brexit governor of the Bank of Canada. He later served in corporate committees and became a leading voice for climate sulder.

Mr. Poilievre and other critics tried Mr. Carney as an elite outside of the hit, who had spent a large part of his adult life outside of Canada and knew little about the country or its people.

They also attacked Mr. Carney because of his experience in China, who interfered in the elections of Canada, and some of his political suggestions, which they said, would be able to burden Canada's public finances and make it difficult for the country's economy.

Despite the victory on Monday, the street will be difficult for Mr. Carney and his new government. For the beginning, he has to deal with Mr. Trump and his unpredictable attitude towards Canada and discuss the difficult topics, including trade and security.

And he has to show the voters that his economic policy references can really be used in order to improve the slow economic growth of Canada and a persistently high unemployment.
