Canada's Liberal Party wins election shadowed by Trump's annexation threats and sweeping tariffs, Canadian media projects - CBS News

Canada's Liberal Party won the federal election, projected by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, in a surprising turnaround influenced by U.S. President Trump's annexation threats and tariffs. The election was dominated by issues such as sovereignty, tariffs, affordability, immigration, jobs, and crime. The Liberal Party, led by Mark Carney, is expected to win more seats than the Conservatives, led by Pierre Poilievre, but it is unclear if they will secure an outright majority. Trump's interventions, including a Truth Social post on election day calling for Canadians to vote for a candidate who could make Canada the 51st U.S. state, backfired and potentially cost the Conservatives votes.
