Mark Carney's Liberal party has secured a victory in the 2025 Canadian election, although it's unclear if they will gain a majority. Carney, in his victory speech, stated that Canada is at a turning point and accused US President Donald Trump of trying to "break" Canada to own its land, resources, and water. He vowed to protect Canada and strengthen relationships with Europe and Asia. Carney emphasized the need for unity, humility, and ambition, and promised to work with all Canadians to advance the country. Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre conceded defeat and congratulated Carney, while also ruling out stepping down as Conservative leader. The election was influenced by Trump's intervention, with him urging Canadians to make their country the 51st state of the US.

Canada's Liberal Party is projected to win the federal election, despite a declining popularity in recent years. The election was heavily influenced by U.S. President Trump's threats to annex Canada and impose sweeping tariffs, which dominated the campaign and impacted voters' choices. The Liberals, led by Mark Carney, are expected to win more seats than the Conservatives, led by Pierre Poilievre, but it's unclear if they'll secure an outright majority. Trump's interventions, including a post on Truth Social urging Canadians to vote for a candidate who would support annexation, were widely criticized, with Poilievre telling Trump to stay out of Canada's election and Carney calling Trump's annexation threat "not a joke" and a "very strong desire".

Canada's Liberal Party, led by Prime Minister Mark Carney, has won the country's federal election, with projections indicating they will form a fourth consecutive government, likely as a minority.

Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre conceded defeat, saying Carney had won a "razor thin minority government." Carney, a former central banker, has promised to "build things in this country again" and make Canada less reliant on the US, while also deepening ties with other allies.

Canada's Liberal Party, led by Prime Minister Mark Carney, is projected to win the country's federal election for a fourth consecutive term, with 161 seats won in Parliament compared to the Conservative Party's 150. The election outcome was influenced by U.S. President Donald Trump's threats of annexation and tariffs on Canadian goods, which sparked a surge in nationalism and aided the Liberals. Trump's comments, including suggesting Canada become the 51st U.S. state, infuriated Canadians and helped the Liberals retain power. The party is expected to form a government, although it's unclear if they'll secure an outright majority. Canada faces challenges ahead, including U.S. tariffs on Canadian goods and a cost-of-living crisis, with over 75% of Canada's exports going to the U.S. Carney had promised to use counter-tariff revenue to support Canadian workers affected by the trade war.

Mark Carney's Liberal Party won the Canadian election in a remarkable comeback, fueled by Donald Trump's attacks on Canada's economy and sovereignty. Trump's actions, including suggesting Canada become the 51st US state and imposing tariffs, infuriated Canadians and stoked nationalism, helping the Liberals win a fourth straight term. Carney vowed to take a tougher approach with Washington and reduce Canada's reliance on the US, saying "America wants our land, our water, our resources... President Trump is trying to break us so that America can own us - that will never, ever happen." The Liberals are projected to win more seats than the Conservatives, but it's unclear if they'll have a majority.

Mark Carney is set to be elected as the Prime Minister of Canada after his Liberal Party won the election. He was previously the governor of the Bank of Canada and Bank of England, and became the leader of the Liberal Party in March 2025, replacing Justin Trudeau. Despite being a political novice with no previous election experience, Carney harnessed a growth in Canadian nationalism with his robust response to Donald Trump's antagonism, including tariffs on US goods and a strong stance against Trump's calls for Canada to become the 51st US state. Carney has moved the Liberal Party to the right, announcing a middle-class tax cut, scrapping the carbon tax, and reversing a capital gains tax increase, while remaining committed to combating climate change. Born in the Northwest Territories, Carney was educated at Harvard and Oxford universities and had a successful career in finance before becoming a central banker. He has been accused of plagiarizing parts of his Oxford thesis, which his team denied.

Canada's Liberal party, led by Mark Carney, has won a fourth term in a stunning comeback after being written off months ago. The party's victory is attributed to Donald Trump's threats to Canada, which boosted the Liberal campaign and led to a sharp shift in polls. The Liberals' win marks a remarkable recovery for a party that was on track for electoral devastation, and it is unclear if they will have a majority government. Carney, a former central banker and political novice, is set to face off against US President Donald Trump, who had threatened to annex Canada and belittled Carney's predecessor, Justin Trudeau.

Mark Carney's victory in Canada's election was largely due to circumstance and luck rather than meticulous planning. The Liberal party was in crisis with then PM Justin Trudeau's unpopularity, and a potential Conservative victory seemed certain. However, Trudeau's eventual departure was triggered by internal infighting and external factors, including Donald Trump's suggestion that the US should annex Canada. Carney, with his economist and banker background, became the right candidate for the moment, and his lack of a seat in parliament allowed him to call an immediate election, catching the Conservatives off guard. Timing and circumstance played a significant role in Carney's success, with many of his missteps during the campaign being overshadowed by the unusual circumstances of his candidacy.
