The public broadcaster CBC and other outlets projected the Liberals would form Canada’s next government, but it was not yet clear if they would hold a majority in parliament.
Trump’s trade war and threats to annex Canada, which he renewed in an election day social media post, outraged Canadians and made dealing with the United States a top campaign issue.
He previously served as central bank governor in both Britain and Canada and persuaded voters his global financial experience has prepared him to guide Canada through a trade war.
Carney’s descriptions of the Trump threat have been stark.
“They want our resources, they want our water, they want our land, they want our country. They can’t have it.”
“I’m happy in the sense that we’ve got somebody that can speak to Mr. Trump on his level,“ said Dorothy Goubault, 72. “Mr. Trump is a business person. Mr. Carney is a business person, and I think they can both relate.”
Goubault said she expects that mockery to stop.
Liberal lawmaker and a member of Carney’s cabinet, Steven Guilbeault, tied the outcome to Trump.
Trudeau’s departure
On January 6, the day Trudeau announced he would resign, the Conservatives led the Liberals by more than 20 points in most polls, as voter anger over soaring coasts mounted after Trudeau’s decade in power.
Carney, 60, distanced himself from Trudeau throughout the campaign.
For Poilievre, a 45-year-old who has been in parliament for two decades, the outcome marks a stinging defeat.
He tried to persuade voters that Carney would simply offer a continuation of the failed Liberal governance, an argument that fell short.
“I was hoping to have a big celebration tonight,“ Piche said.
Results were still pending on the shape of Canada’s 343 members of parliament, with 172 seats needed for a majority. The Liberals won a majority in 2015 but have governed with a minority since 2019.
