The Liberals were leading or elected in 167 electoral districts, known as seats, followed by the Conservatives with 145, with votes still being counted.
“Our old relationship with the United States, a relationship based on steadily increasing integration, is over,“ Carney said in a victory speech in Ottawa. “The system of open global trade anchored by the United States, a system that Canada has relied on since the Second World War, a system that, while not perfect, has helped deliver prosperity for our country for decades, is over.”
Carney said the coming months would be challenging and require sacrifices.
“It was the ‘anybody-but-Conservative’ factor, it was the Trump tariff factor, and then it was the Trudeau departure ... which enabled a lot of left-of-center voters and traditional Liberal voters to come back to the party,“ Kurl said, referring to the resignation of unpopular former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
Minority governments in Canada rarely last longer than 2-1/2 years.
The result capped a notable comeback for the Liberals, who had been 20 percentage points behind in the polls in January before Trudeau announced he was quitting and Trump started threatening tariffs and annexation.
WAVE OF PATRIOTISM
Trump re-emerged as a campaign factor last week, declaring that he might raise a 25% tariff on Canadian-made cars because the U.S. does not want them. He said earlier he might use “economic force” to make Canada the 51st state.
Trump, in a social media post on Monday, reiterated his call for Canada to become the 51st state.
Tensions with the U.S. have caused supporters of two smaller parties, the left-leaning New Democratic Party and the separatist Bloc Quebecois, to shift to the Liberals. NDP leader Jagmeet Singh conceded defeat in his own district and said he planned to quit as party leader.
“We didn’t quite get over the finish line yet,“ Poilievre told his supporters in Ottawa. “We know that change is needed, but change is hard to come by. It takes time.”
Poilievre focused his campaign on domestic issues and the need to fix a country that he said the Liberals had “broken.”
