Mark Carney’s Liberals win pivotal Canadian election
Mark Carney has won Canada’s election after a campaign dominated by the country’s relationship with the US under Donald Trump.
Carney’s Liberal party was on track to win the largest number of seats and the right to form a government. But it was still unclear whether it would be able to secure a parliamentary majority as counting continued.
The Liberals capitalised on a patriotic surge in the face of Trump’s tariffs on Canada and taunts about it becoming the US’s “51st state”, as Carney made defiance of Trump a campaign theme.
