In a stunning political plot twist, Mark Carney’s Liberals clinched victory in the Canadian election just a month after his leadership takeover from Justin Trudeau.
Former Bank of England Governor Carney managed to outmaneuver Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre, despite initial predictions of a Liberal defeat.
Notably, US President Donald Trump’s criticisms of Canada seemingly fueled a nationalist backlash, turning the tide in the Liberals’ favor.
Carney has vowed to uphold Canadian sovereignty while planning to strengthen ties with European and other global partners, indicating a shift from traditionally close US relations.
