In the recent Canadian federal election, Mark Carney’s Liberal Party is projected to have won, surprising many as they were previously viewed as politically weakened. Carney leveraged anti-Trump sentiment, arguing that U.S. threats to Canadian sovereignty shaped the election’s key issues. His victory showcased a dramatic turnaround from earlier perceptions of the party’s decline. In contrast, despite gaining about 41% of the vote, the Conservative Party led by Pierre Poilievre fell short, leading to a renewal of internal questions about leadership. Additionally, left-wing parties, particularly the New Democrats (NDP), suffered significant losses, with leader Jagmeet Singh announcing his resignation after a dismal 5% of votes. Overall, the election underscored a shift toward the Liberals, attributed largely to concerns over U.S. relations.
