Trump news:Carney’s Liberal party wins Canadian election and completes a stunning turnaround fueled by Trump

When the polls closed, the Liberals were shown to win a majority of Parliament’s 343 seats over the Conservative Party, although it wasn’t yet clear whether they’d win a direct majority — a minimum of 172 — or would have to depend on the support of one or more smaller parties to win a government and pass laws.

The Liberals appeared destined for a decisive defeat until the American president began attacking Canada’s economy and sovereignty, suggesting that it should be the 51st state. Trump’s behavior outraged Canadians and fueled a nationalism that assisted the Liberals in turning the election story around and winning a fourth-consecutive term in office.

“We were dead and buried in December. Now we are going to form a government,” David Lametti, a former Liberal Justice Minister, told broadcaster CTV.

“We have turned this around thanks to Mark,” he said.

The Conservative Party’s leader, Pierre Poilievre, hoped to make the election a referendum on former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, whose popularity declined toward the end of his decade in power as food and housing prices rose.

But Trump struck, Trudeau stepped down and Carney, a twice-central banker, took over as the leader of the Liberal Party and prime minister.

Despite Canadians struggling with the consequences of a fatal weekend violence at a Vancouver street festival, Trump news was taunting them on election day, suggesting on social media that he was on their ballot and again asserting that Canada should be the 51st state. He also wrongly suggested that the U.S. subsidizes Canada, tweeting, “It makes no sense unless Canada is a State!”

Trump’s rudeness has outraged many Canadians, causing many to cancel vacations in the U.S., refuse to purchase American products and perhaps even vote ahead of time. A record 7.3 million Canadians voted before election day.

“The Americans want to break us so they can own us,” Carney said leading up to election day. “Those aren’t just words. That’s what’s at risk.”

As he and his wife voted in their Ottawa riding on Monday, Poilievre urged voters to “Get out to vote — for a change.” Having campaigned Trump-lite for weeks, however, his parallels to the bombastic U.S. leader may have come at a price.

Reid Warren, of Toronto, said he voted Liberal because Poilievre “sounds like mini-Trump to me.” And he said Trump’s tariffs are a concern.

“Canadians uniting from, you know, all the shade being cast from the States is wonderful, but it’s certainly caused some chaos, that’s for certain,” he said.

Historian Robert Bothwell said Poilievre was resorting to the “same sense of grievance” as Trump, but that it paid a price with voters.

“The Liberals should pay him,” Bothwell added, addressing the U.S. president. “Trump news speak is not good for the Conservatives.

Carney and the Liberals have overcome a significant hurdle by gaining a fourth consecutive term, but they have mountainous tasks before them.

If they fail to win a majority in Parliament, the Liberals may have to depend on the third party, the Bloc Québécois, to stay in power and enact legislation. The Bloc is a separatist party from the French-speaking province of Quebec who want independence from Canada. Trudeau’s Liberals depended on the New Democrats to stay in power for four years, the progressive party lost seats in this election.

Foreign policy hadn’t controlled a Canadian election as it did this year’s since 1988, when ironically enough, free trade with the United States was the overriding issue.

Apart from the trade conflict with the U.S. and cold relations with Trump, Canada has a cost-of-living crisis. And over 75% of its exports end up in the U.S., so Trump’s threat of tariffs and wanting to persuade North American automakers to shift Canada’s production south could do a lot of harm to the Canadian economy.

During his campaign, Carney promised that all the money the government raises through counter-tariffs on U.S. exports will be spent on Canadian workers hurt by the trade war. He also stated he will maintain dental care, provide a tax break for the middle class, bring immigration back to sustainable levels and boost funding to Canada’s public broadcaster, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.

Carney’s Liberals projected to win Canadian election

Welcome to Ottawa, the nation’s capital not far from here. There are celebrations in the headquarters of the Liberal PartyLiberal Party supporters and officials gathering to celebrate an extraordinary political upset in what has been seen as one of the most consequential elections in Canadian history.

The Liberal Party is now set to form the next government that all of the votes are not counted. It’s still not clear whether they will be able to form a majority government or we’ll need to work with other parties to form the next government but the victory is clear canadian.

media have for the last hour been projecting that it will be a Liberal Partyvictory so it’s an upset for theConservatives of Pierre Piev which was the closest uh contestant for against the Liberal Party only months ago Pierre’s conservatives had had a double-digit lead in Canadian inCanadian polling but after.

President Donald Trump news returned to the White House In January and started leveling tariffs against Canada as he’s doing against many countries around the world but also started threatening to try to turnCanada into the 51st state it led to a change in political fortunes.

the Liberal Party prime Minister JustinTrudeau stepped down and Mark Carneytook over this is the scene live now at LiberalParty headquarters here in the nation’s capital they’ll be waiting for the final results to come in 172 is the magic number for a majority government you see them waving waving.

The banners there are “Canada strong” is the slogan of the party theLiberal Party of Canada. With me here is the Canadian political commentator journalist Paul Bell you’ve covered many many elections. 

How does this one compare to an extraordinary one even though during the election?

for a period which is about 5 weeks long the polls were really quite stable. Liberals uh inthe lead the Conservatives pretty close behind the other parties not factors but crazy things happened just before the campaign began with the prime minister Justin Trudeau quitting suddenly just after the new year.

a very quick leadership race in the Liberal Party Which had already been told by the opposition parties that it would be defeated in the House of Commons if it dared to meet the House of Commons uhand.

then a new prime minister MarkCarney selected overwhelmingly by theLiberal Party and then calling an election only nine days later um MarkCarney is a completely untested as apolitical talent uh but a plurality of voters seem to have decided they prefer him to Pierre Paulv who is um uh talented uh energetic but kind of abrasive conservative leader and em it’s Paulv blew what looked like a sure shot at beating.

John Sudworth to join us we’ll also go to Neta Talfiki who is our correspondent who is at the ConservativeParty headquarters but let’s take a closer look at what is happening inWesternCanada with we’re we’re going to go to join Jason Mars who works for CBC.

in Calgary the capital of Alberta the rich province of Alberta Jason welcome to BBCNews how are the numbers looking there it’s like something we didn’t expect u like like Paul was saying u just four months ago uh we would have expected a blue sweep uh this is a very.

conservative province this is the oil producing province um it you know itihas in the past gone either entirely conservative or uh one or two or three seats uh going uh going to the other progressive parties uh it seems like there are going to be some cracks in theConservatives blue wall i’m in Calgary The largest city in Alberta.

and as of right now it’s still early the polls have only closed a minute and a an hour and a half ago and the Liberals are winning in two seats uh they have never won more than two seats as this would be their high water mark uh in the entire history of Alberta more than uh 20 years uh so this would be quite the reversal of fortune um but this will be a disappointment.

for a lot of people herein Alberta and a lot of the West i’m the conservatives seem like the home base team uh I mean Calgary that is PierrePolyv’s uh the conservative leaders hometown uh he just came back for a rally on Friday a few days before the election closed uh to talk to people about.

how important this election wasand how good uh his party would be for the oil patch uh Justin Trudeau the former prime minister the Liberal leader was deeply unpopular here there were epithets with his name on them all over Alberta uh people really furious with him they’ve softened their opinion of.

Mark Carney he seems like people likehim uh a fair bit more not much more because the Conservatives are many more seats uh in the West Butuh the Liberastillwinning ls seem to be doing well enough here to uh hold their uh at least their minority government we will see if it’s a majority government and they have that four years of stability so two seats so far and of course.

all the votes as you say haven’t been counted. How do you explain that Jason is it because of theTrump news threat because we heard reports including from the premier of the province who seemed to want to take a different approach with.

President Trump than that taken by MarkCarney and quite frankly with Pierre PVas welland the Conservative party did not seem to like what huh what Alberta’s premierDanielle Smith uh said she was on a right-wing podcast uh down in the stateson.

the Breitbart News podcast talking about how uh she gave her advice that she’s been down to the states a fair bit trying to be the Trump whisperer as it were the mega whisperer uh oh uh Canadauh talking to them urging them she said uh lay low on tariffs until.

the next election in hopes that Conservativeswould win because she’d been realizing that uh and as everybody has that us theTrump 51st state threat has been very good for the Liberals and really turned the fortunes for the conservatives shealso uh told those uh that right-wing audience.

That she believed thatPierre Paul the concerned leader was nsync on a lot of policies with uh withTrump uh that did not go over well here she had been invited to rallies by uhDanielle Smith by Pierre Paul before but not during this election.

He kept well and quiet of her and she kept quiet herself so as not to cause him any more damage while you have uh while you’re with usJason I must ask you about some of thewarnings uh from prominent us political leaders in.

the West including PrestonManning saying that if theLiberals do get a fourth term thatCanadian unity the future of Canada Would be on the agenda. How serious is that warning this will be something to watch over the coming months and we’ve had.

this before in 2019 uh 6 years ago uh when the uhLiberals won a very narrow minority government but they were shut out of the western provinces of Alberta andSaskatchewan uh there was this movement.

called Exit uh upon the Brexitof course western exit uh it didn’t go very far there weren’t many organized leaders within that movement uh this time seems different uh the question is will it be different enough uh polls show that maybe 25 up to as high as 30%of people in Alberta.

espouse separatist views that they want to be out of Canada uh whether it be as the51st state joined us or just go on its own as a wealthy oil producing province we’ll see if there’s any energy and also see what uh.

the premierDanielle Smith who has uh some political ties with some of these people espousing separatist views and we’ll also see what will be important is whether the liberals can make gains in uh Albert.

andSaskatchewan they seem to be picking up at least one seat in Saskatchewan uhsmaller province but let’s see what they can do in Alberta because the more liberal or non conservative seats there are in Alberta the larger argument that might be that uh some people really.

doare excited in fact by a carne government when do you expect Jason will get the full numbers uh from not just Alberta From but from the western coast and of course there’s British Columbia too toto still to show its numbers.

they’ve begun to count in British Columbia all the polls are closed across Canada ithink they’ve been closed for an hour uhnow uh it it will be take time uh some of these writings seem like they’re pretty close uh and there was a very large advanced vote uh could be up to half of votes.

um some of the party insiders are telling us uh could be counted uh would have been cast before election day and that’s going to take much longer to uh count uh a lot of polling uh indication that we’ve seen in the past uh examples have shown that those numbers skew liberal 

the Liberals hopes could be in late at night as they count those advanced votes to put them over the uh critical172 uh seat threshold that they are not yet jason Marusov from CBC we’ll let you get back to looking at those numbers coming in but thank you very much for your interesting observations reporting from Calgary in Alberta.

really a province to watch going forward withmany of the natural resources that fuels this country’s economy and with a very different political perspective on what’s happening now and what’s to come with the government now certain to be dominated by.

the Liberal Party but just by how much we just don’t know let’s cross to another critical province which has a very distinct culture and outlook the province of Quebec we’re joined byYanik Dumo Baron from Radio Canada yanik thank you for joining.

Us just give us your sense of what’s happening there in terms of the returns well if you look at the Liberals They got some of their gains in Quebec Right they maybe nine 10 seats uh they gained those from Block Quebec a party that mainly is there to promote sovereignty.

and independence of Quebec So it it’s an interesting dynamic here for sure but if you look at the number of votes the the percentage there you see that the gains the blackware is still there it still has some support but it’s the NDP that seems to be totally.

collapsing in Quebec i’ve seen numbers like 3% of votes it’s very low so they’ve lost they’ve lost people there as well um interesting le because it’s a regional party it brings candidates only in Quebec it’s its main goal 25 years ago in the 90s when it was created,

was independence help independence be therein the capital of the country to make sure that Quebec could leave that country uh but since then independence hasn’t really been on the agenda as much since that referendum in 1995.

so that that party is still there they represent issues they bring specific issues to Ottawa that are specific toQuebec but uh some people have said we’re going to vote with our head this time and not with our heart uh meaning that there’s an emergency here there’s this threat from the south from DonaldTrump economic threat when.

Donald Trump enforces policies with migrants some of those migrants shows up at our border at Quebec’s border so they they’ve seenI think what I’ve heard and what people who normally would vote block told me is that this time around there’s an emergency there’s a threat,

it’s it’s Donald Trump and that’s why they would change it’s sort of a strategy strategic voting if you wish let’s get a bit more detail from you on this as you say this emergency you mentioned the border that there has been not just since Trump news came to power but even before the many of the the immigrant communities who’ve.

crossed into the United States Coming into Canada across what of course is one of the what is the longest undefended border in the world tell us about how how that has played in Quebec well well it’s also interesting because it.

ties back to Donald Trumpin his first mandate at that time then in 2017 2018 he removed some protection for uh people from 80 among others who were living in New York in Florida their their idea their their reflex was then to to go to up north in NewYork State where they would cross between two border crossings and it became.

a big wave sort of an illegal and irregular way of coming into Canada that flooded the province all those organ organizations that are normally there to help immigrants and newcomers were flooded by this so it became in Canada and in Quebec Some sort of an issue.

in a political football there so that that’s one thing that really affected Quebec um Canada as a whole and that ties to uh who was the prime minister in Canada before welcomed a lot of migrants some of them a lot of them temporarily like students and workers for who would come and work for a few years and maybe decide to stay afterwards so at two waves of migrants right.

those seeking asylum and then those coming here to work and live that has changed the landscape. I think that contributed to why Justin Trudeauand the Liberals were not really popular in Quebec and in Canada 6 months ago when Donald Trump got elected JustinTrudeau resigned Mark Carney came around and all.

Those big fortunes for pap just disappeared and it’s been interesting in the election how much attention has been paid and of course this has to be the case in Canada with two official languages is just how well Mark Carney spoke French and it seems it was often said that people in Quebec Where.

Language is a very hot political issue. We are willing to overlook uh PrimeMinister Carney he does speak French but of course not as fluently as some of his political rivals yes um but that’s interesting because I Think that.

The assumption of many people was that his French was worse than it is actually so when they would hear it they would hear him and they would say “Oh It’s not that bad after all.”

So so sothat’s one thing but I think that the main thing is that I will give you an example of what I’ve heard recently is someone was saying in in your house ifthere’s a big leak in your roof in your kitchen you’re not talking about the color of the paint you’re fixing the roof there so that’s.

The emergency there is Donald Trump and then if that leader is calm and experienced it doesn’t matter as much as if he doesn’t speakFrench or that well French having said that Mark Carney was also I think very smart in the sense that every chance and every opportunity.

he had he mentionedQuebec culture and he said in those negotiations uh with Trump news for commerce for trade Quebec distance culture French language that would be off the table so in a sense for those people who really care about how distantQuebec is and how friendship it still is well they could find reassurances.

FAQ:

Q1: Who is Carney and what role did he play in the election?
A: Mark Carney, a former central banker with a global reputation, led the Liberal Party to a surprising electoral comeback in the most recent Canadian federal election. His leadership, technocratic credibility, and economic focus resonated with voters seeking stability and moderate governance.

Q2: How did the Liberals manage such a turnaround?
A: The Liberal Party was trailing in polls earlier in the campaign, but a combination of economic messaging, Carney’s calm leadership style, and public fatigue with polarizing rhetoric helped shift momentum. Strategic campaigning in swing ridings and a strong debate performance also contributed to their resurgence.

Q3: What does “fueled by Trump” mean in this context?
A: The phrase refers to how fears of rising populism and Trump-style politics in Canada may have pushed centrist and moderate voters toward the Liberals. Carney’s campaign framed the election as a choice between steady, pragmatic governance and an increasingly radical opposition, drawing parallels to U.S. political trends.

Q4: What are the key priorities for Carney’s new government?
A: Carney has emphasized economic stability, climate action, healthcare reform, and restoring trust in public institutions. His government is expected to focus on inclusive growth, managing inflation, and reinforcing Canada’s global position.

Q5: How did other parties perform in the election?
A: While the Conservatives made gains in some regions, they fell short of forming government, possibly due to leadership controversies and comparisons to far-right politics abroad. The NDP and Bloc Québécois retained core support but did not significantly expand their base.

Q6: What does this result mean for Canada–U.S. relations?
A: Carney’s international experience and centrist stance are likely to foster a cooperative but assertive relationship with the U.S., especially on trade, climate, and democratic values. His victory may be seen as a rejection of Trump-style politics north of the border.
