Overview
In a stunning electoral reversal, Prime Minister Mark Carney’s Liberal Party has won Canada's federal election, aided by a surge in nationalism ignited by President Trump’s threats. Initially projected to lose, the Liberals rallied in the final weeks amidst Trump’s controversial claims about Canadian sovereignty, which infuriated voters. While the party is set to secure more seats than the Conservatives, it's uncertain if they'll achieve an outright majority. Voter engagement was notably high, with over 7.3 million casting early ballots. Carney, previously viewed as a long shot, capitalized on growing anti-Trump sentiment to secure his leadership.
