Mark Carney’s Liberal Party has secured victory in Canada’s federal election, earning a historic fourth consecutive term, according to projections by CBC and CTV News. While it remains unclear whether the Liberals will secure a parliamentary majority, the win marks a major political milestone for Carney, who only recently succeeded Justin Trudeau as Prime Minister.
Carney, 60, led a campaign centered on economic stability and firm opposition to U.S. President Donald Trump’s aggressive stance toward Canada. Trump’s renewed threats to annex Canadian territory, made in a social media post on election day, sparked outrage across the country and further elevated cross-border relations as a top campaign issue.
Despite having no prior electoral experience, Carney’s extensive background as the former governor of the central banks of both Canada and the United Kingdom helped bolster his image as a steady hand in turbulent times. He positioned himself as uniquely qualified to steer Canada through the economic uncertainty triggered by Trump’s trade war and protectionist policies.
Carney has vowed to reduce Canada’s dependency on the U.S. by expanding international trade partnerships and diversifying economic alliances.
The unexpected resurgence of the Liberal Party comes just a month after Trudeau stepped down, a move many analysts say cleared the way for Carney’s rise and was pivotal in reshaping public sentiment. The result marks one of the most dramatic political comebacks in Canadian history and cements Carney’s place as a key figure in the nation’s evolving political landscape.
