Prime Minister Mark Carney took his liberal party to a limited victory in the fundamental elections of Canada on Monday, ensuring a fourth term for the party and a renewed mandate to lead the fight against President Trump in trade and sovereignty of nations.
Carney, a former central banker who was running for a position for the first time, gave a combative tone to the United States duration of his acceptance speech in the early hours of Tuesday at an event of the Liberal Party in Ottawa.
It was not clear if the liberals would win most of the seats in the next Chamber of the Commons, which would allow Mr. Carney to govern relatively without obstacles, or his government would need to trust in narrower parts to support his legislative agenda.
Carney promises to face Trump.
Carney does not have Mr. Trump in person since he became leader of the Liberal Party and Prime Minister last month. But he made the threatening comments of Mr. Trump on how to make Canada the State 51 and the tariffs he has imposed on Canadian goods the center of his campaign.
The two men held what was described as a professional call before the elections, thought that Mr. Carney said during the campaign Trump had mentioned the 51st duration of the state threat that conversation.
Mr. Carney has said that he will keep Canada’s retaliation rates against the United States. But he has warned that expanding them would harm Canadians more than they would press the Americans.
Mr. Carney has also promised to diversify the alliances and commercial relations of Canada, and made a letter but an important trip to Europe to underline that approach last month.
In his acceptance speech, Mr. Carney emphasized that his priority would be to continue backing against Trump.
“While I warn for months, the United States wants our land, our resources, our water, our country,” he said. “President Trump is trying to break us so he can own us. That will never happen.” Hello, they also warned the Canadians to confront the American threat would be different and could require sacrifices.
The result was close.
Mr. Carney’s victory was an extraordinary political return for the liberals. Only a few months ago, they followed the conservative party of the opposition Pierre Poilievre in almost 30 percentage points according to opinion surveys, and it was widely expected that the liberals faced an experience close to death.
But that was before Mr. Trump bronzes talking about annexing to Canada and imposing potential paralysis rates in the country.
It was also before Justin Trudeau, whom many voters had been grated after almost a decade in office, resigned as prime minister.
At the beginning of the campaign, the surveys began to suggest that the considerable advantage of the conservatives had evaporated and that the liberals under Mr. Carney could go to a decisive victory.
But the duration of the last week of the campaign, the gap between the two games narrowed when the voters’ Conerns moved away from Mr. Trump’s designs in Canada and returned to groups about the cost of living.
While conservatives were denied power, the party seemed to most of the popular vote since 1988, and will probably win more seats than in the previous Parliament.
The conservatives obtained profits, but their leader lost their seat.
Mr. Poilievre lost his seat in Ottawa, a sharp defeat for a man who seemed to become the next prime minister only a few weeks ago. He is a career politician and has hero the seat during the last two decades, since he was 25 years old.
Before confirming the news of his loss, Mr. Poilievre admitted the general elections, but promised to stay as a leader.
Framed as the conservative result as the beginning of an important change in Canadian politics, highlighting the important profits that the party had achieved under its leadership.
“A change is needed, but it is difficult to get. Time is needed, work is needed,” Pailievre told his followers in Ottawa.
But it is not clear that White his group stays with him. Despite accrediting Mr. Poilievre for lifting the conservatives, there are segments of the party that responsible for not turning successfully after the threat represented by Mr. Trump. Losing his seat weakens his authority, and the conservative Caucus expelled the two previous leaders of the party after the electoral losses, but the analysts expressed their belief that still had a strong control over the party.
Carney will have to make great decisions quickly.
After his call with Mr. Trump last month, Mr. Carney said that the president of the United States had agreed to participate quickly on conversations about security and economic problems with whom he won Monday’s elections, so a meeting between the two leaders soon is expected.
Mr. Carney will also have to make a series of domestic political decisions, starting with the formation of a cabinet and starting a parliamentary session.
Other experiences that expect to be roasted in Parliament for the first time.
And Mr. Carney will soon receive the leaders of the group of 7 industrialized nations. Trump and leaders of Great Britain, France, Germany, Italy and Japan are expected, as well as the European Union, attend the summit to be held in Kananaskis, a mountain resort in Alberta, in mid -June.
