Projections show a Liberal victory, but a majority remains uncertain. Carney vows to defend Canada’s independence amid growing U.S. pressure

Mark Carney’s Liberal Party has won Canada’s federal election, according to projections by CBC News. However, it remains unclear whether Carney will secure a parliamentary majority, which requires at least 172 seats, or if he will have to govern with a minority.

The election marks a stunning defeat for Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives, who had consistently led in polls for months. Analysts point to a potential “Trump effect,” suggesting that the increasingly aggressive rhetoric from the American president may have alienated Canadian voters.

Carney, the former governor of the Bank of Canada, built his campaign around a tough stance against Washington, fiercely opposing U.S. tariffs and President Trump’s controversial calls for Canada to become America’s 51st state.

In his victory speech, Carney declared that the “old relationship” between Canada and the United States was over. “Canada must never forget the American betrayal,” he stated. “America wants our land, our resources, our water. Trump is trying to break us to own us. That will never happen.”

Carney announced plans to engage in dialogue with President Trump but made it clear that Canada would not be negotiating from a position of weakness. “When I sit down with Trump, we will be fully aware that we have many other options to build prosperity for all Canadians,” he said. “We will fight with all our strength to secure the best deal for Canada.”

Calling for national unity, Carney urged citizens to support domestic businesses and stand strong in the face of external pressure. “We are buying Canadian products, supporting our neighbors under attack from President Trump. We will win this trade war and build the strongest economy in the G7,” he proclaimed.

Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre conceded defeat but pledged to work with the new government to protect Canada’s sovereignty. “Canada first, Canada always,” Poilievre said, echoing and reshaping Trump’s famous slogan. “Conservatives will work with the prime minister and all parties to forge a new trade agreement that leaves tariffs behind while safeguarding our independence.”
