Canada’s Liberal Party won the federal election of Monday, marking a rapid political change, seems to be largely operated by President Trump’s regional threats and tariff strategy.
Prime Minister Mark carney343 seats of Canadian Parliament were estimated to win 343 seats compared to rival conservators. It was not immediately clear that the liberals would claim a lump sum majority of at least 172 seats, or if they would be forced to rely on MPs from a small party or parties to pass the new law.
Canadians decided to provide a fourth term to the Liberal Party with Monday’s vote, now with the rudder with Carney, conservatives and their populist leader Pierre Pielevre, instead of shifting control to Piere Pilevre, which was estimated to win the election only months ago.

The popularity of the Liberal Party had been declining over the years, eventually leading to the resignation of former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in March, and conservative federal government was ready to control the federal government – until Mr. Trump steps.
US president repeated Annex Canada threatened And his Extensive tariffWhich has reduced the Canadian economy, dominated the campaign and influenced the choice of voters. Domestic issues including strength, immigration, jobs and crime remained important factors.
“As I have been warning for months, America wants our land, our resources, our water, our country.” “These are not useless threats. President Trump is trying to break us so that America can have its own. It will never happen.”
Calling it a “Kaj Pal” in history, Carney said that a relationship with Canada’s “Old Relations with the United States – a constant increasing integration is over. A system anchor by the United States, a system of open global trade, a system that has trusted from Canada to another since the second world war, a system that is not right, we are for decades. We should not forget the decades.

Elections According to Canada, a record number of Canadian people – approximate 7.3 million – already cast their votes, 25% increase compared to 2021 elections.
A diverse group of voters gathered on Monday to cast its ballot inside a school gym at Milton City, Ontario. While they were divided on who would be best to deal with Mr. Trump, they all agreed that the sovereignty, tariffs and strengths of everyday items were the main issues on their minds because they cast their votes.
“Trump’s decisions are impressing not only Canada but the rest of the world,” a couple voted for liberals, telling CBS News outside a polling station. “Tariff affects the market; it affects the prices of all accessories, food, anything.”

Opponents put Conservative Leader Poilavere as equality with Mr. Trump, which could end their cost on the day of election.
The couple of Milton City told CBS News, “Some things, which are unfortunately, came out, with which we did not agree with.” “May look silly, but the fact that he wants to bring the plastic bags and straws back – I don’t like this idea.”
A voter named Peter said that he considered the issue of Canadian sovereignty while casting his vote. However, he did not say which party he believed to be on the threats of Mr. Trump to make Canada a “51st state”, he emphasized the need for unity of Canada.
John Ivsky, a self-employed businessman from Milton, said that he considered the election to be important, emphasized the issue of tariffs. He said that Canada should find more and different global partners.

“Canada needs to form its economy and comprehensive partnership,” IVSKY told CBS News. “America should not be the only economic, military or political partner. We need partners all over the world, so we are not suffering from a political change in a country.”
“I respect and vote every party that can support family values, orthodox values, freedom of speech, and I vote for a person who can reflect my beliefs, whether it is generous or conservative,” IVSKY said. “At this point, conservatives are the ones who can do so.”
On Monday, Mr. Trump once again injected himself into the election campaign. In a post on Truth Social, he reiterated his idea of making Canada the 51st American state and called Canadian voters to vote for the person who could be possible – without name of a political party.
“Best wishes to the great people of Canada. Choose the man who has the strength and knowledge of cutting his taxes in half, to increase its military power, free, up to the highest level in the world, your car, steel, aluminum, lumber, energy, and all other businesses, quadruple, zero tariffs or Rach, if Canada asked the United States of States.
In response to his comment, Poilavere said Canada would never become a 51st state, and he urged the US President to stay out of Canada’s elections.
“President Trump, stay out of our election. Only those who decide the future of Canada are Canadians in Matpeti,” Poilievre said in a social media in French Post. “Canada will always be proud, sovereign and independent and we will never be the 51st states. Today Canadian people can vote for change so that we can strengthen our country, stand on our two legs and stand in America with a position of strength.”
In his campaign, Carney requested voters to give a strong mandate to deal with Mr. Trump.
“President Trump has some obsessive views, and he is one,” Carney said about the hazards. “This is not a joke. He has a very strong desire to do so. This is a reason why this crisis is so serious.”
