Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney’s Liberals maintained power in the country’s elections on Monday, but CTV News predicted that they would be less than the majority government that he wanted to help in interaction with the United States President Donald Trump.
Librars need to win 172 from the 343 election districts of the House of Commons, known as seats, for the majority that will allow them to rule without the support of a small party.
According to CTV, liberals were leading or elected in 156 districts, followed by 145 with conservatives.
The western province of British Columbia, where the elections were final closed, could decide that the liberal majority is less than the government.
Shachi Kurl, president of the Angus Reid Institute, a polling firm, won a generous win over three factors.
Kurl said, “This was a ‘but it was a factor’, it was a trump tariff factor, and then it was Trudeau departure … which enabled a lot of Left voters and traditional liberal voters to return to the party,” Kurl said, referred to the resignation of the former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
Carney promised a tough approach with Washington on his tariff and said that Canada would need to spend billions to reduce its dependence on the US, but the conservatives of the right center, who called for change after liberal rule over nine years, showed unexpected power.
Minority governments in Canada rarely last for more than 2–1/2 years.
Canadian Broadcasting Corp predicts a liberal win, but has not yet said whether they expect a minority or majority government.
The result made a remarkable comeback for liberals, who were 20 points behind the elections in January, before Trudeau announced that he was leaving and Trump began to threaten tariffs and anxation.
Trump’s threats ignited a wave of patriotism, which received support for Carney, a political newbout, who led the first two G7 central banks.
Trump re-emerged as a campaign factor last week, announcing that he could increase 25% tariffs on Canadian-made cars because America does not want them. He said that he could first use “Economic Forces” to make Canada a 51st state.
Carney has emphasized that his experience of handling economic issues makes him the best leader to deal with Trump, while conservative leader Pierre Pilevre has faced concerns about life, crime and cost of a housing crisis.
Trump on Monday reiterated his call to become a 51st state for Canada, in a social media post.
“Best wishes to the great people of Canada,” he said. “Choose the man who has the strength and knowledge to cut his taxes in half, increase his military power, free, up to the highest level in the world, your car, steel, aluminum, wood, energy, and all other businesses, quadruple in size, quadruple, zero tariffs or taxes, if Canada is ranked 51st.”
Conservative disappointment:
Tension with the US led to supporters of two small parties, the new Democratic Party with leftist-blows and separatist blocks to transfer supporters of two small parties to liberalists.
The last party that won four consecutive elections in Canada was Liberals in 2004.
The result was a major defeat for Pilevre, which focused his campaign on domestic issues and needed to fix a country that he said that liberals were “broken.”
