🗳️ Liberal Party Holds Power Amid Cross-Border Tensions
On April 28, 2025, Canadians went to the polls and elected the Liberal Party, under Mark Carney, to a fourth consecutive term, though falling short of a full majority.
Key Election Highlights:
- Mark Carney’s First Victory: Carney, a former central banker, takes over from Justin Trudeau and pledges a steady hand amid rising tensions with the U.S.
- Impact of Trump’s Rhetoric: Anti-Trump sentiment in Canada surged following U.S. tariffs and inflammatory statements, energizing Liberal voters.
- Conservative and NDP Defeats: Both major opposition leaders lost their seats, signaling a major political realignment.
While the Liberals will likely need support from smaller parties, Carney’s leadership has been solidified.
