Prime Minister Mark Carney’s Liberals won a federal election Monday, the country’s public broadcaster, the CBC, projected, an extraordinary comeback that was fueled in part by President Donald Trump’s tariff policies and attacks on Canada.

Just months ago, Carney’s party was headed for a potentially historic drubbing. It was not yet clear whether the Liberals would rule a minority or majority government as votes continued to be counted.

Amid the U.S. president’s trade war and threats to annex its northern neighbor, voters flocked to Carney — a political novice, who led the Bank of Canada during the global financial crisis and the Bank of England during Brexit. He pitched himself as a steady hand at a destabilizing time.

Are we still allowed to make fun of Canada's small PP?

[–] HellsBelle@sh.itjust.works 8 points 9 hours ago

Yup, especially since he lost his seat and will likely have to resign as leader of the Conservative party.

Lmao

despite one's political beliefs, it's undeniable that this is a monumental upset. six months ago, this wasn't even a question. wow.

Although a Bloc opposition would have been pretty funny

[–] Gandhi70@lemmy.world 28 points 16 hours ago

Finally some good news.

An honest and "Thank You!" from my side towards Donald Trump!

Without his helpful and ruthless support, this victory would not have been possible!

As a real American I can happily congratulate Canada and ask if it’s ok to put my elbows up in celebration?

[–] Zaktor@sopuli.xyz 26 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

They are definitely going to take the wrong lesson from this.

You're not wrong, they still won't learn how to be more progressive. They just learned that sliding right a little here and there will win them even more voters, especially if the conservatives keep shooting themselves in the foot.

But that strategy is doomed to fail, eventually. It's the same strategy the democrats are employing in the US. They just lost to trump first.

With the numbers as they are? I doubt it. If the US becomes sane again the NDP will regain its seats and the Liberals must understand that.

The ability of center-left politicians to find a way to not-understand political environments cannot be overstated.

“We were dead and buried in December. Now we are going to form a government,” David Lametti, a former Liberal Justice Minister, told CTV late on Monday. “We have turned this around thanks to Mark,” he said.
