In Canada's elections, the Liberals are forecast to win enough seats in the 343-member Parliament to continue governing, though as a minority

Donald Trump's influence looms over Canada's poll as Liberals win

Donald Trump cast a long shadow over Canada's national election and many Canadian voters noticed. In his first 100 days back in the White House, the U.S. president has lobbed barbs at America's northern neighbour, levied tariffs on Canadian goods and talked about making Canada the 51st state. It had many Canadian voters thinking about Trump and how the parties on the ballot would respond to him. Prime Minister Mark Carney's Liberals won over Conservative opposition leader Pierre Poilievre, a dramatic reversal of fortune credited largely to Trump. Here are some voices from voters casting their ballots in Monday's elections: Poilievre sounds like mini-Trump' In Toronto, Reid Warren said he voted Liberal because he saw the party as the best amid what he characterized as real uncertainty in the economy particularly. I don't think there is a better choice right now, he said, voting in Toronto. "I know people believe in Poilievre but it's the same, like, soundbites that you get from .

Carney's Liberals win election upended by Trump, projects Canadian media

Prime Minister Mark Carney's Liberal Party won Canada's federal election on Monday, capping a stunning turnaround in fortunes fuelled by US President Donald Trump's annexation threats and trade war. The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, the national public broadcaster, said the Liberals will win more of Parliament's 343 seats than the Conservatives. It wasn't clear yet if the Liberals will win an outright majority, which would allow them to pass legislation without needing help. The Liberals looked headed for a crushing defeat until the American president started attacking Canada's economy and threatening its sovereignty, suggesting it should become the 51st state. Trump's actions infuriated Canadians and stoked a surge in nationalism that helped the Liberals flip the election narrative and win a fourth-straight term in power. The opposition Conservative Party's leader, Pierre Poilievre, hoped to make the election a referendum on former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, whose populari

Trump's tough talk might help Mark Carney win full term as Canada's PM

Mark Carney's political career is only months old, and it's already been a roller-coaster ride. The former central banker appeared destined to become one of Canada's shortest-serving prime ministers until President Donald Trump picked a fight with the US's northern neighbour. Carney, who was sworn in on March 14 following Justin Trudeau's resignation and a Liberal Party leadership race, now leads in the polls heading into the April 28 parliamentary elections, marking a dramatic turnaround for a party that seemed headed for a crushing defeat until the American president started attacking Canada's economy and sovereignty almost daily. Trump's trade war and threats to make Canada the 51st state have infuriated Canadians and led to a surge in Canadian nationalism that has helped Liberals flip the election narrative. In a mid-January poll by Nanos, Liberals trailed the Conservative Party by 47% to 20%. In the latest Nanos poll, which was conducted during a three-day period that ended Apr

Easing trade barriers to aid Canada more than US tariffs hurt, says Carney

Prime Minister Mark Carney said Thursday eliminating trade barriers within Canada would benefit Canadians far more than US President Donald Trump can ever take away with his trade war as he made his case to retain power at the last debate ahead of the April 28 vote. Carney has set a goal of free trade within the country's 10 provinces and three territories by July 1. Canada has long had interprovincial trade barriers. "We can give ourselves far more than Donald Trump can ever take away," Carney said We can have one economy. This is within our grasp. Carney said the relationship Canada has had with the US for the past 40 years has fundamentally changed because of Trump's tariffs. If reelected Carney plans to immediately enter into trade walks with the Trump administration. We are facing the biggest crisis of our lifetimes. Donald Trump is trying to fundamentally change the world economy, the trading system, but really is he's trying to break us so the US can own us. They want our la

Carney says Trump key issue in Canada election, rival leader demands change

Prime Minister Mark Carney said Wednesday the key question in Canada's election is who is best to deal with US President Donald Trump while his Conservative rival argued that Carney doesn't represent change after a decade of Liberal Party rule. Opposition Conservative Pierre Poilievre said during the French-language leaders' debate Canada needs change and Carney is just like his predecessor Justin Trudeau. Mr. Poilievre is not Justin Trudeau. I'm not Justin Trudeau either. In this election the question is who is going to face Mr. Trump," Carney said. Trump's trade war and threats to make Canada the 51st state have infuriated Canadians and led to a surge in Canadian nationalism that has bolstered Liberal Party poll numbers ahead of the April 28 vote. Poilievre is imploring Canadians not to give the Liberals a fourth term. He hoped to make the election a referendum on Trudeau, whose popularity declined toward the end of his decade in power as food and housing prices rose and immigrat

Donald Trump calls first talk with new Canadian PM 'extremely productive'

US President Donald Trump said Friday that his first call with new Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney was extremely productive and Carney said Trump respected Canada's sovereignty both in private and public but added that the relationship has changed. The call came as Trump has declared a trade war on Canada and has threatened to use economic coercion to make Canada the 51st US state, a position that has infuriated Canadians. Trump avoided any mention of that in his social media post and in public remarks later. "We had a very good conversation. Mark called me," Trump said. We had a very very good talk. He's going through an election. We'll see what happens. Trump didn't refer to the prime minister as governor as he did with Carney's predecessor Justin Trudeau. The US president, in his social media post, said the two sides agree on many things and will be meeting immediately after Canada's upcoming Election to work on elements of Politics, Business, and all other factors, that wil

Canadian PM Mark Carney announces end of ties with US over Trump tariff

Carney's statement comes a day after Trump announced 25 per cent tariff on auto imports

Amid trade war, Canada's PM Mark Carney to speak soon with Donald Trump

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney on Thursday said he would speak with US President Donald Trump in the coming days after the latter announced 25 per cent tariffs on auto imports. Carney, who hasn't spoken with Trump since becoming Canada's new leader nearly two weeks ago, said the US president reached out on Wednesday night to schedule a call. "We will be speaking soon, certainly in the course of the next day or two," Carney said. He also said that Trump has to respect Canada's sovereignty. "That's not much to ask, but apparently it's a lot for him," he said. Trump has declared a trade war on Canada and continues to call for the United States' northern neighbour to become the 51st US state, a position that has infuriated Canadians. Carney was sworn in as Canada's new prime minister on March 14. It's unusual for a US president and Canadian prime minister to go so long without talking after a new leader takes office. Carney, who replaced Justin Trudeau as Canada's leader and th

Canadian PM Carney calls Trump's auto tariffs 'direct attack' on country

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney on Wednesday said that US President Donald Trump's auto tariffs are a "direct attack" on his country and that the trade war is hurting Americans, noting that American consumer confidence is at a multi-year low. Trump on Wednesday said he was placing 25 per cent tariffs on auto imports and, to underscore his intention, he stated that "this is permanent". "This is a very direct attack. We will defend our workers. We will defend our companies. We will defend our country," Carney responded. Carney also said he needs to see the details of Trump's executive order before taking retaliatory measures. He called it unjustified and said he will leave the election campaign to go to Ottawa on Thursday to chair his special Cabinet committee on US relations. Carney earlier announced a USD $1.4 billion "strategic response fund" that will protect Canadian auto jobs affected by Trump's tariffs. Autos are Canada's second largest export, and Carney noted it employ

Trump will want talks as Americans suffer from trade war, says Canada PM

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has said that US President Donald Trump will ultimately respect Canada's sovereignty and be ready for comprehensive trade talks because Americans are going to suffer from Trump's trade war. Carney said talks with Trump will not happen until we get the respect we deserve as a sovereign nation. By the way, this is not a high bar. Trump kept up his near-daily attacks on Canada on Friday, repeating that the country should be the 51st state and that the US keeps Canada afloat. When I say they should be a state, I mean that, the American president said. Carney met with Canada's provincial leaders at the Canadian War Museum in Ottawa for trade war talks. Carney, sworn in last Friday, still hasn't had a phone call with Trump. Trump mocked Carney's predecessor, Justin Trudeau, by calling him Governor Trudeau, but he has not yet mentioned Carney's name. The new prime minister said he wants a comprehensive discussion on trade and security with the America
