Prime Minister Mark Carney맥스카지노�s Liberal Party won Canada맥스카지노�s federal election on Monday, capping a stunning turnaround in fortunes fueled by President Donald Trump맥스카지노�s annexation threats and trade war.After polls closed, the Liberals were projected to win more of Parliament맥스카지노�s 343 seats than the Conservatives. It wasn맥스카지노�t immediately clear, though, if they would win an outright majority 맥스카지노� at least 172 맥스카지노� or would need to rely on one of the smaller parties to pass legislation.The Liberals looked headed for a crushing defeat until the American president started attacking Canada맥스카지노�s economy and threatening its sovereignty, suggesting it should become the 51st state. Trump맥스카지노�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.In a victory speech before supporters in Ottawa, Carney stressed the importance of Canadian unity in the face of Washington's threats. He also said the mutually beneficial system Canada and the U.S. had shared since World War II had ended.맥스카지노�We are over the shock of the American betrayal, but we should never forget the lessons,맥스카지노� he said.맥스카지노�As I've been warning for months, America wants our land, our resources, our water, our country," Carney said. "These are not idle threats. President Trump is trying to break us so America can own us. That will never ... ever happen. But we also must recognize the reality that our world has fundamentally changed.맥스카지노�A defeat for the ConservativesThe Conservative Party's leader, Pierre Poilievre, hoped to make the election a referendum on former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, whose popularity declined toward the end of his decade in power as food and housing prices rose.But Trump attacked, Trudeau resigned and Carney, a two-time central banker, became the Liberal Party맥스카지노�s leader and prime minister.In a concession speech and with his own House of Commons seat still in doubt, Poilievre vowed to keep fighting for Canadians.맥스카지노�We are cognizant of the fact that we didn't get over the finish line yet," Poilievre told supporters in Ottawa. "We know that change is needed, but change is hard to come by. It takes time. It takes work. And that's why we have to learn the lessons of tonight 맥스카지노� so that we can have an even better result the next time Canadians decide the future of the country.맥스카지노�Even with Canadians grappling with the fallout from a deadly weekend attack at a Vancouver street festival, Trump was trolling them on election day, suggesting again on social media that Canada should become the 51st state and saying he was on their ballot. He also erroneously claimed that the U.S. subsidizes Canada, writing, 맥스카지노�It makes no sense unless Canada is a State!맥스카지노�Trump맥스카지노�s truculence has infuriated Canadians, leading many to cancel U.S. vacations, refuse to buy American goods and possibly even vote early. A record 7.3 million Canadians cast ballots before election day.As Poilievre and his wife cast their ballots in Ottawa, he implored voters to 맥스카지노�Get out to vote 맥스카지노� for a change." After running a Trump-lite campaign for weeks, though, the Conservative leader's similarities to the bombastic American might have cost him.Reid Warren, a Toronto resident, said he voted Liberal because Poilievre 맥스카지노�sounds like mini-Trump to me.맥스카지노� And he said Trump맥스카지노�s tariffs are a worry.맥스카지노�Canadians coming together from, you know, all the shade being thrown from the States is great, but it맥스카지노�s definitely created some turmoil, that맥스카지노�s for sure,맥스카지노� he said.Historian Robert Bothwell said Poilievre appealed to the 맥스카지노�same sense of grievance맥스카지노� as Trump, but that it ultimately worked against him.맥스카지노�The Liberals ought to pay him," Bothwell said, referring to the president. "Trump talking is not good for the Conservatives.맥스카지노�The Liberal way forwardCarney and the Liberals secured a new term, but they have daunting challenges ahead.If they don't win a majority in Parliament, the Liberals might need to rely on one of the smaller parties to remain in power and pass legislation. The Bloc Québécois, which looked set to finish third, is a separatist party from French-speaking Quebec that seeks independence from Canada. Trudeau맥스카지노�s Liberals relied on the New Democrats to remain in power for four years, but the progressive party fared poorly on Monday and its leader, Jagmeet Singh, said he was stepping down after eight years in charge.맥스카지노�This is a dramatic comeback, but if the Liberals cannot win a majority of seats, political uncertainty in a new minority Parliament could complicate things for them,맥스카지노� said McGill University political science professor Daniel Béland.Until this year, foreign policy hadn맥스카지노�t dominated a Canadian election this much since 1988, when, ironically, free trade with the United States was the prevailing issue.In addition to the trade war with the U.S. and frosty relationship with Trump, Canada is dealing with a cost-of-living crisis. And more than 75% of its exports go to the U.S., so Trump's tariffs threat and his desire to get North American automakers to move Canada's production south could severely damage the Canadian economy.While campaigning, Carney vowed that every dollar the government collects from counter-tariffs on U.S. goods will go toward Canadian workers who are adversely affected by the trade war. He also said he plans to keep dental care in place, offer a middle-class tax cut, return immigration to sustainable levels and increase funding to Canada's public broadcaster, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.___Associated Press reporter Mike Householder contributed to this report.
