Mark Carney’s Liberal Party won the election upset in Canada, turning what was supposed to be a domestic vote into a response to Donald Trump. Pierre Poilievre—dubbed “Trump Lite” by critics—not only lost the election, but also lost his seat in Parliament.
Analysts agree: Trump flipped the election, driving Canadians toward Carney’s more defiant stance against U.S. tariffs. It’s now up to Carney to deal with Canada’s economic independence and a neighbor who’s acting more like an overbearing landlord than a friend.
