Mark Carney's Liberal Party has secured victory in Canada's 2025 federal election, marking a significant political turnaround. Initially trailing in polls, the Liberals gained momentum following U.S. President Donald Trump's controversial remarks, including suggestions of annexing Canada as the 51st state. These comments galvanized Canadian voters, shifting support towards Carney, who is perceived as a strong counter to Trump's influence. Carney, a former central bank governor, assumed Liberal leadership in March after Justin Trudeau's resignation. While the Liberals lead with 159 seats in the 343-seat House of Commons, it's uncertain if they will achieve a majority. The election underscores Canada's desire to assert its sovereignty and navigate complex U.S.-Canada relations. (PC: AP News)
