Mark Carney's Liberal Party has secured a minority government in Canada's 2025 federal election, extending their tenure in power. Carney, a former central banker and political newcomer, succeeded Justin Trudeau in March. The Liberals' campaign emphasized defending Canadian sovereignty against U.S. President Donald Trump's aggressive trade policies, including imposed tariffs and provocative remarks about annexation. Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre conceded defeat but pledged to hold the minority government accountable. The election also saw the resignation of NDP leader Jagmeet Singh following significant losses. Carney now faces the challenge of navigating complex trade negotiations with the U.S. while addressing domestic economic concerns. (PC: Hindustan Times)
