Canada will deal with Trump 'on our terms', Carney tells BBC
- Mark Carney's Liberal Party won a federal election in Canada on Monday night, April 28, 2025, securing a new term in power amid a tense political climate.
- Carney’s victory followed his recent replacement of Justin Trudeau and was driven by voters rallying behind his promise to defend Canadian sovereignty against U.S. President Donald Trump's aggressive trade policies.
- Although the Liberals lead, the final result remains uncertain as a few races out of 343 electoral districts could determine if Carney’s party achieves a majority or falls just short of the 172 seats needed.
- Carney pledged to confront Trump using an “overwhelming positive force” of national unity, stating, “These are not idle threats,” and vowed, “We will win this trade war” and build Canada’s economy strongest in the G7.
- The campaign’s outcome suggests Canadians favored leadership experienced in economic crises and committed to sovereignty, while opposition Conservatives, led by Pierre Poilievre, remain a strong parliamentary force.
