How Carney's win in Canada can be the EU's, too

Mark Carney's Liberal Party won a minority government in Canada's April 27, 2025 federal election, securing 162 of 343 seats and forming a more fragile government in Ottawa.
The election followed months of Conservative leads fueled by radical right rhetoric amid rising geopolitical uncertainty, with Carney taking over for Trudeau in March to stabilize Canada.
Carney, a centrist and pro-EU leader, prioritizes consolidating the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement and boosting defense spending to meet NATO's two percent GDP target.
Since 2017, CETA has increased EU-Canada trade by 65% and European Council President António Costa called it a "success story" that surpasses tariffs in benefit.
Carney's government faces the challenge of strengthening Canada's economy and international partnerships amid transatlantic unpredictability and pressures from rising global protectionism.
