US EditionSNL jokes about Donald Trump helping Mark Carney win federal election in cold open
- Canada's Liberal Party, led by Prime Minister Mark Carney, won the federal election on April 28, 2025, securing 169 out of 343 seats in Ottawa.
- The election victory followed escalating tensions with the U.S. Under former President Donald Trump, whose aggressive trade and annexation threats influenced Canadian voters.
- In his victory speech, Carney emphasized the need for Canadian solidarity in response to the challenges posed by Washington, acknowledging the end of the long-standing cooperative relationship between the two countries and urging that the experience be remembered carefully.
- The Liberals fell short of a parliamentary majority by three seats, while the Conservatives and the separatist Bloc Québécois gained 144 and 22 seats respectively, with both main parties achieving highest vote shares since 2008.
- This outcome implies continued political challenges in Canada amid strained U.S. Relations and signals enduring domestic divisions over national unity and foreign policy.
