Canada\u2019s Liberal party has won a fourth term in office, capping a miraculous political resurrection and marking a landmark victory for the former central banker and political novice\u00a0Mark Carney\u00a0as he prepares to face off against Donald Trump.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mirroring a theme of the campaign, Carney used his victory speech to claim Trump wanted to \u201cbreak us, so that America can own us\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat will never, ever happen,\u201d he said to shouts from the crowd.<\/p>\n

Carney gave a stark assessment of a world order once defined by an integrated global trading system with the US at the centre, saying such a system was over, and he pledged to reshape Canada\u2019s relationships with other nations.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are over the shock over American betrayal. But we will never forget the lessons,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Carney praised other party leaders for campaigns that he said had strengthened the country\u2019s democracy. \u201cLet\u2019s put an end to the division and anger of the past. We are all Canadian and my government will work for and with everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n

Earlier in the evening as results from Canada\u2019s Atlantic provinces and vote-rich Quebec and Ontario came in, supporters at the Liberals\u2019 election night party erupted in cheers as it became clear the party would win.<\/p>\n

It was not immediately clear if the Liberals would have enough seats for a majority government. If it falls short it would need the support of political rivals to govern.<\/p>\n

After a narrow victory in the previous federal election, the Liberals relied on the leftwing New Democratic party to help it pass legislation. Monday\u2019s vote appeared likely to produce a similar result, with the Liberals and the NDP together holding enough seats to pass legislation.<\/p>\n

For the Liberals, the win marks a\u00a0remarkable recovery\u00a0for a party that was, until recently, on track for electoral devastation. Carney\u2019s predecessor as leader, Justin Trudeau, served as prime minister for nearly 10 years but the twilight of his leadership was marked by repeated threats of mutiny, bitter feuding and a fed-up electorate.<\/p>\n

Until the end of 2024, internal discussions within the Liberal party were grim: under their most optimistic scenarios, they could only hope of holding the Conservatives to a minority government. Outright victory was nowhere on the party\u2019s radar.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were dead and buried in December. Now we are going to form a government,\u201d David Lametti, a former Liberal justice minister, told CTV late on Monday. \u201cWe have turned this around thanks to Mark.\u201d<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
