Driven by Trump’s threats, the liberal party manages to overcome the conservatives, previously favored, but will have to govern in the minority. The liberal party, of Preêê Mark Carneary, won the legislative elections of Canada on Monday (28/04), but will have to govern in the minority.
In a speech to his supporters, lead to govern “with all parties, all territories and civil society” in a message designed to strengthen national unity.
“We will win this commercial war,” Carry said to an enthusiastic crowd in Ottawa, where he warned the “challenging” days due to the rates of the President of the United States Donald Trump and the threats of annexation.
“We have already passed the shock of American betrayal, but we should never forget the lessons,” he added. His first challenge is now to sit with Trump and negotiate “between two sovereign nations” the new economic and security relationship that the two countries will have in the future.
“The old relationship with the United States, a relationship based on growing integration, is over,” said Carry.
After calculating about 99% of the polls, the liberal party obtained 168 seats in Parliament – and should remain just below the absolute majority of 172. The conservatives obtain 144 seats and therefore unable to take power and break a cycle of 10 years of liberal governments.
The leader of the Conservative Canada Party who led the polls for a long time for a long time, Pierre Poirievre, recognized the victory of his liberal rival and promised to continue leading the party in opposition.
The commentators are already calling the victory of the “poisoned gift” since this apparently minority government does not seem to negotiate with Trump at a time when the latter attacks Canada almost every day, with rates or with its suggestion that the country should be attached by the United States.
Other challenges
Mark Carnery, 60 years old, former head of the Central Bank of Canada and the United Kingdom, took only the leadership of the liberal party in March, managing to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who had announced his resignation in January, due to the decline in the popularity of his caption, while the conservatives grew in the voting surveys, even bringing 20 percent.
Carney was able to reverse the situation, led by the tariff dispute with the United States and Trump’s suggestions that the United States could attack Canada.
Trump is the most important challenge, but not the only one, faced by this economist, a practicing Catholic, married and father of four children. Carney must also face the deep discontent of the Canadian public with many of the policies of its predecessor, which led to a strong increase in the cost of living, threatening the prosperity of many families, has made the homes that can be inaccessible to millions, as well as a migratory growth.
