The Guardian view on Canada's Liberal election: Carney's triumph is a rebuff to Trump | Editorial
Briefly

Canada's recent election results signify a remarkable recovery for the Liberal Party, which, under new leader Mark Carney, is poised for a fourth term. The election outcome hinges on conservative leader Pierre Poilievre's blunders, as his party's early dominance waned, largely due to Trump's controversial remarks about Canada's statehood and increased tariffs. Voter unification among leftist parties played a crucial role, particularly with the New Democrats suffering significant losses and leader Jagmeet Singh resigning. This election serves as a repudiation of right-wing tactics and a reaffirmation of Canada's commitment to political independence amid rising global tensions.
Mr. Poilievre lost his seat after building a 25-point lead, revealing how Trump's influence backfired and shifting voter priorities.
Mr. Trump made Canada's political and economic sovereignty the central issue, leading to a clear repudiation of his agenda during the elections.
