WORLD NEWS – Liberal Party’s Mark Carney shocks conservatives, elected as Canadian prime minister

Laila Kirkpatrick, Staff Writer

Mark Carney has been elected as Canada’s next prime minister. The recent election for prime minister is one of the country’s most consequential in decades. However, without the full vote count completed, it’s unclear if his Liberal Party will also win the 172 seats needed for a majority in the Parliament. His top opponent was Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre. Poilievre lost his seat in Ontario to the liberal party after holding the seat for over 20 years. In his concession speech, he said that they “didn’t quite get over the finish line.”

The vote was a referendum on which candidate could handle the issues that U.S. President Donald Trump would throw at them. This sparked a wave of nationalism, particularly after Trump threatened to annex Canada and placed tariffs on the country. In a speech he made to supporters on Monday night, Carney said, “As I’ve been warning for months, America wants our land, our resources, our water, our country.” He went on to say, “These are not idle threats. President Trump is trying to break us so America can own us. That will never … ever happen.”
