CANADA - Mark Carney's Liberals are projected to form Canada's next government, mark-ing an historic turnaround for a party that looked to be headed for collapse just months ago. But as results continue to be declared,...
the party has not secured a clear majority in parliament - meaning it may have to work to unite Canadians in the face of tariffs and threats from US President Donald Trump. "Who's ready to stand up for Canada with me?" Carney said in a victory speech early on Tuesday morning. The former banker - who had never held political office before replacing Justin Trudeau as Liberal leader earlier this year - presented himself during the campaign as the most experienced leader in a time of crisis. "One of the responsibilities of government is to prepare for the worst, not the best," he said during his victory speech. "President Trump is trying to break us, so America can own us." (BBC)
