Mark Carney’s Liberal Party Secures Victory in Canadian Election, According to Broadcasters | World News
According to Canadian news outlets, Mark Carney’s Liberal Party has emerged victorious in the recent election.
Mr. Carney assumed the role of prime minister following Justin Trudeau’s resignation earlier this year, defeating Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre.
The race initially seemed to favor the opposition Conservatives, who held a double-digit lead over the Liberals prior to Mr. Trudeau’s departure. A recent intervention by Donald Trump sparked a significant boost in support for Mr. Carney’s party.
Since being elected president for a second term, Mr. Trump has persistently urged for Canada to become the 51st state of the U.S. and has enacted extensive tariffs on Canadian goods.

Canadians cast their votes following a tragic incident where 11 individuals lost their lives in an attack at a Vancouver street fair over the weekend, which temporarily halted campaigning.
Authorities have ruled out terrorism, identifying the suspect as a local man with mental health challenges.
Mr. Carney previously served as the governor of Canada’s central bank and later became the first non-British citizen to lead the Bank of England.
