Mark Carney's Liberals have won Canada's federal election - riding a backlash of anti-Trump sentiment to form the next government.
It is a stunning political turnaround for a party who were widely considered dead and buried just a few months ago.
It's not yet clear if the party - which has been in power for almost a decade - will be able to secure a majority as results continue to roll in.
Either way, the prime minister faces major challenges, including divisions in the country laid bare by the campaign.

The fear of becoming the 51st state of Yankeeland scared the hell out of the Canadians. & Mark Carney's Liberals played the right political game. However, whether it could retain this preserved sovereign rhetorics is another business for another day.
ReplyDeleteThe Conservative candidate is a MAGA-Trumpo style populist.
ReplyDeleteNo doubt Canada faces major challenges, but the Conservative guy would have been a disaster.
