Canada’s Mark Carney is preparing to take the west anti-trump mantle

In the end, the Canada election referred to both the man in the White House and who would be Prime Minister in Ottawa.

The margin was thin but the Canadian verdict It was clear. With President Donald Trump’s rates, which threatened the foundations of his economy, voters wanted the Canadian leader to be the central banker who sailed for the financial crisis and the world Brexit.

Mark CarneyThat until Monday evening he was not even a member of Parliament, he is now on a good way to run a minority government with a mandate to face Trump. He has promised a “broad renegotiation of our security and trade relationship” with the United States, the closest Allied and the closest trade partner in Canada.

“We are back in one of those moments in history,” Charney told the retirement supporters at a manifestation of victory at Ottawa. “Our ancient relationship with the United States, based on constant integration, is over.”

Carney said that “North -American betrayal” was a tragedy, “but it is also our new reality.”

“America wants our land, our resources, our water, our country. They are not idle threats.”

After almost a decade of Justin Trudeau’s progressive politics, Carney moved the liberal party decisively towards the center, and put the Sovereignty and Canadian opposition to Trump, which has threatened to annex the country, in the core of its pitch to voters.

“It was very serious elections and these issues were almost existential,” said Financial Times Jean Chrétien, a Liberal Prime Minister of Canada from 1993 to 2003. “Mr. Carney has a clear mandate, the Canadians want the threat to be the threat that Mr. Trump is,” he said.

CARNEY VICTORY will resonate much further CanadaEspecially in the western capitals and the world halls, where the former Goldman Sachs executive is already a well -known amount, and now becomes a strong figure among the world leaders ready to plant with Trump.

Sandro Gozi, an Italian politician who led Europe’s liberal parties in the EU elections last year, said that Cardey’s victory was “the first victory of democracy against a new and unacceptable imperialist action and upward in Washington.”

“It can inspire other countries,” said Gozi. “Carding’s victory is of the utmost importance. Not only for Canada, but for all Democrats around the world.”

The Charney Campaign took advantage of a patriotism field when the Canadians put on Trump’s rates and tariffs, Tirant wine from the Napa Valley of the shelves of liquor stores and fattening the North -American National Hockey Games.

From the first hours of Tuesday morning, the Liberals were in good way to win 168 seats in the house of 343 places of the commons, far ahead of the conservatives at 144 seats, but to less than most.

A minority government would present challenges for Cardney. Its first priority must be to negotiate a voting agreement with a partner such as the new Democratic Party, leaving its Prime Minister in a patron of participation at the moment.

The NDP, who also supported the previous Trudeau government, was on the way to win seven seats. Although its leader Jagmeet Singh resigned after not winning its seat, the left -wing party would have the balance of power and could maintain a card to withstand politics and legislation.

The presence of the President of the United States in the election injured the conservative party leader, Pierre Poilievre, who had enjoyed a huge advantage at the polls until the beginning of the year and was on his way to lose his place, according to CBC.

The reversal of Poilievre’s fortunes will be monitored by other right -wing parties, which can now be more beams in the Trump Narump Association.

Although the Canadians went to the polls on Monday, Trump urged voters to choose a leader who made the country in the 51st state of the United States as “wanted to be.” An advisor to Cardney said that Trump’s intervention was a “gift” for the former central banker.

“Mark Carney and I were at school together,” said the United States representative of Connecticut Jim Himes in X in response to Trump’s message. “If I had told him,” Mark, someday Donald Trump will be President of the United States, and will make you a Prime Minister of Canada, “he would have called the Campus safety to take me home.”

Carney will host the G7 summit in Kananaskis, Alberta Province, in June, at a time, especially among the world leaders with Trump who expected to travel to Canada.

Trump’s return to the White House in January came a couple of weeks after Trudeau left as a liberal leader after almost a decade in power.

Carney, who replaced Trudeau at the helm of the Liberal Party in March, quickly made its mark, disrupting an unpopular carbon tax, which had been one of the main lines of attack in Poilievre in the Liberals.

Trump’s trade war, which began with fans against Canada and Mexico, turned out to be an opportunity for a card.

Old Hockey teams at Harvard and Oxford University, Carney referred to an aggressive position on the ice in response to Trump with the slogan: “The elbows, Canada”.

Chrétien praised Cardney’s performance on the campaign trail. “He remained calm and controlled, for a newcomer who was very good,” he said.

Carney has promised to make Canada the “strongest economy of G7”, although many voters have been frustrated by the rate of growth.

The novice politician, who has spent a three -decades career at Wall Street and directing the central banks, will now have to negotiate with Trump and direct the economy of Canada through a world trade war.

He has promised to reduce the significant interior trade barriers of Canada and form new commercial alliances in Asia and Europe to diversify the economy of Canada far from an excess of confidence in the United States.

Managing the economy through this transition after decades of deep integration with the United States will be a challenge.

“The audience is behind, but political support is usually a diminishing resource,” said Roland Paris, a professor at the University of Ottawa and ex -a Trudeau office. “Many of the promises of CARNEY will require years of concerted effort to realize.”

Carney will have to try to preserve the Canada automobile sector, which is threatened with rates, as well as increase productivity and increase exports of environmental problems, added Paris.

Janice Stein, founding director of the Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy in Toronto, said that anger and fear pushed for Canadians to vote on a Carney, but her campaign could lead to government difficulties.

“Directing” rebels “against the United States is a role that no Canadian Prime Minister can afford to play,” he said, as the links of the economy with America and the integration of supply chains in the countries. “Divorce is simply not possible.”
