CThe return of the amazing elections By the liberals A lot will hear outside its borders as well as inside. The ruling ruler of Lazaros ignited a man who was not in voting – although he seized the opportunity to repeat that the country becomes the 51st American state, which implicitly means The voters can elevate it.
By that time it was Already Donald Trump’s threats have led to reverse results. The result of the two was clear from his agenda. For two years, conservatives, Pierre Pollyfer, seemed to be a dead certificate as the upcoming prime minister, as the government of Justin Trudeau attacked issues, including the cost of living, housing and immigration. His party 25 points were built. But within four months, Mr. Trudeau’s resignation, and his warning that Mr. Trump’s statements were “51 state”, was not a joke, and the US tariff imposed the competition. Mr. Poilievre lost his seat. The liberals begin in a fourth term, although this time may be as a minority, in light of the replacement of Mr. Mark Carney.
Trump made political and economic sovereignty in Canada the central issue. Mr. Carney, a member of the international liberal elite that is despised by Mr. Trump, was a man of a crisis: technocrats with experience from the foreign policy that led the central bank in Canada through the great recession and the United Kingdom through the exit of Britain from the European Union.
Mr. Poilievre and Mr. Trump said that the conservative leader was not Maga.

But conservative support has already rose. For the first time in nearly a century, each of them is two main parties in Canada I got more than 40 % of the votes.
Mr. Carne has a lot to celebrate him, but he is limited to maneuvering about difficult terrain: “President Trump is trying to break us so that America can possess us,” as he warned in the victory speech. He knows that Mr. Trump takes advantage of the perceived weakness. But the American president also wounds grievances. Mr. Carney promised to work more closely with the allies in Europe and Asia. for him Diplomatic experience The international communication book will help.
The external economic threat and the inner cost of the living crisis are inseparable. This campaign, thanks to Mr. Trump, placed the center of the nation. But as prime minister, Mr. Carney will also need to address society and address the type of basic problems that led to the victory of Mr. Trump and the similar politicians in thinking elsewhere. He promised to double the construction of homes and create hundreds of thousands of skilled jobs, and he wants to eliminate internal commercial barriers. Opponents may restore that liberals have three periods to achieve their vision.
Other politicians should be careful about drawing lessons from this special competition. Canada faces a unique threat from the United States, although it has an economic crane in addition to weakness. This, however, refused to welcome the American dispute and reject the right -wing populism.
