Mark Carney used his victory speech to claim Donald Trump wanted to “break us” as he led Canada’s Liberal party to a fourth term in office, in a race that was upended by threats and aggression from the US president.
The Liberal triumph capped a miraculous political resurrection and marked a landmark victory for Carney, the former central banker and political novice who only recently succeeded Justin Trudeau as prime minister.

Mirroring a theme of the campaign, Carney told election-night supporters that Trump wanted to “break us, so that America can own us”, adding: “That will never, ever happen,” to shouts from the crowd.
He also gave a stark assessment of a world order once defined by an integrated global trading system with the US at the centre, saying such a system was over, and he pledged to reshape Canada’s relationships with other nations.
“We are over the shock over American betrayal. But we will never forget the lessons,” he said.
The Liberal party in Canada was on life support, heading for an epic beat-down, but then came the FLOSS on his mission to make everyone else in the world despise the United States. It made the Conservatives so unpopular in Canada that even their party leader lost the seat he's held for two decades.

I stated back in 2015, that he was only running to destroy the Republican party.
GOD JOB , MISSION ACCOMPLISHED DON OLD CON MON
It might not have happened if Trump had kept his yap shut, but he's incapable of doing that so thanks Papa Pumpkin!
The opposition party (still in opposition) was running a relentlessly negative "everything is broken" campaign for years and they did not change their message. Their leader (whjo lost his seat) came off looking like a petty little Quisling in waiting.
The new Prime Minister and government has a lot of work to do in diversifying our way away from the near total dependence we have on the US, and we have alot of problems to fix here too (mostly caused by wealth inequality, which is not as bad here but is getting rapidly worse). And the opposition party will be there with its unchanged negative grudge-hoarding leaders, to get in the way at every turn.
has there ever been an election defined by the horrors and idiocy of an elected official NOT from that country? Outside of an actual war, which we're probably going to be in if trump overreacts to this humiliation by raising the tariffs (again) and putting troops on the border to keep his "51st state" threats ongoing.
The whole 51st state thing is not going to happen as the Canadians
have made it clear "we do not want that" and we as americans don't
need it. ITs just another FLOSS clusterfuck. The GOP has to stop
their efforts to preserve itself by gaming the elections. And Heritage
foundation needs to be treated like a hostile group, more os by the
rethugs.
The Canadian people and government need to take all the actions
needed to preserve themselves as a healthy economy as FLOSS
has hurt everyone, especially USA economically.
Eck!
Now says he should be and Lindsay seconds Trump being Pope. He'll do for the conclave what he did for Canada.
