Canada’s election results are in: Liberal candidate Mark Carney has just been elected Prime Minister.

He defeated conservative candidate Pierre Poilievre.

Here’s the breaking news:

Politico confirmed:

Mark Carney was elected Canada’s prime minister Monday, CBC News and CTV News both projected, with Canadians giving the Liberal leader the mandate he sought to take on President Donald Trump’s tariffs and trade policy.

Carney cemented the Liberals’ fourth-straight term in government, a rare feat in Canadian politics — while holding back the Conservative Party led by Pierre Poilievre. The win shows that voters rejected Trump’s brand of populism — which Liberals argued Poilievre had come to represent.

Carney, who was seen to move the Liberals to the center following the resignation of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, ran on his economic record. He headed up two G7 central banks, worked for more than a decade at Goldman Sachs, and chaired both Brookfield Asset Management and Bloomberg.

He pitched himself as a “crisis manager” who would protect Canada’s economy and broader culture from Trump’s tariffs and apparent expansionist aims. The Liberals were successful in capitalizing on voters’ anxieties about the impact of tariffs on their jobs and cost of living.

On the campaign trail, Carney promised to Trump-proof Canada and unite a country where patriotism bloomed following the president’s expressed desire to absorb it as a 51st state.

In case you don’t know, Mark Carney is basically Trudeau 2.0.

Essentially, Canadians just voted for more of the same.

The same failing economic policies. The same housing crisis. The same immigration problems.

In short, this is not good news for Canada.

It might not be the worst thing in the world for President Trump when it comes to negotiations, though…

Robby Starbuck shared some insight:

Mark Carney has likely won Canada’s election.

Canadians had the chance to vote for a change candidate who could’ve ushered in an era of greatness for Canada but instead they elected Trudeau 2.0 because they don’t like Trump making fun of them.

They played themselves though.

Why? Carney and the Liberals are weak. Trump would rather negotiate with them because while they’re annoying, they’re also weak.

Pierre Poilievre would’ve been tough to negotiate with. Canadians really screwed a golden opportunity.

To the conservatives in Canada stuck with this mess, I’m truly sorry. You just got handed an absolute nightmare with Trudeau 2.0 Mark Carney.

Leftists and the MSM are already busy pushing a narrative that Canadians elected Mark Carney in retaliation against President Trump.

Take, for example, headlines like this:

Or, posts like this:

Or, the way NBC News is reporting on the Canadian election results:

Canadian voters backed Prime Minister Mark Carney’s Liberal Party on Monday, the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. projects, in a national election strongly influenced by President Donald Trump.

The CBC said it was too early to know whether the Liberals would win enough seats to form a majority government, but it projected another term for the party, which has governed Canada for almost a decade.

Only a few months ago, it looked set to be ousted by the opposition Conservatives amid public frustration with soaring inflation, rising immigration and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s approach to Trump, then the president-elect.

Trudeau announced his resignation Jan. 6, two weeks before Trump was inaugurated as president in the United States, after polls showed him struggling with Canadian voters.

Since he returned to office, however, Trump has enraged Canadians with his behavior toward one of his country’s closest allies. His policies and rhetoric — including imposing steep tariffs on Canadian imports and promoting a quixotic plan to make Canada the 51st U.S. state — became the central issue in the Canadian election and helped the Liberals make a remarkable turnaround, closing an almost 20-point gap with the Conservatives in a matter of weeks.

However, I’d like to point out that President Trump isn’t the one who just elected yet another weak, liberal candidate that would sell out Canada in a heartbeat.

This X user had a great, on-point response to that claim:

“Donald Trump caused the Liberals to win in Canada!”

I wasn’t aware Trump walked into voting booths and rigged the vote tallies for Mark Carney?

If Canadians want to re-elect a party that crashed their country’s economy, made housing permanently unaffordable for the average person, and imported millions of hostile foreigners who are now engaged in ethno-religious blood feuds from the other side of the world, that’s on them.

They’ve made their choice. Now let them live with it.
