Divided Canadian electorate gives Liberals another mandate while leaving every smaller left-leaning party with fewer sea

As results poured in from a seminal election, Canada emerged as a united country looking outward but deeply divided at home.

The governing center-left Liberal Party won its fourth consecutive national election, but fell just short of a majority of seats in parliament.

Just forty-five days on the job, Prime Minister Mark Carney ran hard, not so much against domestic opposition but by targeting Donald Trump. “Who’s willing to stand up for Canada with strong Canadian values?” Carney asked in his victory speech.

Trump was a perfect foil, professing his wish to make Canada “our cherished 51st state” and baiting predecessor Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as “governor.” In response, said Carney: “We are over the shock of American betrayal and have to look after ourselves.”
