Prime Minister of Canada, Mark Carney, said his country would “never” yield to the United States (US) as he declared victory in federal elections early Tuesday 29 April, 2025, after a campaign overshadowed by relentless provocations and steep trade tariffs imposed by President of the United States (US), Donald Trump.
The Leader of the Liberal Party sent out a stunning rebuke to Trump as he delivered a message of unity to Canadians, promising to “represent everyone who calls Canada home.”
Carney said, “As I have been warning for months, America wants our land, our resources, our water, our country. But these are not idle threats. President Trump is trying to break us so that America can own us.
“That will never ever happen.
“We are over the shock of the American betrayal but we should never forget the lessons. We have to look out for ourselves. And above all we have to take care of each other.”
Pierre Poilievre, Conservative opposition leader, conceded defeat early Tuesday. Capping a bad night for his party, he’s also projected to lose the seat he’s held for nearly twenty (20) years.
The 60-year old former Bank of England Chief, continued: “I know people who run some of the world’s largest companies and understand how they work. I know how financial institutions work. I know how markets work … I’m trying to apply that to the benefit of Canada.”
