Reference Message Network reported on April 29 according to AFP's report on April 29, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney led the Liberal Party to win the Canadian general election and was re-elected as prime minister. Carney vowed on April 29 to defeat the United States in the trade war initiated by Trump.

After this campaign dominated by Trump's tariffs and annexation threats came to an end, Carney promised to pave a "new way forward" in a world newly transformed by America's hostility toward free trade.

"We have calmed down from the shock of betrayal from the U.S., but we should never forget these lessons," Carney said while delivering his victory speech. He entered politics earlier this year after leading both the Canadian and British central banks.

"We will win this trade war and build the strongest economy in the G7," he said.

Reportedly, Carney, who just replaced Trudeau as prime minister in March, convinced voters that his experience in handling economic crises made him the ideal candidate to deal with Trump.

On April 29, Canadian Conservative Party leader Poilievre acknowledged defeat and promised to cooperate with the Liberal Party to counter Trump.

According to a Reuters report on April 29, the Liberal Party led by Canadian Prime Minister Carney retained its ruling power in the general election. The Liberals won or led in 167 electoral districts (i.e., obtained 167 seats), followed by the Conservatives with 145 seats, and vote counting is still ongoing.

It was reported that the Liberal Party needed to win 172 out of 343 seats in the House of Commons to gain a majority government and govern without support from smaller parties.

In his victory speech delivered in Ottawa, Carney said: "Our old relationship with the United States - one built on ever-increasing integration - has ended. Since World War II, Canada has relied on an open global trade system supported by the U.S. Although not perfect, this system has helped our country achieve prosperity over decades. Now this system has ended." He said: "This is regrettable, but it is also the new reality we must face."

Carney said that the coming months would be full of challenges requiring sacrifices. He had previously pledged to take a tough stance on Washington regarding import tariffs and stated that Canada needs to reduce its dependence on the U.S.

According to an Associated Press report, the Liberal Party led by Canadian Prime Minister Carney won the federal House of Commons election, thanks to President Trump's annexation threats and trade war.

It was reported that the Liberal Party was once on the verge of a crushing defeat until President Trump began attacking the Canadian economy, threatening its sovereignty, and hinting that Canada should become the 51st state of the United States. Trump's actions infuriated Canadians and triggered a surge in nationalism, which ultimately helped the Liberal Party reverse the election situation and achieve consecutive fourth-term governance.

In his victory speech delivered to supporters in Ottawa, Carney emphasized the importance of maintaining unity in the face of Washington's threats. He also reiterated a point he held during the campaign: the mutually beneficial system shared by Canada and the U.S. since World War II has come to an end.

Carney said: "As I have warned for months, the U.S. wants our land, our resources, our water, and our nation. These are not empty threats. President Trump is trying to destroy us so that the U.S. can control us. This will never happen - never. But we must also recognize a reality: our world has undergone fundamental changes."
