Mark Carney and the Liberals have achieved remarkable victory in the Canadian election, and it seems to be with the strong help of Donald Trump.
The president's continued reliance on the northern U.S. neighbors and mocked the 51st state in the United States since returning to office in January, which is related to a huge reversal of the centre-left party.
Carney was almost single-focused on his neighbors, which was reflected in his victory speech. After warning the United States about wanting Canadian land and resources, Carney declared: "President Trump is trying to break us so that the United States can have us. This will never happen."
Prior to Trump's return to power, Pierre Poilievre's Conservative Party had been looking like an indispensable foundation in voter preference polls on the Canadian economy and the then-leader Justin Trudeau's 10-year free government.
The past year has brought devastating disasters to the current global government, with political parties failing or total control - the United States, Britain, Japan, Germany, France and India are the most outstanding examples.
This Canadian election broke the trend as liberals forced Trudeau to resign and chose a political outsider, former Bank of England chief Carney as leader.
His efforts to opposition parties constantly describe the real threat Trump poses not only to their economy, but also to Canada's sovereignty.
Although Trump does not seem to have the same disgust that Carney clearly holds for Trudeau, his political and policy interests and Canada's policy interests now seem doomed to continue to diverge.
There are already signs that Canada sees Europe more as a reliable partner than Trump’s America, a move that will surely anger U.S. leaders.
Carney has promised to quickly start new trade talks with Trump in an attempt to avoid being on Canadian auto exports that will be available on May 3.
If a full-scale trade war breaks out, the Canadian economy depends largely on exports to the United States, and Carney (through training and senior central bank economist) promises that he will do everything he can to prevent Canada from doing his best.
Meanwhile, Trump entered Canadian politics again on Monday, while voters were once again called the U.S.-Canada border when they voted, saying that as a "treasure" American country, the country would be better.
Carney suddenly took on political power, when his country was facing a generational challenge from its superpower neighbor. Many world leaders are still studying how to deal with Donald Trump during their second term, but few will face this test.
But no one should expect liberals to express gratitude to U.S. leaders or to soften Trump’s remarks, even though he said last month that he prefers the Liberal Prime Minister. (He will continue to say he really doesn't care who wins.)
Instead, more results are possible – more sharp irony about Canada’s joining the United States, more threats of trade wars and a more willingness to establish long-term ties and agreements with its northern neighbors.
Ironically, Trump’s dispatched focus on Canada could lead him to deny that he was a northern neighbor, if not a cordial spirit, at least a politician, rather than liberal Carney, compared to his populist conservative priorities.
While veteran politician Poilievre will never be mistaken for the American businessman-turned president, they have some similarities—one similarities—a desire to lower government, lower taxes and prune social services, a desire to promote fossil fuel production and a desire to both mock them “awaken” the leftist culture.
In the United States and around the world, many believe that the conservative victory of this election is a new signal that last year’s Trump victory was not just a strange event in the United States. It will represent the global movement toward its culturally conservative, anti-democratic, anti-immigrant and pro-working class political brands.
