The resurgence of Canada’s Liberal Party was as near to a miracle as you can get in modern politics. Its saviour is Prime Minister Mark Carney, a political novice but an accomplished strategist and one of the world’s most respected economists.
However, on the eve of the election, Canada’s Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre continued to cultivate a vigorous political movement, which resulted in the Conservative Party receiving its greatest proportion of the popular vote in decades. Both politicians agreed to forcefully oppose US President Donald Trump’s early, loud, and frequent threats to seize Canada.
Canadians united behind the flag to meet the occasion and the threat, demonstrating extraordinary patriotism. However, they also solidified along the country’s historic left-right dividing lines, exacerbating divisions between east and west, young and elderly, male and female. Many Canadians have expressed a need for strong leadership in the face of the American threat, but they are virtually evenly divided on who is best suited to deliver on that.
“We have a guy down south talking smack about Canada, I think it’s important we have a strong leader to stand up to him, and he needs to show us some respect,” one voter, Elaine Forbes, said as she headed to her Ottawa voting station Monday, ready to support Carney.
