Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney took aim repeatedly at President Donald Trump in his victory speech after his Liberal Party won Canada’s federal election.
“As I’ve been warning for months, America wants our land, our resources, our water, our country. These are not idle threats,” he said.
“President Trump is trying to break us so America can own us. That will never, ever happen. But we also must recognize the reality that our world has fundamentally changed.”
Why It Matters
The Liberal Party’s win marks a stunning turnaround in their fortunes, fueled by Trump’s annexation threats and trade war.
The party had appeared to be heading for a crushing defeat until Trump attacked Canada’s economy and threatened its sovereignty, suggesting it should become the 51st U.S. state.
Trump’s actions angered Canadians and stoked a surge in nationalism, helping the Liberals to flip the narrative and win a fourth straight term in power.
What To Know
In his speech before supporters in Ottawa, Carney emphasized the importance of unity in the face of threats from Washington.
“We are over the shock of the American betrayal, but we should never forget the lessons,” he said.
