Canada Election Results 2025: Joe Biden congratulates Mark Carney who says ‘Trump is trying to break us'
Mark Carney is all set become the Candian Prime Minister for a full term. He had replaced Justin Trudeau as Prime Minister after Trudeau announced his resignation in January. Carney took over as the PM after the Liberal Party elected him on March 9.
Mark Carney's Liberal party is poised to win the election for the fourth consequetive term – 'a rarity in Canadian politics,' CBC news reported. However, official announcement on the Canada Election Result is still awaited.
The Liberal share of the vote hovers just below 43 per cent and, as of 12 pm IST. Carney's party is leading or projected elected in about 167 seats. The Conservative vote share stands at about 42 per cent, which is an extremely strong showing for the party but did not translate into the most seats, local reports added.
A party needs to win 172 of Parliament's 343 seats to win the Canadian election and form the new government in the country.
Carney's win came a strong reversal of fortunes in the Candian politics. The Liberals earlier looked headed for a crushing defeat until the US President Donald Trump started attacking Canada's economy and threatening its sovereignty, suggesting it should become the 51st state.
Trump's actions infuriated Canadians and stoked a surge in nationalism that helped the Liberals flip the election narrative and win a fourth-straight term in power.
In a victory speech before supporters in Ottawa, Carney stressed the importance of Canadian unity in the face of Washington's threats. He also said the mutually beneficial system Canada and the US had shared since World War II had ended.
'We are over the shock of the American betrayal, but we should never forget the lessons,' Carney said in his victory speech.
'As I've been warning for months, America wants our land, our resources, our water, our country," Carney said.
"These are not idle threats. 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,' Carney said.

Melting pot bubbling
New polls show majority of Americans are now against harsh action on immigration. That's good news 'Our policy to people born elsewhere should be clear: Enter by the law, or leave,' Trump wrote in his 2000 book, The America We Deserve. He won his second term after promising voters 'the largest deportation programme in American history', and started his presidency by signing an executive order titled 'Protecting the American People Against Invasion'. Trump struck a chord because US does have a major illegal immigration problem. There were over 11mn unauthorised residents by 2022, and roughly 1 in every 15 was Indian. India got a taste of his crackdown in Feb when the first Globemaster with 104 deportees touched down in Amritsar. And such flights have continued, with an average of 14,700 deportations worldwide every month. The number sounds big, but Obama was deporting 36,000 a month in 2013. What's different about Trump, though, is the noise and severity – people shamed and transported in cuffs. And America is sick of it, new polls this month show. A Gallup survey found that only 38% of Americans now support deporting all illegal immigrants, down from 47% last year. In fact, 78% are all for letting them become citizens. Why? Because the ordinary American recognises that the vast majority of illegal immigrants, who have lived for years in America without causing trouble, are useful. Now, a CNN poll also shows the majority of Americans (55%) think Trump has gone too far on deportations. They don't want any more detention centres, and 59% are against detaining illegal immigrants who have lived in America for years. Trump should pay heed to these voices, especially when the mood against immigration in his own Republican camp is changing fast – only 48% now want less immigration, as against 88% last year. Throwing out millions of settled workers would be disruptive for the US economy, and also for their home countries. Indians who have invested their wealth and time to build a life in America, after entering without authorisation, may draw some hope from these developments. So can students and professionals who have been waiting to study and work in America legally. And if Trump relents, America can go back to being the land of opportunity.

A warmer welcome?
More and more Americans now believe immigrants deserve a chance, not handcuffs. America has always been called a melting pot—a place where people from all over the world come to build a better life. But for the past few years, things have been really tough for immigrants, especially those who entered the U.S. without permission. U.S. President Donald Trump made it one of his biggest promises to kick out millions of undocumented immigrants. In fact, he started his second term with a strict plan: 'Come legally or leave.' Some people agreed with him because there is a real problem—over 11 million people were living in the U.S. without proper papers by 2022, and some were even from India. In February, a big plane landed in Amritsar with 104 Indians who had been sent back from the U.S. Even though deportations like these keep happening—about 14,700 every month—Trump's way is seen as especially harsh and loud, often involving handcuffs and shame. But now, something surprising is happening. Many Americans are changing their minds. New polls say most people don't want such harsh punishments anymore. A Gallup survey showed only 38% support mass deportation, down from 47% last year. And 78% of Americans now believe immigrants who've lived peacefully in the U.S. for years should be allowed to become citizens. Why the change? Because people see that most immigrants help—they work hard, follow rules, and add value. A CNN poll showed 55% think Trump has gone too far, and 59% are against jailing people just for being in the U.S. without papers—especially if they've been living there for a long time without causing harm. Even Trump's own political group, the Republicans, is showing a shift: only 48% want less immigration now, compared to 88% last year. This change in attitude gives hope—especially to Indians who've built lives in the U.S. or students dreaming of studying there. If America listens to its people and softens its stance, it could once again be seen as the land of opportunity, not fear.

Ontario Doubles Down on ‘Buy Canada' Message as Angry Residents Boycott US
(Bloomberg) -- Ontario Premier Doug Ford renewed a call to buy 'Canadian-made everything' to heap pressure on the US to negotiate a trade deal and lift tariffs. Ford, who leads Canada's biggest province and is hosting a meeting of premiers this week, said the country should lean into its status as America's biggest customer. Prime Minister Mark Carney will make an appearance at the conference on Tuesday for a huddle with the provincial leaders. Carney is sending Dominic LeBlanc, the minister responsible for Canada-US trade, to Washington this week to negotiate with US President Donald Trump's administration, which has threatened a 35% tariff on some Canadian goods if there's no deal by Trump's Aug. 1 deadline. But the president and his officials have sent mixed signals about whether they want to sign agreements or simply proceed with unilateral tariff rates on trading partners. 'We're encouraging all provinces and territories: start buying Canadian-made vehicles, start buying Canadian-made everything — that will hurt more than anything at all,' Ford told reporters on Monday as he arrived at Deerhurst Resort near Huntsville, a picturesque town at the heart of Ontario's Muskoka region. Canadians say they're ramping up their boycott of US travel and products in response to the tariffs, according to the Bank of Canada's quarterly survey of households released Monday. About 55% of respondents said they're spending less on vacations to US destinations, and roughly 63% said they're pulling back on purchases of American goods. 'We're their number one customer. We buy more products from the US than Japan, China, Korea, the UK and France combined. So we are an economic powerhouse and we don't have to take a back seat to anyone,' he said, adding he wants his province to begin making products such as steel beams used in construction and aluminum cans for soda and beer. Trump hiked tariffs on foreign steel and aluminum imports to 50% in June. Canada's steel industry has already cut jobs and seen shipments slashed. Carney's government announced a plan last week to curb imports of foreign steel to help domestic producers — though one influential steel executive said it doesn't go nearly far enough. Ford's government pledged C$1.3 billion ($950 million) in May to help manufacturers by beefing up a tax credit for Ontario-made products. The government says about 830,000 people in the province work in manufacturing, which represents about 10% of jobs. Canada's premiers have largely struck a united front in the face of Trump's trade war, and their summer retreat is set to be dominated by discussions on how to increase trade between the provinces and advance major infrastructure projects, such as ports, to bolster the country's economic independence. Carney and some provincial leaders appeared resigned to at least some level of tariffs on Canadian shipments to the US, despite the existing trade accord that Trump signed in his first term that largely allows tariff-free trade between the US, Mexico and Canada. The prime minister said last week there's little evidence Trump will cut a deal that completely drops tariffs. Arriving at the resort on Monday, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith said she hopes sector-specific tariffs will be minimized as much as possible, while Quebec's Francois Legault said it's too soon to say whether it's inevitable that some tariffs remain. 'We'll see what we can get on August 1st. Of course, the ideal situation would be no tariffs,' Legault told reporters. Whatever the agreement is, he said, 'we need to have assurance that we'll keep this agreement for three, five years. We need to have an economy where the companies know what's happening in six months and 12 months from now.' More stories like this are available on
