YouTube Description
as posted by the channelIn a stunning turnaround, Mark Carney’s Liberal Party has won Canada’s federal election, according to broadcasters in the country.
Fuelled by threats from Donald Trump of annexation, Justin Trudeau’s party overcame a massive Conservative lead to remain in power.
After polls closed, the Liberals were projected to win more of parliament's 343 seats than the Conservative Party, though it was not immediately clear if they would win an outright majority or would need to rely on one or more smaller parties to form a government and pass legislation.
The Liberals were headed for a crushing defeat until the American president started attacking Canada's economy and threatening its sovereignty, suggesting it should become the 51st state.
Speaking as the polls closed, Carney offered a stark warning regarding Trump's intentions.
"President Trump is trying to break us so that America can own us - that will never, ever happen," he declared.
LBC's Washington Correspondent Simon Marks joins Shelagh Fogarty to assess Trump's impact on the Canadian election.
