The Canadian elections in Canada are all about Trump and his ‘unjustified trade actions and his threats to our sovereignty’
New Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney And his conservative opponent said US President Donald Trump must respect the sovereignty of Canada while on Sunday they started their election campaign against background of trade war and Trump threats of annexation.
Carney announced a five -week election campaign before voting on April 28.
“We are facing the most significant crisis of our lives because of the unjustified trade actions of President Trump and his threats to our sovereignty,” Carney said.
“President Trump claims that Canada is not a real country. He wants to break us that America could own us. We won’t let that happen,” he added.
The administrative liberals seemed to have been ready for the historic defeat this year, until Trump declared a trade war. He has repeatedly said that Canada should become 51.
Trumps almost daily attacks on Canadian sovereignty have angry Canadians and brought to aan increase in Canadian nationalismThis is the amplifier of liberal survey numbers.
“They want our resources. They want our water. They want our land. They want our country. Never,” Carney said at a rally in Newfoundland.
An election campaign for 343 seats or district in the Municipality House will take 37 days. Although other parties are being driven, liberals and conservatives are the only two who have the opportunity to form a government. The party that commands mostly in Parliament, alone or with the support of another party, will form the next government and its leader will be the Prime Minister.
Carney replaced Justin’s Trudeau, whichannounced his resignationIn January, but she remained in power until the liberal party chose a new leader after the lead.
Opposition Conservatives hoped to fight Trudeau, whose popularity decreased as the price of food and apartments increased, and immigration increased. But after a decade of bilateral stability, voting is expected to focus on who is best equipped to deal with Trump.
Carney said the choice for Canadians is “Canadian Trump or the Government that is united.”
“Canadians are always ready when someone else lowers gloves,” Carney said in a hockey reference. “In this trade war, just like in hockey, we will win.”
On April 2, Trump put 25% of Tariffs on steel and aluminum steel and aluminum aluminum and threatens all tariffs on all Canadian products – as well as all US trade partners.
Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre is Carney’s main challenger. Party and Poilievre went on a major victory in the Canada election all the way to Trump’s threats for trade and annexationbelittled them.
Prime Minister Alberta Danielle Smith, a conservative ally, said Poilievre would be “very synchronized” with a “new direction in America”.
“The content of this interview is very bad news for conservatives because the stronger narrative of liberals about Pierre Poilievre and his perceived ideological vicinity with Donald Trump,” said Daniel Béland, a political science professor at McGill University in Montreal.
Poilievre said he would confront Trump.
“I will insist that the president recognizes the independence and sovereignty of Canada. I will insist on stopping the tariffin of our nation,” he said as he launched his campaign.
“I know many people are worried, angry and anxious. And for good reason as a result of the president’s unacceptable threats to our country,” Poilievre said.
Carney still didn’t have a phone call with Trump, which may not happen until the choice now. Trump mocked Trudeau, calling him a governor but had not yet mentioned Carney’s name.
“Trump has to recognize that Canada is a sovereign country,” Carney said. “He has to say that, he has to accept that before we can discuss the trade agreement. … Let’s just say there is no planned meeting.”
Carney, 60, was the head of the Canada bank during the 2008 financial crisis. In 2013, he became the first noncititizen of the United Kingdom to run the Bank of England, helping to manage the influence of Brexit.
Carney, a political novice, said that the Canadians wanted to change and that he had moved the liberal party to the right, announcing Sunday’s reduction in the middle class tax and abolishing Trudeau’s signature carbon tax and reversing taxes on capital profit.
Poilievre, 45, has been a stronghold for years, a politician is in a career and a populist of fire that says he will first put “Canada”. Elon Musk, who plays an integral role in Trump’s administration, supported him and praised him.
