Prime Minister Mark Carney’s Liberals won a federal election Monday, the country’s public broadcaster, the CBC, projected, an extraordinary comeback that was fueled in part by President Donald Trump’s tariff policies and attacks on Canada.

Just months ago, Carney’s party was headed for a potentially historic drubbing. It was not yet clear whether the Liberals would rule a minority or majority government as votes continued to be counted.

Amid the U.S. president’s trade war and threats to annex its northern neighbor, voters flocked to Carney — a political novice, who led the Bank of Canada during the global financial crisis and the Bank of England during Brexit. He pitched himself as a steady hand at a destabilizing time.

    Finally some good news.

    An honest and “Thank You!” from my side towards Donald Trump!

    Without his helpful and ruthless support, this victory would not have been possible!
