Carney's Liberals sweep Canada by-elections as US trade war rages

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney's Liberal Party won three by-elections, increasing their parliamentary majority amid ongoing trade tensions with the United States. The victories occurred as trade disputes escalated, with the U.S. imposing tariffs on Canadian goods and Canada retaliating with its own counter-tariffs. Carney emphasized that Canadians supported his firm stance against U.S. pressures, citing a recent poll showing 76% approval of his approach. Despite concerns over the trade conflict threatening Canada's export-dependent economy, Carney's leadership has gained traction, particularly among those wary of American influence. His rise to power followed growing public frustration with U.S. trade policies, and his success in securing a parliamentary majority now allows the government to advance economic reforms aimed at reducing reliance on the U.S.
