Carney’s Liberals win 3 special elections in Canada amid trade clash with US

The Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney's Liberal Party won three special elections, increasing their parliamentary majority as tensions with the United States over trade issues escalate. The victories included a seat in French-speaking Quebec previously held by the Conservatives, and two others in Ontario and British Columbia. Carney praised the results, emphasizing the importance of voter support during a critical period for Canada. Relations between Canada and the U.S. have deteriorated after failed trade negotiations, with Carney accusing American officials of threatening Canada's trade agreements and cultural identity. In response, Ottawa imposed counter-tariffs following U.S. tariffs on Canadian goods.
