His applicant Pierre Poinivr, the leader of the conservative party, admitted his defeat and congratulated Karni on the victory in the elections. According to official results in the early morning (local time), the ruling party of Carney reached 43.2 percent of the vote after she calculated about 95 percent of the polling stations, conservatives up to 41.7 percent. Thus, liberals probably get 166 seats in parliament – and thus remain slightly lower than the absolute majority 172.
For a long time, it looked as if the younger and charismatic right -wing populist Pierre Poire would be successful with his promise of a new era for Canada. He attracted voters: inside with a decrease in taxes, the abolition of an unpopular tax on Co₂ and the mantra, which the liberal party of Canada would work in the field. At the same time, Poilievre managed to inspire and mobilize new groups of voters and youth to politics.
But when Donald Trump initiated imperialist sounds in Putin’s style and began to fantasize from Canada as the 51st US state, the mood turned. Trump repeatedly humiliated Justin Trudeau “Governor Trudeau” during his term of office and, thus, rhetorically placed Canada with US governors. At the beginning of its second period of fantasy, the annexation took more and more absurd features.
Canada is all about everything – especially against Trump
Carni is a type of sober, calm technocrat. The Canadian media quoted their statement in the election campaign: “If there was no crisis, I would not be here. Honestly, I should be the most useful during the crisis, I do not freely disappear in the world. ”
As a prime minister, a dizzying tasks are now arising. “America wants our country, our resources, our water. President Trump wants to break us to own us, ”Karney said when he came to the microphone after his elections. He talked about a world that changed overnight.
To form the majority government, liberals 172 out of 343 seats in the lower house will have to win. Most likely, at present, liberals should join the coalition with a lesser partner in the Alliance, such as Social Democrats.
Donald Trump also reminded the Canadians on election day, which is about everything for their country. On his online platform, he asked her to choose a person who has “strength and wisdom to increase his taxes and military power to the highest level of the world for free, and in order to develop them four times, steel, aluminum, energy, energy and all other industrial branches, without tariffs or taxes will be artificially drawn.
Economic problems remain
The border between the United States and Canada has a length of almost 8,900 kilometers and, therefore, the longest between the two countries around the world. Almost eighty percent of the total exports of Canada go to the United States. The customs war damaged Canada more than the United States.
Now there is hope for Mark Karni, Donald Trump to offer his forehead. To do this, he will have to agree with the opposite side. Because, although a wave of patriotism covers throughout the country and asks to buy products made in Canada, the bottom of the facts is different: a serious customs war will turn Canada into a huge economic crisis.
No one can afford it. The Canadian promise of prosperity throughout life and a comfortable life thanks to oil fields and valuable resources is no longer what happened before. The unpopularity of Trudeau and the increase in conservatives were associated with a high cost of life, an increase in rent and the inability to provide their own apartment. If someone speaks with people in the country, many have the feeling that in recent years their quality of life has worsened.
As in the United States, many became victims of an opioid epidemic. The rotation of migrants and the hostility to do anything against climate change, like a country, has increased. Canadians are proud of their social system, their strict laws on weapons, their way of communication with each other, which differs from the political polarization of their American neighbors.
Carni is not a seer and a magician. If at all, he cannot solve all these problems so quickly. But something boring, imported from the financial world, saved Canada from the self-destructive anti-blessing conservative populist populist. First of all, this is good news.
