Canadians headed to the polls in a snap election largely shaped by rising US trade tensions and provocative comments from President Trump about Canada’s sovereignty. Early results suggest Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberal Party won enough seats to form a minority government. This outcome means Trudeau’s administration will remain in power but must collaborate with smaller parties for key legislation. Voter turnout was robust, driven by concerns over economic stability and the future of US-Canada relations. While exact seat counts may shift as final ballots are tallied, the overall picture points to cautious continuity rather than sweeping change.
