Canada Election Results 2025: Joe Biden congratulates Mark Carney who says ‘Trump is trying to break us'
Mark Carney is all set become the Candian Prime Minister for a full term. He had replaced Justin Trudeau as Prime Minister after Trudeau announced his resignation in January. Carney took over as the PM after the Liberal Party elected him on March 9.
Mark Carney's Liberal party is poised to win the election for the fourth consequetive term – 'a rarity in Canadian politics,' CBC news reported. However, official announcement on the Canada Election Result is still awaited.
The Liberal share of the vote hovers just below 43 per cent and, as of 12 pm IST. Carney's party is leading or projected elected in about 167 seats. The Conservative vote share stands at about 42 per cent, which is an extremely strong showing for the party but did not translate into the most seats, local reports added.
A party needs to win 172 of Parliament's 343 seats to win the Canadian election and form the new government in the country.
Carney's win came a strong reversal of fortunes in the Candian politics. The Liberals earlier looked headed for a crushing defeat until the US President Donald Trump started attacking Canada's economy and threatening its sovereignty, suggesting it should become the 51st state.
Trump's actions infuriated Canadians and stoked a surge in nationalism that helped the Liberals flip the election narrative and win a fourth-straight term in power.
In a victory speech before supporters in Ottawa, Carney stressed the importance of Canadian unity in the face of Washington's threats. He also said the mutually beneficial system Canada and the US had shared since World War II had ended.
'We are over the shock of the American betrayal, but we should never forget the lessons,' Carney said in his victory speech.
'As I've been warning for months, America wants our land, our resources, our water, our country," Carney said.
"These are not idle threats. President Trump is trying to break us so America can own us. That will never ... ever happen. But we also must recognize the reality that our world has fundamentally changed,' Carney said.

What are mail-in ballots? Why does Donald Trump want to eliminate this traditional election practice?
US President Donald Trump said Monday he would lead a "movement" against mail-in balloting as he sought to eliminate a voting method used by nearly a third of the country ahead of next year's midterm elections. Trump -- who has spent years railing against postal ballots, even though they have benefited his Republicans and he has voted by mail -- said he would sign an executive order to help bring "honesty" to the midterms. "I am going to lead a movement to get rid of MAIL-IN BALLOTS, and also, while we're at it, Highly Inaccurate, Very Expensive, and Seriously Controversial VOTING MACHINES," he posted on his Truth Social platform.

After eggs, Trump now gets entangled in meat — beef prices skyrocket to over $18 a pound
In recent months, Americans are increasingly feeling the strain as grocery bills continue to rise, and beef has become the latest source of stress. Since Donald Trump's second inauguration, economists have warned the households that they would face higher costs soon. Unexpected tariffs have already caused issues to family budgets, and now meat costs, particularly beef, are surging, with premium cuts frequently exceeding $18 per pound. The main reason for raising the cost of beef is largely due to a declining U.S. cattle herd. Fewer cows mean lower production, forcing prices higher at the checkout. Adding to the strain, climate induced droughts have further worsened the scenario , causing damage to pastures and increased feed prices , placing add on burdens on ranchers. Both ground beef and premium cuts have become more expensive, pushing consumers to reconsider their typical grocery consumption. Promises vs. reality MAGA supports Trump citing that grocery inflation worsened under the administration of Biden . Its important to note that, during his 2024 campaign, he repeatedly assured voters he would lower prices. In August, he said, 'When I win, I will immediately bring prices down.' By November, he added, 'A vote for Trump means your groceries will be cheaper.' After winning, he declared: 'When you buy apples, bacon, eggs they would double and triple in price. We're going to bring those prices way down.' Yet for many Americans, grocery bills remain high. Tariffs and policy challenges Economic policies, such as the 50% tariff on Brazilian beef imports, have also contributed to the increase in cost. While these tariffs are intended to protect domestic producers, the extra prices have largely been passed to shoppers. Rising transportation costs and inflation further surrounded the issue, making beef a particularly costliest staple for American households. FAQs: Q1. How high have beef prices risen recently? A1. Premium cuts are regularly exceeding $18 per pound, with some reaching over $50 for ribeye. Live Events Q2. Have grocery bills increased for other items? A2. Yes, eggs, poultry, and other staples have also seen price spikes.
