Canada’s Liberal Party is projected to win a fourth consecutive election, giving a mandate to former central banker Mark Carney after a campaign in which he pledged to boost economic growth and stand up to US President Donald Trump in a trade war.

The Liberals’ victory is a remarkable one for a party headed for defeat at the start of this year, though with votes still being counted, they have yet to secure a parliamentary majority.

The Liberal leader has steered his party to an unprecedented turnaround—facing down Trump and Pierre Poilievre, writes Stephen Maher.
