Carney's Liberals sweep three Canadian by-elections amid US trade war
–
Neutral summary
Prime Minister Mark Carney's Liberal Party swept three special elections on Monday, strengthening his parliamentary majority as a trade war with the United States escalates. The Liberals won Chicoutimi-Le Fjord in Quebec from the Conservatives, plus two districts in Ontario and British Columbia. Carney vowed to match US tariffs 'dollar for dollar' and tied resuming trade talks to an end to insults from the Trump administration, including Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's mockery of Canadian military cadets. One lawmaker called the victories 'a message' that Carney 'has the support of the Canadian people'.
