Okay sooo, Canada literally just had its 2025 election, and guess what? Mark Carney—yes, that super chill former Bank of Canada and Bank of England guy—just totally became Prime Minister! Like, the Liberals clinched 168 seats (just two short of a full-on majority, ugh so close), but it was still enough to win. Everyone’s calling it a comeback, and honestly? It kinda is.
Now let’s spill the tea on what this actually means.
First off, RIP Conservative Vibes
The Conservative Party? Babes, they’re spiraling. Their leader Pierre Poilievre legit lost his own seat in Carleton—ouch. He was all in with the whole Trump-style vibes, you know? Super populist, anti-woke, and kinda obsessed with gold or whatever. But, like, Canadians were not into that energy this year. He basically went from “future PM?” to “is he okay?” in one election night.
Um, the U.S. Drama Was Kinda the Plot Twist
So here’s the plot: U.S. President Donald Trump (yeah, he’s back) got all up in Canada’s face with talk about tariffs and even—brace yourself—like, annexing parts of Canada. Like, calm down sir, we’re not a reality show prize. That totally backfired and made Canadians wrap themselves in maple leaf flags and be like, “Excuse me, no.” People seriously rallied behind Carney, who was giving major “don’t mess with us” energy.
What Now?
Mark Carney is probs gonna try to, like, chill out Canada’s vibes with the U.S. but also not let them push us around. Think: strong, independent country energy. Expect more focus on trade with Europe and Asia, and less being America’s sidekick.
Also? His win kinda reboots the whole Liberal brand—post-Trudeau, post-crisis, post-everything. Carney’s giving major “steady hand meets global glam” vibes, and everyone from Bay Street to Berlin is watching.
