Part 3/4:
As tensions rise, outgoing Prime Minister Justin Trudeau affirmed that Canada would not capitulate, stating, “we are a country that will be diplomatic when we can but fight when we must.” With Trudeau expected to officially step down within days, all eyes turn to Carney to set the tone for the Liberal Party moving forward.
Once Carney is sworn in as Prime Minister, reports suggest he is contemplating calling a swift general election, potentially in late April or early May, to solidify his leadership. The Conservative Party has been gaining traction, with expectations of a landslide victory due to growing fatigue over nine years of Liberal governance. However, current public focus on the looming trade war may shift voters' perspectives away from past Liberal performance.
