Canada’s Liberals secure three by-election victories after Trump trade clash

  • Mark Carney’s Liberal Party secured three federal by-election victories.
  • 173 seats restored the party’s House of Commons majority.
  • Washington moved to impose 50% tariffs; Carney vowed retaliation from Sept. 8.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney’s Liberal Party secured three federal by-election victories, restoring the party to 173 seats in the 343-member House of Commons, one more than the minimum needed for a majority. The Liberals retained Beaches-East York and North Vancouver-Capilano while taking Chicoutimi-Le Fjord from the Conservative Party. Liberal Daniel Gobeil won the Quebec district with 51.3% of the vote, while Tanveer Shahnawaz and Braeden Caley won in Ontario and British Columbia, respectively. Analysts and political panelists attributed part of the result to a national rally around Carney’s government as Washington moved to impose 50% tariffs on key Canadian goods. Carney said voters had endorsed his government’s plan and pledged dollar-for-dollar retaliation beginning Sept. 8, while continuing efforts to diversify Canada’s international trade.
