Mark Carney won the Canadian elections, and expected the national broadcaster, but his parliamentary majority is suspended in the scale after a campaign dominated by the country’s relationship with the United States during the era of Donald Trump.

Carney was on the right path to win the largest number of seats and the right to form a government where the polls were closed in most parts of the country on Monday, according to the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.

However, whether he can request a parliamentary majority or he will have to rely on other parties to rule in the management of minorities that have been very close to contact on Monday night.

At 1030 pm in Toronto, the liberals won 151 seats in the 343 -seat House of Commons, and the conservatives had won 119, according to CBC, and the Carney Party was in a leadership position to form a minority government at least.

The result represented an amazing recovery for the liberals, who were on their way to the loss of power until Justin Trudeau, the Prime Minister for nearly a decade, resigned as a party leader this year and replaced Kareni in March.

His victory will also be received all over the world as a sign that moderate international policy can succeed in the Trump era.

Carney managed the central bank in Canada during the 2008 financial crisis and England Bank during the exit of Britain from the European Union, and indicated his experience as a preparation to deal with the economic turmoil resulting from the American president.

Goldman Sachs and Brokefield Executive, who first entered electoral policy in January, must manage monetary negotiations with the largest trading partner in Canada and mobilize the global effort to reduce the damage caused by Trump’s commercial policy.

The liberals have benefited from a national increase in the confrontation of Trump’s tariff for Canada and mocking them to become the “51st State” of the United States, as it made Carney a challenge to Trump the issue of the campaign.

“This is Canada, and we decide what we are doing here,” the Prime Minister said in his closing message to the country before a vote on Monday.

When Trump’s tariff became the central issue of the campaign, Carney told the voters that the ancient Canada’s relationship with the United States had ended and pledged to enter the “extensive re -negotiation” of the commercial deal between countries.

Pierre Boelifer, who led opinion polls for several years until Trudeau resigned and the US President has risen his attacks on Canada, in recent weeks to shake the liberal efforts to draw him as a neighboring popularity and who will not be able to confront the American president.

The new Democratic Party, which supported the Trudo minority government in parliament, was about to suffer from great losses, as voters moved to the two main parties.
