Mark Carney has announced that he will sit down to negotiate with Trump as “two sovereign nations”, but added that Canada “has many, many other options besides the US to achieve prosperity”
The Canadian Prime Minister said Tuesday that the country should never forget what he described as a betrayal of the United States during the victory speech in legislative elections, before supporters, in the capital Otavia.
“Our old relationship with the United States is over,” because US President Donald Trump “is trying to destroy us to control us,” Mark Carnery said, asking Canada to join the “difficult months to be avised, which will demand sacrifices.”
Trump “wants to separate us, but it will never happen,” he proclaimed Carry. “The United States want our land, our resources, our water, our country, and these are not hollow threats,” he added.
“We are facing a new reality; we have overcome the shock of US betrayal. But we should never forget the lesson: we need to take care of us and, above all, to take care of each other,” said Carney.
The politician has announced that he will sit down to negotiate with Trump as “two sovereign nations”, but added that Canada “has many, many other options beyond the US to achieve prosperity.”
The head of government spoke before the final results of the elections were known.
According to projections, the liberal party will achieve the largest number of deputies in Parliament (165), but will fall short of the 172 necessary for a majority.
Carry promised to govern “with all parties, all territories and civil society”, in a message that aims to strengthen national unity.
One of the most important messages was for Quebeque voters, whose support, to the detriment of the pro-independence block, was decisive in ensuring the victory of the liberal party.
“During this campaign, the Quebequenses opened my doors and gave me confidence. I am deeply moved and therefore I want to thank you,” he explained in French.
“The French language and the Quebequense culture define this country, and I will defend them tirelessly,” said Carry.
The economist promised to rule “for all Canadians” because “it’s time to end the divisions and resentments of the past.”
In alluding to the terrible housing scarcity, Carney promised to “build a lot, much more houses every year with an entirely new housing industry using Canadian technology, channel qualified workers and canadian wood”, as well as promising revitalizing the country’s industry.
Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre recognized today’s victory and promised that he will continue to lead the party in an opposition that will be responsible for the government.
45-year-old Poilievre has been proud to have achieved the best party result since 1988-projections have been given 147 places-but acknowledged that “changes take time and work.”
