the liberals justin trudeau's liberal party was 20 to 25 points behind in the polls. it looked like the opposition conservative party would probably win the largest majority government in canadian history. even coming into january, that looked to be the case. then justin trudeau resigned. donald trump was sworn in, and donald trump, of course, has been threatening canada with 25% tariffs. he enacted them last week and then temporarily stopped them at the end of the week, as well as threatening to annex canada, calling canada the 51st state, referring to our prime minister as governor, trudeau and this has galvanized canadians in a way that i haven't seen, perhaps in my lifetime. canadian nationalism is running very, very high at the moment, and the liberal party has staged this remarkable turnaround, even though they don't actually have a new leader yet. >> there's two that are essentially frontrunners. it's the former governor of the bank of canada and the bank of england, mark carney, and also chrystia freeland. i mean, most people assume that mark carney will take

and so he's, he's passed the 1st test to win the leadership of the liberal party. and now really, i think he's just started distance himself from the uh, you know, going prime minister true though in terms of his policies go and, you know, with some of the cabinet ministers too. and if he can do that, i think he has a good chance. he's really uh, truly a read tori or a blue liberal. and now the job is to downplay his is going to global is goldman sachs central banking, past and show that he can be the, the toughest person in the political room to deal with president trump and to deal with all the other challenges we, we have big big challenges that pre date, trump, and they're all there and they're all converging at the same time. and on trump, how big of bass eliza had, i suppose, depends on just how serious donald trump is about and next and kind of. uh uh well, i mean i, i last split a. yeah. i think people started to take that seriously. uh, i don't know if i don't, i don't think uh, president trump king and ix candidate. what means the radically, he could, the

and the liberal party has seen its political fortunes radically changed. the incumbent party looked like that was on the ropes. in february the party reversed a 26 point deficit versus the conservatives and came out two points ahead in polling. this is driven by liberal efforts to respond to trump's threats of tariffs and annexation. speaking after the vote yesterday, carney had this to say to canadians and the united states. the . >> in america, healthcare is a big business. in canada, it is a right. america is a melting pot. america's not canada. and canada never, ever will be part of america in any way, shape or form. >> reporter: no date has yet been set for when carney will take office. >>> it was a bloody weekend in syria, with more than 1300 people killed in an eruption of violence, according to the uk-based syrian observatory for human rights. most of the dead are civilians. the interim president has called for peace amid horrifying reports of death squads rampaging through syria's coastal regions seeking revenge. the observatory says both governmen

now, the liberal party is, is suggested that the service of trying to divide canada, whereas the liberal policy will unite canada again chapter time cl, do 0 also send the survey is assistant professor political science university of toronto. she joins us from toronto and how welcome to that program. so let me ask you this festival that, what does my connie actually bring to the table at this very crucial moment and canadian politics a yeah, it's a great question. i well, he's a techno cracked, so he's bringing something very different than what we're used to in seen from politicians. i the, he, i guess in this case a liberals in particular were united for this type of change. they wanted to. these are on preston and time. so they wanted someone, i knew full with a different type of background. which carnie hans, i to be the one on taking them into the next federal election and to be able to take on donald trump. and this has been quite some time around has never been well the liberal party in the pals. and how has donald trump's aggressive policies towards canada to change the dynamics

canadian prime minister justin trudeau is on his way out, and just a few hours ago, the country's liberal party picked his successor. economist and banker mark carney. he's now expected to lead the party into canada's next federal elections as the conservative party there gains in the polls. nbc's jay gray is at the party convention in ottawa. hi there. good evening from ottawa, where tonight, economist mark carney has been selected as the new leader of canada's liberal party. he takes the place of prime minister justin trudeau, who has said he is stetepping dn just ahead of what's expected to be a very close, very contentious race for that spot. and of course, this all unfolding as the back and forth over tariffs, as well as the trade war between the us and canada is really intensifying. now, canadians protesting outside the us embassy, using their purchasing power to support home made goods and products, pulling american liquor and wine from shelves and sending a clear message to the world about the tariffs and president trump's suggestion that their country could be absorbed as america's 51s

the liberal party is pulling much better now. i, since credo has resigned, but also trump's threats for terrorists and annexed in canada, have also help the liberal party in some sense, as the leaves come a long way. so summer is that a full gone contusion, that it will be mon connie, or does christopher freeland or so have a chance? i think it's highly likely that it will be mark connie, and that is what is expected to given that he has brought in the most support the most fund raising has the most support with respect to members of parliament and the cabinet. and so it is, i, it is expected that he will be the winner tonight. he does, of course, have a strong background when it comes to economics, but perhaps not so strong on the political front. do you have any concerns as to whether he is the right man for taking on donald trump? uh no, not at all. uh he has uh, a lot of experience. uh, economically. i mean there are concerns that he, he's not a, a, a politician. he's not a career politician, he doesn't, he's never knocked on

but his liberal party has recently seen the turnaround. the leadership race has become focused on who can best confront us. president donald trump, since he threatened to impose terrorist and alex kind of tough, she help what times the reports from the capital. so as the canadian flag sales have boomed following donald trump suggestion, but kind of it become the 51st us stage. every flag pin deco patch that we have with any key chain, anything with the counter, the flag on it has been flying off the shelf. trump is also up and the domestic politics. just a few weeks ago, justin food a resigned as leader of the liberal policy. finally acknowledging his deep on popularity. but now canadians a cheer and your mom as he confirms donald trump on the issue of tyrants, even though you're a very smart guy. this is a very dumb thing to do. similarly, his liberal party has rebounded in the polls and have been on track for huge defeats of the next general election of the 9 year as an office. now the main issue is which party is best place to confirm f

what's it going to take for the liberal party to hold on to power, given its weak position right now? >> well, i mean, i think that's going to be very difficult, to be honest. right now the liberals are in power, but they are in a minority position. so they have governed since 2021 with the support of another party, the new democratic party. and they're kind of a smaller left wing party. they were in a kind of a deal with the liberals for two and a half years, where they would support pretty much everything the liberals have done. and so now for for carney and assuming it's carney to move the party from a minority position to one, that's a clear majority, that they wouldn't need anyone else, they they're secure. that would take, you know, flipping a lot of seats and against a very powerful conservative party where even though they don't have the lead that they used to, they're still, you know, a very commanding presence in the polls. i think what it would take is for carney to clearly win the public referendum, which is not real. right. but the referendum in people's minds that he's t

even though you're a very smart guy, this is a very dumb thing to do. similarly, his liberal party has rebounded in the polls and have been on track for huge defeats of the next general election of the 9 year as an office. now the main issue is which party is best place to confront the us president before the trump threats and the trump trolling of canada. and toto began to 50 for a state and government or 2 ago and so forth. it was about the bread and butter issues, inflation, the housing prices, carbon taxes, and the tardies were well placed, their, their messaging was focused on the bread and butter issues. but that's been totally offended now. opposition conservative policy lead up. you probably have had been actively modeling themselves off to donald trump, but no longer seems to be a winning strategy. everything is broken up. every link is broken. donald, 1st, the front runners for the liberal party leadership advocate fighting the trump tower of switch dollar for dollar power retaliation. however, that has been a difference and approach was remote. connie and chrissy or friedlan

the liberal party a month ago. we're projected to have only about $25.00 seats, but now we're more like a $125.00 seats of an election. we're to help today. so things have changed quite a bit. now the 2 front rama is mount connie and chris to freeland. they've got some of the background, so they, they will. so friends, i play, but connie appears to be the front runner according to the polls. what's behind as popularity to think a yes, carney is a widely expected to win the lip little leadership race tonight. and the polls are indicating that he is the best person to take on from the election right now is really about which leader would be the best candidate to win the election in the general election that is about to come up. but also to be able to take on from directly. so she's being seen as the individual who's been able to raise the most fund, has the most support among the cabinet and the members of parliament. he, i mean, he does have a strong background on the economics, which is presumably why people think

canada's liberal party just announcing mark carney has won the race to succeed prime minister justin trudeau as leader of that party. >> in first place. >> the next. >> prime minister of. >> canada, mark carney. >> with. >> 131,674 votes. >> resulting in. >> 29,457 allocated. >> points. >> representing 85.9% of the. >> vote. >> carney will be taking on president trump and his threats to slap canadian products with massive tariffs, something that has infuriated a lot of canadians. let's go straight to cnn's paula newton, live in ottawa for reaction on this. paula, what is carney saying right now? >> well, listen, this race was not very suspenseful. what happens next very much will be jessica. and right now he is trying to lay out his vision again, staying very close to those issues that are most important to canadians. but right now, top of mind for canadians is that trade war that so many are fearful will turn into something so much more. given what donald trump has said himself in terms of the fact that he wants to try and break the canadian economy. let's listen in now, as mark carn

the liberal party elected mark carney. he will replace justin trudeau, who announced his resignation back in january. the new leadership comes as the country deals with president trump's trade war and threat of annexation. for more, let's bring in nbc's matt bodner. good morning, matt. >> reporter: frances, good morning. carney will be coming into power on a landslide victory with 89.9% of his party's leadership vote on sunday. his election as prime minister comes at a critical moment for his country and party. he must call general elections later this year, and the party has seen its fortunes radically changed by antagonism from washington. prior to trump's rhetoric about canada becoming a 51st state, the party looked like it was on the ropes. but it reverd a 26-point deficit, coming out two points ahead in polling. the turn around was driven by liberal efforts to respond to trump's comments on tariffs and annexation. >> the canadian government has rightly retaliated and is rightly retaliating with our own tariffs. in ame

former central banker mark carney was elected on sunday as the liberal party's leader and successor to justin trudeau. among the biggest issues he'll face growing tensions between canada and its southern neighbor. on sunday, he slammed the trump administration's tariff plans and vowed to keep retaliatory tariffs on the u.s. until, quote, the americans show us. respect. >> america is not canada and canada never, ever will be part of america in any way, shape or form. we. look we didn't ask for this fight. we didn't ask for this fight. but canadians are always ready when someone else drops the gloves. so the americans, they should make no mistake in trade, as in hockey canada will win. >> his comments coming as the u.s. president ramps up his trade war and calls for canada to become the 51st state. in an interview that aired sunday, mr. trump said tariffs on some goods from canada planned for april 2nd quote could go up. cnn's paula newton is following developments from ottawa mark carney's win was overwhelming. >> in first place. the next prime minister of canada, mark carney. >> but al

. >> as we know the liberal parties are a picking a new leader, when is your official day as prime minister that will be up too a conversation between the newon leader and myself to figure out what -- how long a transition is needed. it should happen reasonably quickly but there's a lot of thicks to do in a transition like this particularly at this complicated time in the world. >> my last day as pm will be determined once the leader of the liberal party has been selected and it will depend on the time that is also necessary for transition, there are several element that is have to be taken into account reasonably fast. >> sounds like you'll have some time remaining to put in some more actions on this. is one of those things that you're considering attacking oil, gas even if they don't consent to that. >> the most important thing, as i said thes most important thing we can do is ensure that canadians remain united. that's why whatever response individually or collectively we do across the country, we have to make sure that no single part of the country is carrying a greater burden or suffer

he's the one of the 2 front brothers and the liberal party leadership election idea. some people are really scared of canada fighting back the favorite though is not coming from a governor of the bank of canada, a governor of the bank of england and economic adviser to adjust intruder. i'm here to build the strongest economy for all canadians. the 2 of them are essentially trading on their credentials. chrissy or friesland is arguing that she negotiated the canada, us mexico free trade agreement, that she is an experience negotiator tried and tested in the political arena. mark carney, essentially a central banker. he is selling his credentials as someone who understands how economies work, but he has never had any direct experience in politics. well, good morning. freedom says you look out for the middle call from tame the cost of living. however, she's also bedrooms, has been 2 percent of canada's gdp on defense by 2027. she's a foreign policy hawk, often attracting russian president vladimir fusion and a storage supporter of israel county is a relatively little abo

his liberal party anoints a ske successor.s a race between mark carny and christian freeland, a former trudeau deputy. who are wins the race becomes prime minister and has to deal with president trump and the tariff war. >> that was our ed o'keefe in ottawa. we're joined now by canada's ambassador to the united states, kiersten hillman. it's great to have you here. >> thanks for having me. >> you just heard the homeland security secretary say there are conversations with your government. she seemed optimistic that there would be follow-through on fentanyl. does that make you think this threat of tariffs on april 2nd is something that can be managed and avoided? >> well, i hope so. i think that we are in a very good place in our discussions with the u.s. administration on fentanyl. we have invested a lot of new resources. we have given our law enforcement new powers, and we have responded to the requests of the trump administration with respect to cooperative effects and sources. the organized crime and precursers to china. i w

i do think that of all the candidates that he ran against and the liberal party and what he faces now from the conservative party. i do think he's the strongest candidate to face what we're facing. we it's, it's important to note that our economy is been in decline. you know, before trump came to office, our real income per person has been following for over 2 years. we have an affordability crisis, a housing crisis, a health care crisis, productivity crisis. and now we face this profound threat to our prosperity in trade from the trump administration. and so anybody out there on the political scene, mr. carney has by far the most experience of running the bank of canada, the bank of england. he was g 7 deputy of finance us. so he's got the document and more so now we have a general election at some point in the coming months, possibly even weights. and the thing is, as you alluded to just a few months ago with canadians fed up with the liberals, record of governance, the opposition concept is look like a show and it's a different ball game. now, is it a, it is a different ball game b
