The Trump Spoiler Move That May Be Carney's First Big Test
from Mallen Baker: Faultlines · host Mallen Baker
Mark Carney's Liberal Party has won the Canadian election. It was close, but still extraordinary that he was able to turn around the massive deficit the party originally had with Pierre Poilièvre's Conservatives. And he did so facing a barrage of social media disinformation as we've seen in other MAGA-involved elections. Now, he faces a Trump who remains fixated on Canada becoming the 51st State. He will, as a first step, be seeking allies amongst the other democracies worldwide. But Trump may just have a spoiler he will be trying to play to frustrate that attempt. Let's discuss.
