Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney's Liberals retained power in the country's election on Monday, but fell short of the majority government he had wanted to help him negotiate tariffs with U.S. President Donald Trump.

The Liberals are projected to win more of Parliament’s 343 seats than the Conservatives, though it wasn’t clear yet if they would win an outright majority, which would allow them to pass legislation without needing help.

Conservatives once had a 25-point lead ahead of Canada's next election. That lead has since vanished. Experts say Trump's actions may changed the course of the election.

Canadian Prime Minister and Liberal leader Mark Carney wrapped up his campaign on a somber note on Sunday after at least 11 people died when a man drove through a crowd at a Filipino community festival in Vancouver.

MISSISSAUGA, Ontario — Donald Trump cast a long shadow over Canada’s national election — and many Canadian voters noticed. In his first 100 days back in the White House, the U.S. president has lobbed barbs at America’s northern neighbor, levied tariffs on Canadian goods and talked about making Canada the 51st state .

It had many Canadian voters thinking about Trump and how the parties on the ballot would respond to him. Prime Minister Mark Carney’s Liberals won over Conservative opposition leader Pierre Poilievre, a dramatic reversal of fortune credited largely to Trump.
