Canadians' Choice for Stability Over Disruption
In the recent election, Canadians prioritized stability over disruption, leading to Mark Carney and the Liberals securing a fourth mandate, albeit as a minority government. This decision reflects voters' concerns about external threats, specifically the challenges posed by Donald Trump, as well as domestic issues like affordability and interprovincial trade.
