Nastiness 'doesn't travel well': Trump ripped after shock election results in Canada - AlterNet [View all]

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, who rallied his country against the United States President Donald Trump's threats to annex the country and make it the 51st U.S. state, won federal elections early Tuesday.

The Liberal Party is likely to win enough seats in the House of Commons to form a government in Canada and Carney will remain the country's prime minister.

“As I have been warning for months, America wants our land, our resources, our water, our country. But these are not idle threats. President Trump is trying to break us so that America can own us,” Carney said following his victory. “That will never ever happen.”

Conservative opposition leader Pierre Poilievre conceded defeat Tuesday.

Political commentators and journalists took to social media to react to the surprising election results, noting that the Liberal Party was expected to lose the election but managed to secure a victory because it challenged Trump's threats against Canada.
