Despite ongoing trade tensions, tariffs, and diplomatic disputes with the U.S., Carney&#8217;s Liberal party has solidified its majority in the Canadian House of Commons, signaling an inclination among Canadians to prioritize sovereignty and a tough stance against U.S. policies. The results suggest that Canadian voters currently favor a stance of independence and guard their national interests amidst strained U.S.-canada relations.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Mark Carney\u2019s Liberals swept three special elections Monday, and they did it by running against the United States.<\/p>\n<p>They held Beaches-East York in Toronto and North Vancouver-Capilano in British Columbia.<\/p>\n<p>They also flipped Chicoutimi-Le Fjord in Quebec, a Conservative seat since 2018.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/canada-liberals-carney-special-election-12cb92c1b50ffe6dcfc8a8278beefcd7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Associated Press<\/a> said the elections helped to confirm Carney\u2019s stand against President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n<p>Carney said voters expressed trust in \u201cour government\u2019s plan.\u201d Liberal MP Hedy Fry told CBC that America was \u201cgetting a message.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The message is that picking a fight with Washington still sells in Canada.<\/p>\n<p>Trade talks died Aug. 21. The United States put 50 percent tariffs on about $20 billion in Canadian goods after talks failed, and Ottawa answered with tariffs of its own.<\/p>\n<p>Trump has needled Canada as a 51st state and renamed Lake Ontario \u201cLake America.\u201d Carney has used that as fuel: Europe first, less dependence on the American customer who actually buys Canadian aluminum and dairy.<\/p>\n<p>But Quebec is not a campus protest district. It is plants and farms in the crosshairs of the trade war.<\/p>\n<p>Conservatives collapsed to about 13 percent and third place there, the Associated Press reported.<\/p>\n<p>Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre was supposed to be the adult alternative. Voters in that riding chose the Davos banker who would rather lecture Trump than close a deal.<\/p>\n<p>By-elections are small. Two seats were already Liberal.<\/p>\n<p>This was not a national referendum. It was a warning.<\/p>\n<p>The one seat that should have punished Carney rewarded him instead. Anti-Trump politics is not a Liberal hobby. It is a turnout machine.<\/p>\n<p>Carney now has 173 seats in a 343-seat House. He has a majority and no reason to blink.<\/p>\n<p>Canada has lived for decades under the American security umbrella while lecturing Americans about manners. When Trump treats the relationship like a contract instead of a charity, Ottawa calls it an attack on sovereignty.<\/p>\n<p>Canadian voters just said they like that script.<\/p>\n<p>Anyone in Washington waiting for a thaw is waiting for a country that just voted against one.<\/p>\n<p>Carney will keep the feud. His base likes it. The border will stay cold until Canadians decide prosperity matters more than spite.<\/p>\n<p>But Monday was not that day.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f7f7f7; color: #171717; display: flex;font-size: 16px;font-weight: 600;line-height: 1.5;margin: 24px 0;padding: 18px 20px 18px 30px;text-align: left;\">\n<div style=\"align-self: stretch;border-left: 3px solid #171717;flex-shrink: 0;padding-left: 20px;\"><\/div>\n<p><a style=\"text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/preferences\/source?q=https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/\">Choose The Western Journal as your preferred source on Google and never miss reporting that defends truth, protects freedom, and advances Western civilization<\/a><\/div>\n<p style=\"border: 1px solid #f5f5f5; padding: 16px;\">Advertise with The Western Journal and reach millions of highly engaged readers, while supporting our work. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/advertise-us\/?wj_source=article\">Advertise Today<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div style=\"position: relative;\">\n<div class=\"ff-fancy-header-container\"> \t\t\t \t<\/div>\n<div class=\"entry-submit-correction inner-content\">\n<div class=\"correction-form\">\n<form style=\"display: none;\">\n<div class=\"sc-name-field\"> \t\t\t\t\t\t<label>* Name<\/label> \t\t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"name\" required> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"sc--field\"> \t\t\t\t\t\t<label>* <\/label> \t\t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"\" required> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p> \t\t\t\t\t<label>* Message<\/label> \t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t<textarea name=\"message\" required><\/textarea> \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"required-message\" style=\"display: none; padding-bottom: 15px;\">* All fields are required.<\/div>\n<p> \t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"submit\" value=\"Submit\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault(); firefly_sc();\"> \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"firefly-sc-confirm\" style=\"display: none;\">Success!<\/div>\n<\/p><\/form>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> \t\t<script> \t\t\tfunction firefly_sc() { \t\t\t\tif( typeof window.captchaPublicKey == typeof undefined ){ \t\t\t\t\tconsole.error('window.captchaPublicKey is not defined'); \t\t\t\t} \t\t\t\tgrecaptcha.execute( window.captchaPublicKey, { action: 'submit_correction' } ).then( function( token ) { \t\t\t\t\tvar opts = { \t\t\t\t\t\taction:    'firefly_sc_submit', \t\t\t\t\t\tname:      document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"name\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\t:     document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tmessage:   document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"message\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tpost_id:   firefly_post_id, \t\t\t\t\t\tcap_token: token \t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\tvar inputs = [ 'name', '', 'message' ];  \t\t\t\t\tfor( var i = 0; i < inputs.length; i++ ) if( !
