Ottawa: Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney's Liberal Party achieved three significant victories in federal by-elections on Monday, with political analysts linking the success to a nationwide rally around the government amidst escalating trade tensions with the United States. The victories push the Liberals to 173 seats, surpassing the minimum required for a majority in the House of Commons.

According to Anadolu Agency, the Liberal Party managed to retain their seats in Beaches-East York and North Vancouver-Capilano while successfully flipping Chicoutimi-Le Fjord from the Conservative Party. Daniel Gobeil emerged victorious in Quebec with 51.3% of the vote, while Tanveer Shahnawaz and Braeden Caley achieved decisive wins in Ontario and British Columbia, respectively.

In his address, Carney emphasized that Canada is navigating a challenging global environment and promised to strengthen the nation domestically while expanding international trade partnerships. He highlighted the administration's capability to deliver tangible outcomes despite facing global challenges.

CTV, a Canadian broadcaster, noted that US President Donald Trump's actions significantly influenced the by-election results. Political analysts remarked that Trump's policies were causing a stir in Canadian politics, providing momentum for the Liberals as voters reacted to the looming US tariff threats.

These electoral successes coincided with Washington's decision to impose 50% tariffs on crucial Canadian goods, leading Carney to pledge equivalent retaliatory measures starting September 8. While Trump has often criticized Canadian trade practices, the by-election outcomes indicate increasing public endorsement of Carney's 'Canada Strong' strategy amidst US-Canada tensions.
