Canada's 2021 Election and the Impact on Tariff Negotiations with the U.S.
After Canada's 2021 federal election on September 20, Prime Minister Mark Carney's Liberal Party retained power, but fell short of the majority government Carney had hoped for in negotiating tariffs with U.S. President Donald Trump. The elections left the Liberal Party with a minority government, requiring collaboration with smaller parties to pass legislation.
To secure a majority, the Liberals needed to win 172 of the House of Commons' 343 electoral districts, known as seats. As of the latest updates, they were leading or elected in 156 districts, while the Conservatives trailed behind with 145, according to CTV News. The outcome hinged on the results in British Columbia, which closes its polls last and could be the deciding factor for a potential shortfall in the majority.
The 2021 elections marked a notable comeback for the Liberal Party, who trailed 20 points behind in the polls in January before a surge in support. This resurgence can largely be attributed to the "anybody-but-Conservative" factor, the impact of Trump's tariff threats, and the resignation of unpopular former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, which enabled a wave of patriotism to overtake Canadian voters.
While Carney expressed a firm stance on tariffs, promising a tough approach with Washington and pledging to reduce Canada's reliance on the U.S. should the tariffs persist, the right-of-center Conservatives displayed unexpected strength. The Liberal Party's continued focus on maintaining strong trade ties while protecting its interests remains instrumental, given Canada's significant trade relationship with the U.S.
It's important to note that the Canadian-U.S. trade relationship is substantial, and tariffs have been a point of contention, especially during the Trump administration. The continuation of the Trudeau government may have signaled stability in Canada's approach to trade negotiations, aiming to maintain strong ties while safeguarding Canadian interests.
Minority governments in Canada rarely last longer than 2-1/2 years. The result, though, marked a significant victory for the Liberals given the initial polling disparity and the renewed threats from Trump. Neither the Carney nor Poilievre camp was immediately available for reaction to the CTV and CBC forecasts.
