Outsideren vandt et af de mest utrolige valg i nyere tid. Han kunne ikke have gjort det uden Trumps provokationer

Selv erfarne udlæggere af politik har svært ved at begribe det comeback, som Canadas liberale premierminister, Mark Carney, har leveret. Én ting synes alle dog enige om: Han kunne ikke have gjort det uden provokationerne fra Donald Trump.

Canadian Prime Minister and Liberal leader Mark Carney speaks during a campaign rally in Laval, Quebec, Canada, on April 22, 2025. Canadians go to the polls on April 28, 2025, and all party leaders are doing one last tour around the country. Conservative hopes of returning to power in Canada appear to be fading a week before its election, with polls showing voters view the Liberals as a stronger counter to Donald Trump. By April 20, Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) data put Liberal support at 43.3 percent with Tories at 38.4. But the margins remain close and the race could still tilt towards the Conservatives, led by party leader Pierre Poilievre. (Photo by ANDREJ IVANOV / AFP) Andrej Ivanov/AFP/Ritzau Scanpix
