Good morning. Canada elects Mark Carney’s Liberals, just. Donald Trump offers automakers a reprieve. And Amazon’s satellite internet ambitions finally lift off. Listen to the day’s top stories.
Canada’s Liberal Party won a fourth straight election, handing Mark Carney a mandate to govern but with only a narrow margin of victory. His party led with 168 seats, ahead of the rival Conservatives but short of the 172 required for a majority. The Liberals were helped to victory by holding crucial ground in the country’s two biggest cities, while Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre’s bad night got worse as he was projected to lose his own seat.
