Instead, Canadians turned their backs on the Conservative leader yesterday, and reelected Mark Carney, leader of the Liberal party, and a skilled economist with exemplary credentials, to become our next Prime Minister.
It's what most of us had been hoping for, and now we have someone skilled enough to stand up for Canada against Trump. It would not even have been possible a few months ago before Trump came to power. But Canadians have learned from their neighbours to the south, and now we can breathe a sigh of relief, knowing we are in good hands.
And the fact that the Conservative leader was defeated in his own riding is just icing on the cake.
So, thank you President Trump!
