Prime minister Mark Carney’s Liberal Party was projected to win Canada’s federal election on Monday, capping a stunning turnaround in fortunes fuelled by US President Donald Trump’s annexation threats and trade war.

The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, the national public broadcaster, said the Liberals will win more of parliament’s 343 seats than the Conservatives.
