- Carney mentioned Canada-U.S. relations several times during that speech, which formed the basis of his campaign.
- “When I sit down with President Trump, it will be to discuss the future economy and security relationship between two sovereign nations,” he said.
- “It will be our full knowledge that we have many, many other options to build prosperity for all Canadians.”
- He reiterated his promise to make the Canadian economy less dependent on the U.S. and to reduce barriers to interprovincial trade. He said he’d work with premiers and Indigenous peoples.
- People in the crowd often piped up, saying, “No! Never!” when Carney said Trump wants Canadian land.
- At one point, he paused and cracked a joke at a cellphone ringing.

- She said she wants to take this on for the NDP and convince the Speaker of the House of Commons to change this unofficial rule so there can be more representation in committees.

- The lights are on at Le National theatre, a.k.a. the Bloc Québécois headquarters, in Montreal as things start to dial down for the night.
- Blanchet made his speech earlier tonight, acknowledging Bloc candidates who weren’t elected and thanking the party faithful.
- He closed his speech underlining that Canada would have to answer to Quebec and ensure its interests are respected — even though the party is projected to lose a chunk of its seats.
- “You have overcome a challenge that would have literally overwhelmed people of lesser character than yours,” Blanchet told the crowd in French.
- “This will once again be an example of what distinguishes Quebec and what makes it a great nation that is unique and whose voice will be heard around the world.”

- Poilievre just finished speaking. He highlighted his party’s successes in the election and didn’t address rifts within the conservative movement.
- “To my fellow Conservatives, we have much to celebrate tonight,” he said, noting the party has so far gained 20 seats and won the highest share of the vote since former prime minister Brian Mulroney was re-elected in what was known as the “Free Trade” election.
- “We did all of this in a difficult environment,” Poilievre said.
- The leader said he’d work with other parties in “getting a trade deal that puts these tariffs behind us while protecting the sovereignty of Canada and the Canadian people.”
- He added that he would propose “better alternatives” to policies against Trump’s “irresponsible threats.”
