After his victory, Carney took aim at Trump
Prime Minister Mark Carney struck a combative tone yesterday after his Liberal Party won a narrow victory in Canada’s parliamentary elections. He vowed to confront Trump’s threats to Canada’s economy and its sovereignty.
“As I’ve been warning for months, America wants our land, our resources, our water,” he said in a speech in Ottawa. “President Trump is trying to break us, so he can own us. That will never happen.”
While the Liberals will form the next government, they are projected to have a minority in the House of Commons. They had 169 seats at the time of this send, three shy of a parliamentary majority with only one seat left to call. Here are the latest results.
Pierre Poilievre, the Conservative Party leader, lost his seat in Ottawa, a stinging defeat for a man who had seemed set to become the next prime minister just a few months ago. Here are takeaways from the election.

How to be happy
Jancee Dunn, who covers health and wellness for The Times, collected her favorite advice on how to be happy from her interviews with a wide range of professionals, including F.B.I. negotiators and dream researchers. Some suggested finding opportunities for delight; others look for little exercises in gratitude or ways to have more meaningful interactions.
And then there’s Cher’s approach to not sweating the small stuff: “If it doesn’t matter in five years, it doesn’t matter.”
