Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre looked set to lead his party back to power but Trump’s win changed everything.

Last month, in his first speech as Canada’s prime minister, Mark Carney vowed to make the nation “a superpower in both conventional and clean energy.” The “conventional” reference could be seen as matter of course in a nation whose energy sector is still dominated by oil and gas.

Carney, a Harvard-educated technocrat two months into his political career, has capitalized on his image as a steady hand at the tiller in an economic storm.
