Mark Carney's Liberals have won the Canadian election in a remarkable turnaround for the centre-left party.
The Liberal Party was well behind in the polls just months ago. That's before Carney replaced Justin Trudeau as leader and US President Donald Trump soured relations with Canada, becoming the defining issue of the campaign.
So did Trump just win the election for Carney - and what does it mean for future negotiations?

JD Vance is the latest senior member of Donald Trump's administration to say the US will walk away from peace talks if there isn’t a yes from both Ukraine and Russia.
But the US plan to recognise Russia's claim to Crimea would be a breach of Ukraine's constitution and so not something President Volodomyr Zelenskyy can agree to even if he wanted to keep the talks alive.

Earlier this year, he was treated in hospital for five weeks with an infection, but had been discharged.

Today has seen chaos on global stock markets, with price plunges reminiscent of the famous Black Monday crash of 1987. Back then, the causes were unclear, whereas today there's no doubt - Trump's "liberation day" tariffs have spooked the markets.
In 1987, people feared Black Monday was a sign of a global recession. They were wrong. Are we right to have the same fears today?
