Mark Carney has been elected as prime minister of Canada, according to the projections of the national broadcaster CBC/Radio Canada, in one of the country's most consequential elections in decades. But it's still not clear if his Liberal party will win the 172 seats needed for an outright majority in parliament.

In a social media post on the day of Canada's election, President Donald Trump suggested that Canadians should vote for him in order for Canada to become the 51st state.
