Liberal Leader Mark Carney will form government, Global News is projecting.

While votes are still being tallied in some parts of the country, it is unclear whether the Liberals will form a majority or minority government.

Carney said Canadians were standing at a “hinge moment in history.”

“We are once again at one of those hinge moments of history. Our old relationship with the United States – a relationship based on steadily increasing integration is over. The system of open global trade anchored by the United States, a system that Canada has relied on since the Second World War, a system that -while not perfect — has helped deliver prosperity for a country for decades, is over,” he said.

Carney spoke to supporters in Ottawa, laying out the threat from the U.S. as his top priority.
