Davey on Canadian election: voters elected a Liberal government to combat Trump

EMBARGO: Immediate Release

Responding to the Liberals winning the Canadian election, Liberal Democrat Leader Ed Davey said:

“My warmest congratulations to Mark Carney.

“Voters in Canada have elected a Liberal government on a clear mandate to combat Trump's dangerous populism. Across the globe, it is liberals who are taking the lead in standing up for prosperity, security and democracy in the face of Trump, Putin and the rest.

“Voters in England have the chance to send a similar message on Thursday, by electing Liberal Democrat local champions to stand up for their communities against the hate-fuelled politics of Donald Trump and his bootlicker Nigel Farage.”
