Canada just held its most dramatic election in decades, and the results are shaking up North American politics!
Despite economic struggles and Trump’s aggressive tariffs, Canadians rallied behind the centrist Liberals and their new leader, Mark
Carney.
Carney, a former top banker, promised to stand up to Trump and rebuild Canada’s economic independence.
In a stunning twist, even voters from rival parties joined forces to block the Trump-style Conservatives.
As Carney put it, “Now is the time for ambition, to be bold, to meet this crisis with
the overwhelming, positive force of a united Canada.” The trade war is hitting home.
General Motors just announced it’s cutting a shift at its Oshawa plant, putting 700 jobs at risk.
The company blames Trump’s tariffs and the ‘evolving trade environment’ for the move.
Ontario’s premier called the news ‘extremely tough’ for workers, vowing to fight for jobs.
Meanwhile, Canadian auto parts are temporarily spared from new tariffs, but uncertainty looms.
As one union leader said, the cuts will ‘ripple through’ the entire auto industry.
Prime Minister Carney is heading to Washington to meet Trump, promising to ‘fight to get the best deal
for Canada.’ He’s also calling for unity at home, urging Canadians to ‘put on our Team Canada sweaters
and win big.’ Carney’s government is focused on building new alliances, boosting economic independence, and tackling big issues
like housing and healthcare.
He’s made it clear: the old Canada-U.S.
relationship is over, and it’s time for a bold new approach.
On a lighter note, Canada’s hockey stars Brandon Montour and Travis Konecny are suiting up for the IIHF
World Championship in Sweden and Denmark!
Konecny just had a career-best season, and Montour is fresh off a Stanley Cup win.
Plus, local teams and young players are making headlines, showing that Canadian hockey spirit is as strong as
ever.
