Canada's 2025 Election Heats Up Amid Trump Tensions and Lobster Wars

Donald Trump is stirring controversy again—this time by calling Canada the '51st state' and eyeing its natural resources.

From water in British Columbia to rare earth metals in the Arctic, Trump’s rhetoric has Canadians on edge.

Prime Minister Mark Carney warns Trump’s trade war and annexation talk could collapse Canada’s economy.

Meanwhile, Canadians are boycotting U.S.

goods and cancelling vacations south of the border.

Tensions are boiling over in the 'Grey Zone'—a disputed area between Maine and New Brunswick.

Lobstermen from both sides are clashing over traps, with injuries and stolen gear becoming common.

Americans accuse Canadians of bending the rules, while Canadians say U.S.

fishers are trespassing.

The decades-old dispute is now a flashpoint in U.S.-Canada relations.

Mark Carney is pushing a 'Buy Canadian' military policy to reduce reliance on U.S.

suppliers.

But even Bombardier, the company he visited, is worried it could backfire.

Carney says it’s about negotiating from strength with Trump, but critics warn it could freeze Canada out of

U.S.

defence contracts.

The plan is bold—but risky.

Pierre Poilievre is going viral by comparing Canadian home prices to European castles.

He says a house in Kitchener costs more than a Swedish castle—and he’s not wrong.

The TikTok trend he references highlights Canada’s housing crisis, and both major parties are scrambling to offer solutions.

But critics say neither has a full plan to fix it.
