Canada's 2025 Election: Trump, Tariffs, and the Climate Clash

Donald Trump’s threats of tariffs and annexation have shaken Canadian politics.

His rhetoric has sparked a surge in nationalism, helping Mark Carney’s Liberals regain ground after trailing the Conservatives

for months.

Carney warns, “Trump wants to break us so he can own us,” and is calling for a strong

mandate to renegotiate trade and reduce U.S.

dependency.

Despite record wildfires and $8.5 billion in weather-related losses, climate change has slipped from the top of voters’

minds.

Carney repealed the consumer carbon tax, while Poilievre wants to scrap the industrial one.

Both support expanding oil and gas, drawing criticism from environmentalists who say they’re in 'denial about climate change.'

Polls show the Liberals gaining support from centrist and even right-of-center voters.

Carney’s calm, experienced image contrasts with Poilievre’s populist style.

But Poilievre insists, “I am nothing like Trump,” and is trying to soften his tone to win over

moderates.

The death of Pope Francis brought a rare pause to the campaign.

Leaders from all parties paid tribute, highlighting his legacy of compassion and reconciliation.

Carney praised the Pope’s call to 'reintegrate human values into our economic lives.'
