Canada's Big Week: Election Shocks, Hockey Glory, and Remembrance

Canada just wrapped up one of its most dramatic elections in decades!

Mark Carney, a former central banker with no prior electoral experience, led the Liberals to a minority government,

promising to unite Canada against new threats from President Trump.

Carney’s win is seen as a call for stability and expertise, with many voters choosing the political center

over chaos.

Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre lost his own seat but vowed to work with Carney to defend Canada’s interests.

As Carney put it, “It is time to be bold, to meet this crisis with the overwhelming positive

force of a united Canada.” Canada’s U-18 men’s hockey team made history by winning gold for the second

year in a row, crushing Sweden 7-0 in the final!

Standout performances came from Brady Martin, who scored twice, and goalie Jack Ivankovic, who was unbeatable all tournament.

The U.S.

took bronze after a thrilling overtime win against Slovakia.

This back-to-back gold is a first for Canada, and fans are calling it a new golden era for

junior hockey.

Across Canada and the Netherlands, people are marking the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the Netherlands by

Canadian forces in WWII.

Emotional ceremonies featured veterans, students, and families honoring the 7,600 Canadians who died freeing the Dutch from Nazi

occupation.

As one participant said, “The reasons why Canada fought for freedom in the Netherlands are as vital today

as they were then.” Canadian students are also in the Netherlands, experiencing firsthand the gratitude of the Dutch

and learning about the sacrifices made for freedom.

A new poll shows over three-quarters of Canadians believe misinformation affected the recent federal election.

While most still trust the results, concerns about foreign interference and online rumors are growing.

Security officials say Canadians can have confidence in the integrity of the system, but the debate over trust

and truth in politics is far from over.
