Canada’s 2025 election isn’t just about picking a new leader—it’s about the country’s future.
In Alberta, calls for independence are growing louder, with some even suggesting joining the US.
While only a quarter of Albertans would vote to leave Canada, the sense of western alienation is real.
As one activist put it, “A vote for the Carney Liberals is a vote for Western secession.” Alberta’s
Premier has warned of a ‘national unity crisis’ if the next government doesn’t address the West’s concerns, especially
around oil and gas policies.
Donald Trump has made headlines by suggesting Canada should become the 51st US state.
He claims, “We’re taking care of every aspect of their lives...
the only way this thing really works is for Canada to become a state.” While most Canadians dismiss
this as bluster, it’s fueling political debates and even boosting support for the Liberals.
Experts warn that if Canada ever joined the US, it would be a ‘Democratic dream and a Republican
nightmare’—with most new seats likely going to Democrats.
Despite Trump’s shadow over the election, Canada’s Conservatives are gaining traction with young voters, especially young men.
Polls show nearly half of voters aged 18-34 support the Conservatives, driven by concerns over housing and cost
of living.
As one young supporter said, “It doesn’t work under the Liberal government.
We’ve tried it for 10 years and it doesn’t work.” Still, overall, the Liberals lead in the polls,
thanks to strong support in Ontario and Quebec.
Winnipeg South, known as Canada’s bellwether riding, reflects the nation’s diversity and political mood.
Here, both Liberals and Conservatives are fighting hard, but local issues like housing and cost of living matter
most.
For some, Trump is a top concern; for others, it’s about whether life has improved in the last
decade.
The outcome here could signal the national result.
With national unity, Trump’s provocations, and a youth shift all in play, Canada’s 2025 election is one to
watch.
Will Alberta’s frustrations boil over?
Will young voters tip the balance?
And how will Trump’s comments shape the outcome?
