A Trump official mistakenly said Canada would face a 10% tariff, causing panic before the White House clarified
Canada is exempt.
Trump is pausing tariffs for most countries—except China, which faces a 125% rate.
Canadian leaders are divided: PM Mark Carney calls it a 'welcome reprieve,' while opposition leaders slam the chaos.
Jagmeet Singh says Canadians are 'fed up with the roller-coaster' of Trump’s trade threats.
With Trump ending protected status for Venezuelans, many are fleeing to Canada—some legally, others through illegal crossings.
Immigration consultants warn that many could qualify for visas but are unaware.
The RCMP is ramping up border patrols, including Black Hawk helicopters, as crossings increase.
One consultant said, 'The fear of being deported is genuine.
They just want to feel safe.' Four Gujarati-origin candidates are running in Canada’s federal election, marking a new
chapter in immigrant political representation.
Jayesh Brahmbhatt, Sunjiv Raval, Ashok Patel, and Minesh Patel are stepping up, inspired by the success of Punjabi-Canadians
like Jagmeet Singh.
'We have a voice now,' said Raval.
Experts say this reflects the growing influence of Indian communities in Canadian politics.
Climate conspiracy theories are gaining traction in Canada, with some politicians linking environmental policies to threats on personal
freedom.
Experts warn this misinformation, amplified online, could sway voters.
Naomi Klein says, 'It’s as if conspiracy culture has replaced traditional climate denial.' As elections near, the battle
over facts is heating up.
Both Carney and Poilievre are pledging to speed up approvals for major energy projects.
Carney wants a 'one project, one review' model, while Poilievre promises a 'One-and-Done' policy with a one-year deadline.
Both aim to boost Canada’s energy independence amid Trump’s trade threats.
Polls show Carney leading, but the race is tight.
