Canada's Election Heats Up: Tariffs, Trust Funds, and Political Shifts

Donald Trump has announced a 90-day pause on new tariffs for countries other than China, a move that

could ease tensions with Canada.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford said Canada would drop its retaliatory tariffs 'tomorrow' if the U.S.

made the pause permanent.

But Alberta Premier Danielle Smith warned that if Liberal leader Mark Carney wins, it could still threaten national

unity unless he repeals key energy policies.

Pierre Poilievre’s once-commanding lead has narrowed after Trudeau stepped down and Mark Carney took over.

Poilievre’s populist message still resonates, especially in working-class areas, but polls now show a tight race.

He’s campaigning on affordability, national pride, and promises to 'put our own people first.' Liberal leader Mark Carney

is under fire after it was revealed that three Brookfield funds he oversaw were registered in tax havens

like Bermuda and the Cayman Islands.

While legal, critics say it raises questions about transparency.

Carney insists the structure was for 'efficiency,' not tax avoidance, but Conservatives are demanding he disclose his financial

holdings.

Many Hindu-Canadians are backing Poilievre, citing concerns over safety and frustration with Trudeau’s handling of India relations.

Some donors with past ties to India’s BJP party have drawn scrutiny, but supporters say they’re simply patriotic

Canadians.

The debate highlights tensions over diaspora politics and foreign influence.

NDP leader Jagmeet Singh is fighting to stay relevant as the election becomes a two-party race.

Despite securing dental care and pharmacare through a deal with the Liberals, his party’s support has cratered.

Analysts say Singh’s timing was off, and now he’s a 'bit player' in a high-stakes showdown.
