Canada’s election has been turned upside down by Donald Trump’s aggressive tariffs and his repeated claims that he

0:08

wants to make Canada the 51st U.S.

0:11

state.

0:12

These moves have outraged Canadians, with many booing the U.S.

0:16

anthem at sports events and canceling travel plans.

0:20

Trump’s actions have united Canadians across the political spectrum, with polls showing overwhelming opposition to any idea of

0:29

joining the U.S.

0:30

One analyst summed it up: “This would be a Democratic dream and a Republican nightmare.” Just months ago,

0:38

the Liberals were trailing badly, but the Trump factor and a new leader, Mark Carney, have flipped the

0:44

race.

0:45

Carney, a former central bank chief, has focused his campaign on defending Canada’s sovereignty and economy.

0:52

He declared, “President Trump’s tariffs are a direct attack on Canadians and on Canada itself.” His calm, experienced

1:01

approach has helped the Liberals surge ahead, while the Conservatives struggle to shift the conversation back to domestic

1:09

issues like affordability.

1:10

Former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, once the face of Canadian politics, has disappeared from the campaign.

1:17

After a series of scandals and plummeting approval ratings, Trudeau stepped down and is now focused on writing

1:24

memoirs.

1:26

The Liberals have quickly distanced themselves from his policies, with Carney axing the carbon levy and other unpopular

1:33

measures.

1:34

As one strategist put it, “He’s just vanished.

1:38

And if I were a Liberal, I’d be very happy with that.” Trump’s rhetoric has sparked a wave

1:44

of activism and pride in Canadian identity.

1:48

Comedian Mike Myers has become a vocal supporter, wearing a 'Canada Is Not for Sale' T-shirt on TV

1:56

and appearing in ads with Carney.

1:58

Myers said, “What’s happened has really hurt our feelings.

2:03

We love America.

2:04

We love you guys.

2:06

We don’t understand what this madness is.” The campaign has become about more than politics—it’s a fight for

2:13

Canada’s national soul.

2:14

As Canadians prepare to vote, the country is more united than ever in rejecting Trump’s threats, but divided

2:22

on how to tackle economic challenges at home.

2:25

The outcome will shape Canada’s future and its relationship with the U.S.

2:30

One thing’s clear: Canadians are determined to defend their sovereignty and identity.
