Canada's Election Shaken by Trump Threats and Rising Tensions

Canada’s federal election is heating up, and U.S.

President Donald Trump is playing an unexpected role.

His threats to impose tariffs and even annex Canada have shaken the race.

Liberal leader Mark Carney is gaining ground, positioning himself as the steady hand to face Trump.

Meanwhile, Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre is struggling to distance himself from Trump’s image, despite once leading the polls.

Trump’s 25% tariffs on Canadian steel, aluminum, and cars have rattled the economy.

Carney warns of 'tough days ahead,' while economists predict higher unemployment and a possible recession.

The housing crisis is also worsening, with construction costs rising due to tariffs.

Canadians are feeling the pinch—and it’s influencing their vote.

Boomers are backing Carney for stability, while younger voters are split.

Millennials and Gen Z are drawn to Poilievre’s promises on affordability and free speech, but many are voting

Liberal to block him.

One voter said, 'Pierre seems the only one up for the job,' while another said, 'So the Conservatives

don’t win.' Poilievre has vowed to defund universities promoting 'woke ideology,' echoing Trump’s crackdown on academic freedom.

Critics warn this threatens free speech and academic independence.

The Canadian Association of University Teachers called it 'a threat to academic freedom.' Trump’s annexation talk has sparked

fear and unity in Canada.

One mom wrote online, 'I’m terrified of my country being invaded.' But many Canadians, including military members, are

standing strong.

As one soldier said, 'Canada is famous for being insanely hard to defeat.' In a surprising twist, Canadian

MP Charlie Angus sarcastically thanked Trump for uniting Canada.

'It took a malignant narcissistic slug like you to make us put aside our differences,' he said.

Trump’s chaos may have done what no politician could—bring Canadians together.
