Canada's Election Shocker: Trump, Tariffs, and Conservative Chaos

Donald Trump’s threat to slap 25% tariffs on Canadian auto imports has rocked Canada’s political scene.

Liberal leader Mark Carney declared the old U.S.-Canada relationship is over, signaling a pivot away from American dependence.

Meanwhile, former PM Stephen Harper’s allies warn that Trump’s economic aggression could devastate Canadian jobs.

Pierre Poilievre’s campaign is under fire—not just from opponents, but from within.

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith and Reform Party founder Preston Manning are stirring controversy with talk of Western secession.

Former Harper ministers James Moore and Jason Kenney are pushing back, exposing deep rifts in the Conservative movement.

Once trailing in the polls, the Liberals are now surging under Mark Carney.

His calm, pragmatic style is winning over older voters worried about Trump.

Carney’s message?

Canada must stand strong and independent.

His moves to cut the carbon tax and stabilize the economy are resonating nationwide.

Poilievre’s past support for anti-Trudeau protests and his social media style have drawn comparisons to Trump.

But now, Trump himself says he prefers Carney.

Critics say Poilievre’s ‘Trumpy’ image is hurting him with moderate voters, especially as he struggles to shift focus

from domestic issues to international threats.

Trump’s offhand remark about Canada becoming the 51st U.S.

state sparked outrage.

Canadians across the political spectrum rejected the idea, calling it imperialistic and absurd.

Carney responded firmly: 'Canada’s strength lies in its refusal to be anything other than itself.'
