Canada's Election Shocker: Trump’s Trade War Flips the Race

Canada’s federal election is just days away, and what was once a sure win for Conservative Pierre Poilievre

has flipped upside down.

Why?

U.S.

President Donald Trump launched a trade war, slapping tariffs on Canadian steel, cars, and even threatening to make

Canada the 51st state.

The result?

A surge in Canadian nationalism and a major boost for Liberal Prime Minister Mark Carney.

Mark Carney, a former central banker with zero electoral experience, is now leading the Liberals and the polls.

Known for steering the UK through Brexit and Canada through the 2008 crisis, Carney is pitching himself as

the calm, experienced leader Canada needs to face Trump.

He’s promising to reduce U.S.

dependency and invest billions in housing and infrastructure.

Pierre Poilievre, once the favorite, is now struggling.

His 'Canada First' slogan and Trump-like style are turning off voters amid rising anti-American sentiment.

Though he insists, 'I’m nothing like Trump,' the damage may be done.

Even Trump called him 'no friend of mine.' NDP leader Jagmeet Singh is fighting to stay relevant.

Known for pushing dental care and standing up for workers, Singh ended his deal with the Liberals last

year.

But with polls showing the NDP at just 10%, he’s focused on keeping enough seats to stay in

the game.

In a shocking twist, Canadian officials say China is behind a smear campaign against Conservative candidate Joe Tay,

using fake 'wanted' posters and social media manipulation.

Authorities say it hasn’t affected the election’s integrity, but it’s a stark reminder of foreign interference risks.

With the April 28 vote looming, Canadians are choosing between Carney’s calm leadership and Poilievre’s populist fire.

The wildcard?

Trump’s next move.

One thing’s clear: this election is about more than just Canada—it’s about standing up to global pressure.
