Donald Trump’s threats of tariffs and annexation have flipped Canada’s election on its head.
Once trailing, the Liberals under Mark Carney are now leading in the polls as Canadians rally around national
pride.
Trump’s aggressive stance has made U.S.
relations the top election issue, overshadowing domestic concerns.
Mark Carney, a former central banker, is promising to make Canada a superpower in both green and conventional
energy.
But critics say he’s playing it too safe—repealing the carbon tax and supporting new pipelines.
Climate advocates warn this contradicts Canada’s emissions goals.
Pierre Poilievre’s Trump-style populism is losing steam.
Once a frontrunner, his brash tone and 'Canada First' slogan are now seen as too close to Trump.
He’s trying to pivot, saying, 'I am nothing like Trump,' but the damage may be done.
With just days to go, polls show a razor-thin margin between the Liberals and Conservatives.
Carney leads slightly, but affordability and housing remain key voter concerns.
The outcome may hinge on who Canadians trust more to stand up to Trump and manage the economy.
Canada’s future is on the line, and the world is watching.
Will voters choose Carney’s calm leadership or Poilievre’s populist push?
Follow us for more updates as the election unfolds.
