Canada's Election Showdown: Climate, Trump, and a Tight Race

Donald Trump’s threats to slap tariffs on Canada and even make it the 51st state have flipped the

election script.

Once trailing, the Liberals under Mark Carney are now leading in the polls, as Canadians rally around national

pride.

Trump’s attacks have made him public enemy number one north of the border—and that’s helping Carney.

Despite record wildfires and $8.5 billion in weather-related losses, climate change has faded from the spotlight.

Both Carney and Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre are backing fossil fuel expansion.

Carney wants Canada to be a superpower in both green and conventional energy, while Poilievre is all-in on

oil and gas, calling for the carbon tax to be scrapped.

Poilievre’s Trump-like style—big rallies, anti-media jabs, and slogans like 'Canada First'—is turning off voters amid Trump’s unpopularity.

Meanwhile, Carney’s calm, banker persona is winning over centrists.

But critics say he’s playing it too safe, backing pipelines and cutting the carbon tax to avoid political

backlash.

With just days to go, the Liberals lead by only 3 points—within the margin of error.

Carney is seen as better on the economy and standing up to Trump, but Poilievre is gaining ground

on affordability and housing.

The final outcome could hinge on undecided voters and regional battlegrounds.

This election could reshape Canada’s future—from climate action to its relationship with the U.S.
