Once again, a federal election call was made well before western votes had a chance to be considered, leaving some voters feeling disenfranchised, as if their votes don’t matter.
On Monday night, at about 7:15 p.m. PT, media outlets, including CBC News, projected the Liberals would form the next government.
That was 15 minutes after polls had closed in B.C., and not long after they closed in Alberta. The election call was made knowing only the early results of the more Eastern provinces.
You think American leftists have Trump Derangement Syndrome? They’ve got nothing on Canadians, who just chose to remain on the path of national decline and self-destruction that they’ve been on for the last ten years, just to spite Donald Trump. In order to demonstrate their nationalism, Canada just chose a socialist internationalist as prime minister. Yes, it’s that crazy, and worse.
Woe is Canada.
With the election of liberal globalist Mark Carney, Canadians have effectively finished themselves off.
Apparently, the past decade of economic disaster and despair—courtesy of the self-same Liberal Party– was not enough for our friends in the Great White North.
This election could have been a lot worse for Canada’s Conservatives. As I write, they have taken 41.7 per cent of the popular vote, their highest share since 1988, and are on track to pick up two dozen seats. They have also managed to make inroads with young people and unionised workers – groups that are famously hard for right-wing parties to win over.
Yet the victor of the night was Mark Carney, who will have a thin but real minority to work with as prime minister of Canada, and now the Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre is expected to lose his seat. Ill-informed pundits will say that the Tories threw away their double-digit lead ahead of the election, but it would be far more accurate to say that Carney’s Liberals closed the gap, and then some.
U.S. President Donald Trump will seek even more restrictions on Canada’s ability to sign trade agreements with China when Washington and Ottawa start renegotiations on the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement, an international trade expert predicts.
David Collins, who specializes in international trade and investment law at City St. George’s, University of London, says he expects the United States will seek to toughen up Article 32.10 in the next United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement.
Donald Trump is fully aware he provoked a political earthquake in Canada — just ask him.
On the day of Canada’s election, the U.S. president was quoted in an interview voicing detailed knowledge of the historic plot-twist he triggered.
“You know, until I came along, remember that the Conservative was leading by 25 points,” Trump told The Atlantic last week, in an interview published Monday.
Trump will find it much easier kicking a Globalist carpetbagger like Carney around.
Canada’s Liberal Party, led by Mark Carney, is projected to win a federal election that played out against a tumultuous backdrop of President Donald Trump’s trade war and annexation threats.
It was not immediately clear whether the Liberals would lead a minority or majority government as votes continued to be counted early Tuesday. Either way, Carney will now have to figure out how to deal with Trump’s 25 percent tariffs on many Canadian goods — and his persistent talk of turning the country into a “51st state.”
WASHINGTON—President Trump is expected to soften the impact of his automotive tariffs, preventing duties on foreign-made cars from stacking on top of other tariffs he has imposed and easing some levies on foreign parts used to manufacture cars in the U.S., according to people familiar with the matter.
The decision will mean that automakers paying Trump’s automotive tariffs won’t also be charged for other duties, such as those on steel and aluminum, according to people familiar with the policy. The move would be retroactive, the people said, meaning that automakers could be reimbursed for such tariffs already paid. The 25% tariff on finished foreign-made cars went into effect early this month.
Canada, where I call home, is the only jurisdiction in the world that hands out free addictive drugs to addicts. Under the “safer-supply” policy, Canadian health authorities distribute hydromorphone—an opioid as potent as heroin—as well as, to a lesser degree, oxycodone, pharmaceutical fentanyl, and mild stimulants. These drugs are provided at no cost and, until recently, rarely had to be consumed under medical supervision.
TORONTO – Armed with four different apps, Lucy Fromowitz roams the aisles of her local supermarket looking for clues.
She scans the barcodes on food packages and studies the origin stories that pop up on her phone. When something seems potentially misleading or incomplete, she moves to phase 2, poring over the fine print.
“Sometimes it will say, ‘Prepared in Canada,’” the retired college administrator said during a recent weekend shopping trip with her husband. “But if you read the package, it’s shipped through Florida or California,” and doesn’t specify what kind of preparation took place north of the border.
City’s hotels are filled with asylum seekers as fears grow that Trump’s immigration crackdown will send more fleeing across the border
The lobby of the Wyndham Garden Tower Hotel in Niagara Falls at 8am is busy with chatter in all manner of languages.
The chatter is not from tourists heading out to admire the mist-covered waterfalls, however, but from children who are living at the hotel after arriving from Africa with parents seeking asylum.
Minutes later they are gone, climbing into two yellow buses to take them to school.
U.S. President Donald Trump weighed in on Canada’s election Monday, though he stopped short of supporting a candidate. Instead, he endorsed Canada becoming the 51st state.
“Elect the man who has the strength and wisdom to cut your taxes in half, increase your military power, for free, to the highest level in the World, have your Car, Steel, Aluminum, Lumber, Energy, and all other businesses, QUADRUPLE in size, WITH ZERO TARIFFS OR TAXES, if Canada becomes the cherished 51st. State of the United States of America,” he wrote on Truth Social.

Sigh …
The next battleground in Canada’s boycott of the US is Big Tech.
Fed-up Canucks are now ditching tech giants like Apple, Google and Meta to make way for obscure alternatives, like an email server called “NorthMail” or a search engine named “Switch.”
Like the travel, booze and grocey boycotts, the tech offensive is being launched by Canadians steamed over tariffs and President Trump’s suggestion to make the Great White North the 51st state in the union.
Mark Carney’s poll lead in Canada’s election race has narrowed to just two points, hours before voters cast their ballots on Monday.
In a campaign dominated by Donald Trump’s threats to annex the country, the Liberal prime minister began the month six points ahead of Conservative populist Pierre Poilievre, who is seen as sympathetic to the US president.
However, a poll by Abacus Data published on Sunday, found that the Liberals were on 41 per cent of the vote compared with 39 per cent for Conservatives.

Canadians are heading to the polls to decide on their next government at a pivotal moment in their relations with the US.
The country faces a huge economic challenge in the shape of Trump tariffs on Canadian exports to the US.
And the US president’s pursuit of Canada as part of an expanded US has increased anxieties about national security.
But this election is not just about a relationship between these neighbours and former allies, it is being closely watched in several other parts of the world too.
