If Mark Carney did blow the trade talks with the Americans last month for political reasons, the latest poll by Leger for Postmedia shows it is working.
Carney’s Liberals now sit at 49% nationally, while 57% approve of the government’s direction and 58% approve of his performance.
Prime Minister Mark Carney is heading to Strasbourg as Canada and the European Union prepare a sweeping new partnership. He will attend European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen’s State of the Union address on September 16 and address the European Parliament the following day.
Prime Minister Mark Carney met with President Obama in Toronto in May 2026. He also met with Alex Soros at the same time. Alex Soros, son of financier George Soros, is assuming his father’s role as president of the Open Society Foundation (OSF). The OSF is criticized by four European countries for alleged interference in domestic politics. George Soros’s Super PAC, personal donations, “dark money” contributions, and the OSF have provided millions of dollars to the Democratic National Committee. In addition, Alex Soros and Huma Abedin (Chief of Staff for Hillary Clinton) met with Minister of Industry Mélanie Joly and former ambassador Frank McKenna (Chair of Brookfield Corp. and Deputy Chair of TD Bank Group) on July 13. Prime Minister Carney also hired Maia Johnson, who now serves as Senior Special Advisor for the US. Ms. Johnson is a longtime Democrat political operative, having worked on the presidential campaigns of Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, and Kamala Harris. This appears to be the first instance an American Democrat operative has been appointed to such a senior advisory position within the Canadian government.

U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer might not like to think of it as a trade “war,” but whatever you call it — a difference of opinion? an incongruity? the unpleasantness? — it’s now been going on for more than 19 months.
In February 2025, Donald Trump, in defiance of a free trade deal he himself signed in 2018, first announced tariffs on a number of Canadian products.
And it seems now it could be several more months before hostilities are reduced, let alone ceased.
Is it just me or is the CBC starting to walk things back for Carney?
Automaker Stellantis NV STLA-N says it has signed a preliminary agreement to sell its idled Brampton, Ont., assembly plant to armoured carmaker Roshel.
The Brampton factory stopped production in 2023 to retool to make the Jeep Compass, but the work was paused shortly after the U.S. placed 25-per-cent tariffs on Canadian-made cars in 2025. Stellantis last year said the Compass would instead be made in the U.S., leaving the future of the plant and 2,200 laid-off workers up in the air.
OTTAWA — Proposed restructuring of the Canadian Army’s 2nd Canadian Division risks undermining Canada’s military heritage and turning soldiers into little more than provincial clean-up crews, a leading defence expert warns.
A researcher leading a federally funded project to identify Canadian news outlets considered reliable says the directory will not be used to favour Liberal-friendly media or publishers supportive of the government.
“There is no role for government oversight,” Laval University professor Colette Brin said, according to Blacklock’s Reporter.
OTTAWA — Canada’s progress against greenhouse gas emissions is stalling, according to a new analysis that concludes the country’s climate target for 2030 is so far out of reach that it likely won’t even be met by 2050 — the year Prime Minister Mark Carney promises to hit “net zero” emissions.
Researchers at the Canadian Climate Institute were set to release their analysis Friday morning, concluding the country is “far off track for its near-term climate goals,” and that there is a “cavernous gap” between projected future emissions and the ambition to hit net-zero by 2050.
Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew called Donald Trump’s tariffs “immoral” after Canadian trade talks with the United States (US) fell apart.
That’s quite a charge coming from a Canadian politician.
“[T]he government of Manitoba is 100 percent behind the prime minister’s direction to retaliate against Donald Trump’s unjustified and immoral tariffs,” Kinew said at a press conference at the Manitoba legislature on August 22.
Prime Minister Mark Carney’s sustained surge in the polls is coming predominantly from former Conservatives, according to new figures published by the Angus Reid Institute.
According to a new poll published on Thursday, 13 per cent of respondents who voted Conservative in 2025 would now vote for a Carney-led Liberal party if given the chance
OTTAWA – In the escalating controversy over CBC News guidance directing journalists not to describe the al-Qaeda attacks of September 11, 2001, as terrorism, FBI personnel assigned to American diplomatic posts in Ottawa, Toronto and Vancouver were instructed to leave their workplaces and go home, according to a U.S. law-enforcement source with knowledge of interagency communications surrounding the incident.
All over the democratic world, the hard right – nationalist, populist, anti-immigration, contemptuous of democratic norms and cozy with authoritarian regimes – is on the march.
The United States, of course, is the most prominent example: Under Donald Trump it has become a shining city on a hill for right-wing nutters the world over. But look around. In Germany, the militantly nativist, pro-Russia AfD, some of whose leading figures could fairly be described as neo-Nazi, has just won an election for the first time, in the state of Saxony-Anhalt. It is the largest opposition party in the Bundestag and is now in first place in some national polls.
Even the Elbow people will be awakened once they realize they’ve been usurped by mass immigration Mr. Coyne.
Andrew is just a typist for Carney and his globalist pals and he absolutely hates democracy.
The Globe is the Century Initiative’s official media partner. It is run by Mark Carney’s advisor, Mark Wiseman, and is partially funded by Power Corporation – run by Carney’s top donors who also lead the Canada China Business Council.

The federal government’s undemocratic alcohol escalator tax is devastating Canada’s domestic alcohol industry.
With Prime Minister Mark Carney just having raised prices for Canadians by imposing a new wave of tariffs on U.S. goods entering Canada from the United States, there never has been a better time to axe the escalator tax.
Fewer than 16,000 Chinese-made electric vehicles have entered Canada since January under a trade deal struck between Prime Minister Mark Carney and Chinese President Xi Jinping as part of what Ottawa described as a “new strategic partnership” aimed at easing tensions and strengthening economic ties.
That’s less than one-third of the 49,000 Chinese-made EVs that Canada said would be allowed into this country in 2026 under the deal, which vastly reduced tariff rates. Beijing in turn agreed to scale back retaliatory tariffs on Canadian seafood, canola seed and other farm products.
Canada’s Army formally made one of the biggest changes to its structure in decades Thursday by shifting from divisions based on geography to ones built around specific purposes.
Canadian Forces Base (CFB) Edmonton held a signing ceremony and parade to stand up the 1st Canadian Division, which will serve as the main force responsible for deploying on large-scale combat operations and responding to crises.
