1. 🇨🇦 Mark Carney’s Liberals Win Federal Election Amid Anti-Trump Sentiment
Prime Minister Mark Carney led the Liberals to a surprising win in the 2025 federal election. Expected to struggle post-Trudeau, the party gained ground amid backlash to U.S. President Donald Trump’s hostile rhetoric. Carney’s calm, experienced tone resonated with voters uneasy about global instability.
Meanwhile, Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre lost his seat and momentum, unable to shift away from his Trudeau-focused platform. The Liberals now hold 165 seats, just shy of a majority.
2. 🇺🇸 Trump’s Tariffs and Annexation Remarks Reshape Canadian Politics

This U.S. interference fueled a nationalistic push and likely tipped several close ridings, highlighting how deeply American politics affect Canada’s trajectory.
