US National Security Advisor Michael Waltz will exit his post, CBS News first reported, and will be nominated to be ambassador to the United Nations. It brings a premature end to the Floridian’s tumultuous White House stint, one that has been marred ever since he accidentally added a journalist from The Atlantic to a Signal chat regarding US attack plans in Yemen. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio will replace Waltz, holding his role on an acting basis.

Map of electoral shifts in Canada

Ari Winkleman

Canada’s election on Monday was marked by unexpected twists from start to finish. While the Liberals staged a comeback to claim a fourth successive mandate to govern, voters at the local level triggered major changes: Over 60 ridings threw out their incumbent parties, leading to some unexpected upsets.

Chief among them was the stunning defeat of Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre, who lost his long-held Ottawa-area seat to Liberal candidate Bruce Fanjoy. Poilievre had represented the riding since 2004, but Fanjoy attributed his victory to Poilievre’s focus on his national campaign and apparent neglect of local concerns. To remain as leader of the opposition, Poilievre will need a fellow Conservative MP to step aside so he can run in a by-election — a process likely to delay his return to Parliament until the fall.

Mark Carney, who has never sat in Parliament and has only been a politician for four months, faces a lot of political puzzles after leading his Liberal Party to victory in Canada on Monday, and one huge challenge south of the border.

The former central banker was widely expected to win a majority but ended up coming short, with 169 seats in the House, just three short of a majority. That means that the path ahead is twistier than it would otherwise have been.

Alberta Premier Danielle Smithtabled a bill on Tuesday that will make it easier for voters in her province to force a referendum to secede from Canada. Though she has not endorsed separation, critics accuse her of exploiting the sentiment to animate her base and distract from other issues. The bill could theoretically clear the way for the province to become the 51st state.

The New York governor’s election might be over a year away, but the Republican primary race is already heating up as one ambitious, ex-moderate, pro-Trump New Yorker faces another.

Donald Trump said Wednesday that Prime Minister Mark Carney is headed to Washington, DC, within a week for a personal meeting, but there is reason to think that neither country is ready to get down to serious trade negotiations.
