Canada’s Liberals and Conservatives are neck and neck as election begins, and running on similar promises

Canada’s federal election is on. The polls show a polarized contest between the Liberals and Conservatives, one dominated by Donald Trump and the question of who’s best-suited to deal with his tariff and annexation threats. Canadian nationalism has surged. The Liberal Party, recently down 25 points in the polls to the Conservatives, have seen their fortunes turn around under new leader and Prime Minister Mark Carney — a man who’s been all too keen to, ahem, adapt ideas from his top rival.

Dem bias in Ottawa has Trudeau targeting Trump

An intense debate in the Canadian House of Commons has been about a humdrum trade deal update between Canada and Ukraine. Conservatives don't like that it references a carbon tax, and since Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre has made “axing the tax” his No. 1 priority, he has withdrawn his party’s support for the deal.
