President Donald Trump’s recent comments about potentially annexing Canada have sparked a surge in Canadian nationalism. Initially struggling due to dissatisfaction with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and rising living costs, the Liberal Party has seen a reversal in its decline in the polls.
Recent surveys indicate that the Conservatives’ lead has diminished significantly, with the Liberals gaining momentum, particularly if they appoint former Bank of England Governor Mark Carney as their leader. The focus of the upcoming election has shifted from domestic issues to national sovereignty and relations with the U.S., prompting both parties to reconsider their campaign strategies in response to Trump’s unpredictable rhetoric.
