Canada 2025 to 2026: The Trudeau Exit, the Carney Reset, and the Trump Tariff War
Justin Trudeau resigned the Liberal leadership on January 6, 2025 after a caucus revolt and a Chrystia Freeland resignation that closed the December 16, 2024 fiscal cycle. Mark Carney, former Bank of Canada and Bank of England Governor, replaced him as Liberal leader on March 9, 2025, was sworn in as the 24th Prime Minister on March 14, and led the Liberals to a minority government in the April 28, 2025 federal election.

Simultaneously...

They are a coherent signal that the United States now treats sovereign borders, NATO commitments, and 1977-vintage treaties as renegotiable, and capital is starting to charge for it.
Between January 2025 and April 2026 the second Trump administration converted territorial rhetoric into operational pressure: a renewed sovereignty bid for Greenland, a public claim that the United States will take the Panama Canal back, a sustained 51st state framing of Canada, fentanyl-linked cartel designations against Mexico, the Gulf...
