Our latest polling points to a country wrestling with competing impulses—on one hand, a strong desire for a shift in direction; on the other, a fear of disruption in a period of uncertainty.

Canada is strongest when we are united. That means creating one Canadian economy, instead of thirteen.

Today, I’m sharing my plan to build that, together: https://t.co/QnYKB3gdgR

From Scarcity to Uncertainty: The Changing Mindset of Canadians

New research and analysis from me and ⁦@EddieShepp⁩ https://t.co/AuwPZ9xMFy

[David Coletto 🇨🇦 @DavidColetto]

“For the past few years, Canadians have navigated a scarcity mindset, shaped by housing shortages, rising costs, strained healthcare, and job insecurity. This competition for essential resources fueled frustration, shifting views on immigration, climate change, and housing, driving many voters away from the Trudeau-led Liberalsin search of relief.

Now, we see a new mindset emerging – one defined by uncertainty. The tariffs imposed by the Trump Administration yesterday only adds to that uncertainty.”

Game on — Congressman Greg Meeks, the ranking Democrat on the Foreign Affairs Committee, is introducing resolutions to terminate the tariff emergency.

[Ed Krassenstein @EdKrassen]

BREAKING: Justin Trudeau is specifically asked if he believes that Trump's tariffs are an Act of War.

His answer is tremendous.

"Canadians are not angry at the American people for this. We don’t have anything against Americans. Americans are our neighbors, our friends, our partners. We do things together, we’ve done things together for decades and generations. This is a policy decision by the American government (Donald Trump), designed to go after the Canadian economy. This is a trade war — yes. But Canadians are hurt, Canadians are angry. We’re going to choose to not go on vacation to Florida or Old Orchard Beach or wherever. We’re gonna choose to try to buy Canadian products and forgo bourbon and other classic American products. We’re probably going to continue booing the American National Anthem. But let me tell Americans — we’re not booing you, we’re not booing your teams, we’re not booing your players -- we’re booing a policy that is designed to hurt us."

How can anyone view Trump as the good guy in this Trade war?

[National Newswatch @natnewswatch]

Trudeau says Trump's 'dumb' trade war is designed to collapse the Canadian economy. PM says Trump is trying to make it easier to annex Canada — but it won't work, @JPTasker reports. https://t.co/JlzvWGbyR8

A Justin Trudeau quote that will long be remembered:

“𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙐𝙣𝙞𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙎𝙩𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙨 𝙡𝙖𝙪𝙣𝙘𝙝𝙚𝙙 𝙖 𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙙𝙚 𝙬𝙖𝙧 𝙖𝙜𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙨𝙩 𝘾𝙖𝙣𝙖𝙙𝙖, 𝙞𝙩𝙨 𝙘𝙡𝙤𝙨𝙚𝙨𝙩 𝙥𝙖𝙧𝙩𝙣𝙚𝙧 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮, 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙞𝙧 𝙘𝙡𝙤𝙨𝙚𝙨𝙩 𝙛𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙙. 𝘼𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙖𝙢𝙚 𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙮’𝙧𝙚 𝙩𝙖𝙡𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙖𝙗𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙥𝙤𝙨𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙫𝙚𝙡𝙮 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙍𝙪𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙖, 𝙖𝙥𝙥𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙑𝙡𝙖𝙙𝙞𝙢𝙞𝙧 𝙋𝙪𝙩𝙞𝙣: 𝙖 𝙡𝙮𝙞𝙣𝙜, 𝙢𝙪𝙧𝙙𝙚𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙨 𝙙𝙞𝙘𝙩𝙖𝙩𝙤𝙧. 𝙈𝙖𝙠𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙢𝙖𝙠𝙚 𝙨𝙚𝙣𝙨𝙚."

[Mackenzie Gray @Gray_Mackenzie]

PMJT starts off his presser saying “So today the US launched a trade war against Canada, their closest partner and ally, their closest friend. At the same time, they're talking about working positively with Russia, appeasing Vladimir Putin, a lying, murderous dictator.” #cdnpoli

Trudeau: I want to speak first directly to the American people… your government has chosen to do this to you. Your government has chosen to put American jobs at risk. They have chosen to raise costs for American consumers on everyday essential items…

[Andrew Coyne 🇺🇦🇮🇱🇬🇪🇲🇩 @acoyne]

The world is never going to forgive America for this. Certainly it is never going to trust it again.

[Althia Raj @althiaraj]

Trudeau says he was holding out hope that the tariffs were a negotiation ploy to court investment in the U.S., but now he believes that Trump’s goal is a total collapse of the Canadian economy so that he can “annex” Canada. Trudeau adds that this will never happen.

[John Ibbitson @JohnIbbitson]

“What he wants is to see a total collapse of the Canadian economy, because that'll make it easier to annex us." This is the most extraordinary statement by a Canadian prime minister in the history of this country. The Trump administration is at war with Canada.

[Rob Gillezeau @robgillezeau]

It would be nice to think that the Trump regime is just economically illiterate, but it appears that their genuine intent is to actively impose harm on Canadians and to do so in an escalating fashion.

[BC Hydro @bchydro]

Today, Hon. @adriandix, Minister of Energy and Climate Solutions, announced that the Province plans to roll out new legislation in spring 2025. This will give the BC Energy Regulator (BCER) the authority to oversee renewable energy projects like wind and solar.

This new legislation will help accelerate renewable energy projects across the province and support the critical initiatives we are taking here at BC Hydro to meet the growing demand for renewable electricity. Learn more: https://t.co/9RfLxf1WtA

Flavio Volpe, of Canada's Automotive Parts Manufacturers' Association:

"The auto sector is going to shut down within a week. Talk to me next week and we'll see who’s still open. But we don't have to be the ones to tell Trump that — Detroit will."
