Canadian Liberals Surge in Polls Following Trump’s Aggressive Policies

Anti-Trump nationalism has sparked a dramatic reversal in political fortunes for Canada’s Liberal Party, which now leads the Conservatives in polls after months of trailing.

The Liberal Party of Canada has gained a 2% lead over the Conservatives in recent polls after trailing by 26 points just six weeks ago.
Donald Trump’s threats to annex Canada and impose steep tariffs have fueled a wave of Canadian patriotism, benefiting the Liberals politically.
Justin Trudeau’s resignation as prime minister in January initially seemed to doom the Liberals, but his vocal defense of Canadian sovereignty has resonated with voters.
Mark Carney, a frontrunner to lead the Liberals, is seen as a strong candidate to stand up to Trump, with polls suggesting he could further boost the party’s support.
The Conservatives, led by Pierre Poilievre, face challenges in adapting their messaging as voters rally around national unity in the face of Trump’s rhetoric.
