Donald Trump's influence looms over Canada's poll as Liberals win

Donald Trump cast a long shadow over Canada's national election and many Canadian voters noticed. In his first 100 days back in the White House, the U.S. president has lobbed barbs at America's northern neighbour, levied tariffs on Canadian goods and talked about making Canada the 51st state. It had many Canadian voters thinking about Trump and how the parties on the ballot would respond to him. Prime Minister Mark Carney's Liberals won over Conservative opposition leader Pierre Poilievre, a dramatic reversal of fortune credited largely to Trump. Here are some voices from voters casting their ballots in Monday's elections: Poilievre sounds like mini-Trump' In Toronto, Reid Warren said he voted Liberal because he saw the party as the best amid what he characterized as real uncertainty in the economy particularly. I don't think there is a better choice right now, he said, voting in Toronto. "I know people believe in Poilievre but it's the same, like, soundbites that you get from .

Trump again flags Canada's reliance on US days ahead of federal election

President Donald Trump said Wednesday that Canada would cease to exist if it weren't for the United States comments that came just days before Canadians are set to vote in an election dominated by Trump's comments on the country's economy and sovereignty. Trump re-inserted himself into Canada's election during a signing ceremony inside the Oval office saying Canada would cease to exist as a country without the US buying goods from Canada. I have to be honest, as a state, it works great, said Trump, who previously threatened to make the country the 51st state through economic coercion. Trump reiterated his claim that the US doesn't need anything from Canada including autos and oil. We don't really want Canada to make cars for us, to put it bluntly. We want to make our own cars, Trump said. In recent weeks, Trump has dialled back his talk of Canada becoming the 51st state. He stopped saying it after a call with new Prime Minister Mark Carney last month. Trump also suggested Wedne

Canadian university teachers warned against non-essential travel to US

The association that represents academic staff at Canadian universities is warning its members against non-essential travel to the United States. The Canadian Association of University Teachers released updated travel advice Tuesday due to the political landscape created by President Donald Trump's administration and reports of some Canadians encountering difficulties crossing the border. The association says academics who are from countries that have tense diplomatic relations with the United States, or who have themselves expressed negative views about the Trump administration, should be particularly cautious about US travel. Its warning is particularly targeted to academics who identify as transgender or whose research could be seen as being at odds with the position of the current U.S. administration. In addition, the association says academics should carefully consider what information they have, or need to have, on their electronic devices when crossing the border, and take .

Senate rebukes Trump's Canada tariffs as some Republicans vote to block it

The Senate passed a resolution Wednesday night that would thwart President Donald Trump's ability to impose tariffs on Canada, delivering him a rare rebuke just hours after the president unveiled sweeping plans to clamp down on international trade. The Senate resolution, passed by a 51-48 vote tally, would end Trump's emergency declaration on fentanyl that underpins tariffs on Canada. Trump earlier Wednesday announced orders -- his so-called Liberation Day -- to impose import taxes on a slew of international trading partners, though Canadian imports for now were spared from new taxes. The Senate's legislation ultimately has little chance of passing the Republican-controlled House and being signed by Trump, but it showed the limits of Republican support for Trump's vision of remaking the U.S. economy by restricting free trade. Many economists are warning that the plan could cause an economic contraction, and GOP senators are already watching with unease as Trump upends the United ...

Senate vote to reverse Trump's tariffs on Canada tests Republican support

With President Donald Trump's so-called Liberation Day of tariff implementation fast approaching, Senate Democrats are putting Republican support for some of those plans to the test by forcing a vote to nullify the emergency declaration that underpins the tariffs on Canada. Republicans have watched with some unease as the president's attempts to remake global trade have sent the stock market downward, but they have so far stood by Trump's on-again-off-again threats to levy taxes on imported goods. Even as the resolution from Democratic Sen. Tim Kaine of Virginia offered them a potential off-ramp to the tariffs levied on Canadian imports, Republican leaders were trying to keep senators in line by focusing on fentanyl that comes into the US over its northern border. It was yet another example of how Trump is not only reorienting global economics, but upending his party's longtime support for ideas like free trade. I really relish giving my Republican colleagues the chance to not just

Donald Trump calls first talk with new Canadian PM 'extremely productive'

US President Donald Trump said Friday that his first call with new Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney was extremely productive and Carney said Trump respected Canada's sovereignty both in private and public but added that the relationship has changed. The call came as Trump has declared a trade war on Canada and has threatened to use economic coercion to make Canada the 51st US state, a position that has infuriated Canadians. Trump avoided any mention of that in his social media post and in public remarks later. "We had a very good conversation. Mark called me," Trump said. We had a very very good talk. He's going through an election. We'll see what happens. Trump didn't refer to the prime minister as governor as he did with Carney's predecessor Justin Trudeau. The US president, in his social media post, said the two sides agree on many things and will be meeting immediately after Canada's upcoming Election to work on elements of Politics, Business, and all other factors, that wil

Amid trade war, Canada's PM Mark Carney to speak soon with Donald Trump

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney on Thursday said he would speak with US President Donald Trump in the coming days after the latter announced 25 per cent tariffs on auto imports. Carney, who hasn't spoken with Trump since becoming Canada's new leader nearly two weeks ago, said the US president reached out on Wednesday night to schedule a call. "We will be speaking soon, certainly in the course of the next day or two," Carney said. He also said that Trump has to respect Canada's sovereignty. "That's not much to ask, but apparently it's a lot for him," he said. Trump has declared a trade war on Canada and continues to call for the United States' northern neighbour to become the 51st US state, a position that has infuriated Canadians. Carney was sworn in as Canada's new prime minister on March 14. It's unusual for a US president and Canadian prime minister to go so long without talking after a new leader takes office. Carney, who replaced Justin Trudeau as Canada's leader and th

US decision to limit Canadian access to border library sparks outcry

For more than 100 years, people in Stanstead, Quebec have been able to walk into Derby Line, Vermont to enter the border-straddling Haskell Free Library and Opera House no passport required. But municipal and library officials said on Friday that US authorities have unilaterally decided to end the century-old unwritten agreement. Coming at a time of heightened tensions between the two countries, the decision is prompting an outpouring of emotion in communities on both sides of the border, which in places has been marked simply by flower pots. Inside the library celebrated as a symbol of international friendship, Pauline Lussier and Chris Blais put their arms around each other's shoulders Friday as they stood on either side of the line taped down the floor marking the border. Lussier, a Canadian, and Blais, an American met for the first time that day. A line doesn't separate us, it never has, said Blais, who held an American flag in her hands while Lussier held a Canadian one. Our
