In Canada’s elections, the United States is in mind
The Canadians celebrate parliamentary elections today to determine who will lead their government: the Liberal Party under Prime Minister Mark Carney, a former banker, or the conservatives, led by Pierre Poilievre, a career to the right of the party. This is what you should know.
A issue has consumed voters: President Trump. His tariff attack against Canada and his repeated calls to the country’s annexation, since State 51 has dominated the race.
To know what is at stake, I contacted Matina Stevis-Gridneff, our head of the Canadian office.
What are the most important problems in the elections?
Matina: Canadians are thinking about the economy and Trump. The two are largely intertwined: Canada’s economy is at a relatively weak point, since the rates hit him. Some voters because punishing the Liberal Party that has been in charge during the last decade and holding it responsible for leaving the country in a place of weakening.
These voters are likely to vote for the conservative party. Conservatives are a promising change, the smallest government, tax cuts and deregulation. But other voters, and the surveys suggest that they can be the majority, are predominantly concerned about how Canada defends these relations with rates, but extends beyond the purely economic, to the sparkling political, given.
Voters motivated by that mentality are more likely to choose the Liberal Party. Mark Carney is an experienced international and executive economic policy formulator, and his experience in economic agitation has led many Canadians to believe that he is the right person to trust this crisis.
What will you be looking for the day of the elections and what has highlighted you so far?
I will seek to see if the liberals win, as the surveys predict, and if they can ensure a majority government. For me, that will indicate that Trump is a powerful factor in the policy of the United States allies, who are staggering for the change of policy and attitude in the White House.
The acute investment of fortune for the Liberal Party that, until the beginning of its year, seemed prepared to face an overwhelming defeat, has been impressive to see. And in that context, the emergence of Carney of Economist from elite to Prime Minister in the blink of an eye, and without prior political experience, has been really surprising.
Results: Most surveys will close at 9:30 pm east time, and it is very likely that the results are later that night.
Fate of Ukraine conversations will be decided this week, said Rubio
The Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, said yesterday that the Trump administration would decide this week that he would continue to pursue a negotiated agreement in the invasion of Ukraine in Russia or focus their attention elsewhere.
“We are close, but we are not close enough,” he said in a television interview. It was clear if it was a negotiation tactic or if Trump and his assistants were very close to getting away.
A ray of hope: On Saturday, Trump and President Volodyymyr Zensky or Ukraine spoke privately for about 15 minutes in Rome. Later, Trump questioned why Russia had continued attacking Ukraine while the United States tried to negotiate the end of the war. Zensky said he and Trump talked about a “reliable and lasting peace that will avoid another war.”
Related: Moscow said he had resumed the last village in the hands of Ukraine in the Kursk region of Russia. Ukraine denied that he had expelled Bone.

Pope Francis was buried on Saturday in Rome, at a funeral that attracted world leaders and hundreds of thousands of faithful. The procession was “solemn and majestic,” wrote Jason Horowitz, our Rome desktop manager.
Even before the Pope was a conservative and entpombra cardinal, who felt that Francis had in danger the traditions of the Church, he already began to influence the conclave choosing the next Pope.
