CANADA

Homepagemarkets-real-timePolitical RiskPolitical Risk BulletBulletMarketsFixed Income BulletsForeign Exchange Bullets
  • Trudeau gets little attention from meeting last week with US VP Harris, and his speech to the SEIU union in Philadelphia references an image problem familiar in Washington. Trudeau says in speech Tues that while many indicators show the economy is doing well many people are preoccupied with high cost of living.
  • Two dozen US Senators send Trudeau a letter urging him to boost military spending to NATO's target of 2% of GDP. Trudeau says he's rebuilding after the last govt but gives no timeline to meet the target.
  • FM Freeland forced by Speaker to withdraw comment that Conservative Leader Poilievre appeared to be wearing more make-up than she was, a signal the next election will be divisive. Poilievre was kicked out of Parliament by the Speaker earlier this month for an unparliamentary comment.
  • Polling aggregator 338Canada shows Conservatives likely to win majority government if an election were held now. Election is due in late 2025 under traditional four-year mandate.
  • Sample headlines: Liberals like to portray Pierre Poilievre as scary, but a lot of Canadians simply aren’t frightened (Toronto Star); The Liberals lob their last-minute weapon 17 months from an election (Globe and Mail); Tom Mulcair: With Trudeau spiralling, Mark Carney waits in the wings (CTV); Sorry, Ottawa, but magical thinking won’t fix the economy (Globe).
