The latest polling shows the Conservatives with a wide lead again, which means exactly nothing. Anyone paying attention to political public opinion polling in Canada could easily get a case of whiplash.

67% of Canadian Businesses Can Survive Trade War Lasting More Than 1 Year: Survey
More than two-thirds of Canadian businesses say they can survive a trade war with the United States that lasts longer than one year, according to a new survey of business owners.
While 67 percent of the business leaders surveyed by KPMG said they could withstand a 12-month trade conflict, 30 percent said they would also face “significant profit losses” if the tariff war lasted longer than that and 3 percent said their companies would go out of business in this scenario.
CHARLEBOIS: The cost of retaliation — Canada’s trade war misstep
The trade war between us and the Americans is no longer just academic. It’s real, and Canada is at the center of one. In response to escalating tariffs from the United States, Canada has chosen to retaliate. While standing up to protectionist policies is necessary, the federal government’s approach could ultimately harm Canadian consumers far more than it impacts American interests.
Federal parties gearing up for early election ‘any day now’ despite trade war
OTTAWA — While Canadians may be looking at job losses and a recession in the next few weeks due to U.S. President Donald Trump’s decision to launch a trade war with a close ally and partner, they could also be called to the polls in that same period.

In Canada’s hour of need, how will Dhimmi King Charles step up?
Queen: Ten Days in London.
During the current almighty brouhaha with the United States, concerned Canadians have been wondering about the conspicuous silence of their head of state, King Charles III, who seems to be hiding out behind a wall of silence when we need him most. U.S. President Donald Trump has been saying such ridiculous things about the King’s Canadian realm and has just unleashed punitive tariffs. So Canadians want to know: where the dickens is our head of state, who should be telling the Great Grifter to buzz off and concentrate instead on all the ills which beset his own ridiculously indebted country?

Because more Laurentian elite is just what this country needs!
Negative feelings about Pierre Poilievre pushing some voters toward Liberals, poll suggests
OTTAWA — Worsening feelings for Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre are helping push Canadian voters towards the federal Liberal party, a new poll suggests.
In an online survey published Wednesday, Pollara Strategic Insights found that 34 per cent of respondents were more open to voting for the governing Liberals by mid-February than at the end of last year.

Justin Trudeau says Trump is out to ruin Canadian economy with unjustified trade war to ‘annex us’ … nullifying his efforts to shop us to China
OTTAWA — The reality and the pain of a Donald Trump-led trade war set in Tuesday, and the tariff theatrics got weirder.
After the U.S. president slapped all Canadian and Mexican products with a 25 per cent import duty and a 10 per cent levy on oil and gas, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau channelled this country’s sense of dismay, betrayal and fury. He authorized counter-tariffs to fight back in an “unjustified” trade war launched by Trump whom he said is using border concerns as a pretext to collapse this country’s economy and “annex us.”
If after 10 years of ruinous Trudeau governance you regard the absolute worst PM ever as a patriot then you belong in the loony bin.
Trump, Trudeau set to speak on Wednesday amid tariff battle, source says
WASHINGTON, March 5 (Reuters) – U.S. President Donald Trump and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau are scheduled to a speak on Wednesday, a day after Trump’s new 25% tariffs on imports from Mexico and Canada took effect, according to a source with knowledge of the matter.
The tariff moves, which could upend nearly $2.2 trillion in annual trade, came after Trump declared that the top three U.S. trading partners had failed to do enough to stem the flow of fentanyl and its precursor chemicals into the U.S.
Trump may meet Canada, Mexico ‘in the middle’ on tariffs Wednesday: Lutnick
U.S. President Donald Trump may announce a deal with Canada and Mexico on Wednesday that sees the countries “meet in the middle” on tariffs, his commerce secretary said after the president launched a trade war Tuesday.
U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick told Fox News Trump will “work something out with them” after imposing 25 per cent tariffs on Canadian and Mexican goods and 10 per cent levies on Canadian energy. Canada launched retaliatory tariffs shortly afterward, with Mexico promising to do the same.

Do you think Canada will ever be able to secure its borders?:
Adversaries see opportunities to exploit ‘strategically valuable’ Arctic, CSIS says
OTTAWA — Canada’s spy agency warns that colliding global developments make the Arctic an “attractive, strategic and vulnerable destination” for foreign adversaries seeking to establish a presence in Canada.
A newly released Canadian Security Intelligence Service assessment flags the environment, critical infrastructure, economic activity and geopolitics as converging factors making the region susceptible to threats from abroad.
It sees resource extraction projects, increasing ship traffic, the building of ports and possible militarization of the Arctic as some of the avenues nefarious actors could use to gain a foothold in the region.
Trump’s Trade War Could Be His Biggest Economic Gamble
President Trump made one of the biggest gambles of his presidency Tuesday by initiating sweeping tariffs with no clear rationale on imports from Canada, Mexico and China, triggering a trade war that risks undermining the United States economy.
His actions have upended diplomatic relations with America’s largest trading partners, sent markets tumbling, and provoked retaliation on U.S. products — leaving businesses, investors and economists puzzled as to why Mr. Trump would create such upheaval without extended negotiations or clear reasoning.
TDS rage farming at Trudeau’s CBC which supported his every effort to destroy Canada
U.S.-eh? Who are the Canadians who would support a 51st state?
Fringe groups support the notion of joining the United States in the face of Trump’s threats
It may surprise and even enrage many people to know there are Canadians out there who wouldn’t mind this country becoming the 51st state of the U.S.
It’s a small number, to be sure: About 10 per cent of Canadians say they would support Canada joining the U.S., according to a poll by the Angus Reid Institute, completed in January.
Ryan Hemsley, who lives in Victoria, sees himself in that camp.
Samuel Johnson – “Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel.” Often the 1st frankly.
Trudeau is no patriot and the CBC just a mouthpiece for his Globalist scams.
How will Trump’s tariff war affect China, Canada and Mexico?
President Trump’s long-promised trade war is finally under way. As with all wars, it may be easier to start than stop.
Canada, already riled and unsettled by Trump’s funny-not-funny demand that it become America’s 51st state, hit back immediately, announcing almost matching tariffs of its own.
The US’s northern neighbour believes it can inflict real pain and make Trump think again: American refineries are big consumers of Canadian crude oil, though tariffs on energy will be just 10 per cent. Mexico is launching a “Made in Mexico” campaign.
A Unity Government?
Two calls for same …
If Carney wins, should he call an election, or try to keep governing? There’s a third option he should consider
In a period of crushing uncertainty, Canadians will face a somewhat predictable political narrative in the next several months.
On March 9, the winner of the Liberal leadership race becomes prime minister.
Given the fluidity of the polls and the surge in support for a Mark Carney-led Liberal Party, a new government may call a snap election, and we’ll find ourselves in the thick of a spring campaign, with Tory leader Pierre Poilievre finally getting his shot at leading the country
Tasha Kheiriddin: To tackle tariffs, Canada needs a unity government
Welcome to the 2025 trade wars. United States President Donald Trump’s tariffs threaten to upend Canada’s economy, and those of the world at large. Millions of Canadians could lose their jobs and businesses. The hour demands leadership like never before. So what should Ottawa do, and not do? I’ve got a few ideas, but I will start with the most radical: form a national unity government.
