With just two weeks to go before federal election day, this appears to have become a campaign between the past and the future. The Liberals represent the past. They appear likely to win because voters 55 and older will vote disproportionately for Mark Carney and his party.
This week’s debates may be a turning point if Carney flops and Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre can be more prime minister than smart-aleck.
Recently declassified FBI documents have exposed a troubling revelation about one of the Washington Post’s Pulitzer Prize-winning stories on Russian collusion. The documents show that FBI officials were aware the story contained false information, yet the newspaper was still awarded journalism’s highest honor.
The Liberals have opened up a seven-point lead over the Conservatives on Day 23 of the 36-day federal election campaign.
A three-day rolling sample by Nanos Research ending April 13 has the Liberals at 45 per cent (up a point) over the Conservatives (down one) who are at 38 per cent nationally.

Celebrities did not respond kindly to comedian Bill Maher visiting the White House for dinner with President Trump and were even more incensed over his retelling of the dinner.
As Canada barrels through one of the stormiest periods in its history toward an April 28 federal election, there’s a name that’s not on the ballot but is on people’s minds: Danielle Smith.
Ms. Smith, the premier of Alberta, the Western province often called the Texas of Canada because of its oil, ranches and conservative politics, is referred to as “divisive” by supporters and critics alike: People love her, people hate her, people love to hate her.
An unapologetic MAGA-aligned conservative, she has riled Canadians across the country by speaking admiringly of President Trump and focusing on her province’s fortunes, particularly its oil exports, even as the U.S. administration menaces Canada.
Ten tariff questions aren’t being asked — but should be.
1) President Trump’s so-called “trade war.”
Many call the American effort to obtain either tariff parity or a reduction in the roughly $1 trillion trade deficit and 50 years of consecutive trade deficits a “trade war.”
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney promised to crack down on free speech in his latest campaign stop in Hamilton, Canada.
He’s actually running on banning speech in his country in the final weeks of the election. The 2025 Canadian federal election is scheduled for April 28.

The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) has launched a review into how one of the Islamist terrorists behind the Manchester Arena bombing allegedly attacked three prison officers with weapons and boiling cooking oil.
Counter-terror police are leading an investigation into the “serious assault” by Hashem Abedi, who reportedly threw hot oil over three officers on Saturday before stabbing them with “homemade weapons”.
A Lawton has worked in Canada’s auto sector for more than a century.
Their children are “fifth generation Ford workers”, Kathryn Lawton said, and she and her husband both work for the carmaker in Windsor, the heart of Canada’s automobile sector, just a bridge away from the US state of Michigan.
So when US President Donald Trump suggested that Canada stole the American auto industry, Chad Lawton calls it “ludicrous”.
Germany’s prized Leopard 2 tanks are failing on the battlefield in Ukraine, according to an assessment by its defence ministry.
In a classified transcript of a meeting between a German defence attaché stationed in Kyiv and about 200 Bundeswehr soldiers, the diplomat revealed the difficulties Ukrainians are facing in operating the heavy weaponry.
Eighteen of the Bundeswehr’s mainstay Leopard 2 tanks made their way to Ukraine in 2023 after months of foot-dragging by Chancellor Olaf Scholz and a full-on national public debate about whether Berlin should send heavy weapons to Ukraine.
OTTAWA — Jaden Braves, 16, says being unable to vote in this federal election is a “disappointment” — and he’d like to be one of the last young Canadians to be left out of the conversation.
Braves and the organization he leads, Young Politicians of Canada, want to see the federal voting age lowered to 16.
“I hope that by the time I am 18, 16-year-olds that will be two years younger than me will have the chance to show up to the polls and cast a ballot,” said Braves, who is also involved with Vote 16 Canada and has a motion before Toronto city council that would extend municipal voting rights to 16- and 17-year-olds.
A trial in the landmark antitrust case against social media giant Meta kicks off in Washington on Monday.
The US competition and consumer watchdog alleges that Meta, which already owned Facebook, bought Instagram in 2012 and WhatsApp in 2014 to eliminate competition, effectively giving itself a monopoly.
The FTC reviewed and approved those acquisitions but committed to monitor the outcomes. If the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) wins the case it could force Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg to sell off both Instagram and WhatsApp.
Donald Trump’s tariff crusade has frequently made Lewis Carroll’s Mad Hatter look like a paragon of sanity. While is it is tempting to mock and deride the United States at the moment, Canadians need to remember where our economic bread is buttered. Despite anything politicians or leaders may say, and like it or not, Canada’s economic future and success is tied to the United States for the foreseeable future.
Engineers are racing to save the furnaces at British Steel’s Scunthorpe site after a “sabotage” attempt by its owners to push reliance on Chinese steel, the Times understands.
Ministers have stopped short of publicly accusing Jingye of deliberately trying to shut down the site, but sources told The Times that a string of actions pointed to the company taking steps that would lead to Britain becoming reliant on cheap Chinese steel.
Alberta Premier Danielle Smith said Prime Minister Mark Carney was being disrespectful last week with comments he made about her role in the trade war with the U.S.
Last weekend in Victoria, Carney joked about Canadian premiers appearing on Fox News, the conservative U.S. media outlet, saying it would be a “bad idea” to put Smith on the network to advocate for cross-border diplomacy.
