Carney warns Alberta separatists: Brexit-style regret could follow

Former Bank of England governor Mark Carney warned Alberta’s move to secede from Canada is a 'dangerous bluff' that could lead to Brexit-style regret, citing Britain’s long-term consequences after the 2016 referendum. Alberta Premier Danielle Smith has scheduled an Oct. 19 vote on independence as separatist sentiment grows amid oil interests and tensions with eastern Canada. Carney noted Smith doesn’t always heed his advice, while federal Conservatives vow to campaign against separation, all against a backdrop of broader trade strains and pipeline developments.

Canadians Cut Travel to U.S. Cities by 42% Amid Trump Era Policies

A University of Toronto cellphone-tracking study finds Canadians visiting major U.S. cities dropped 42% during Trump’s presidency—a steeper decline than official border data—with sharp falls in places like New York, New Hampshire, Vermont, Las Vegas, and Disney World. Canadian return trips from the U.S. fell 25% and U.S. visits to Canada fell 7.5%, with researchers suggesting some travelers may have relocated home amid broader policy tensions such as tariffs and stricter immigration enforcement. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney criticized U.S. policy and urged Canada to chart an independent course, arguing nostalgia is not the strategy.

Arbour named Canada's next governor general, a bilingual jurist with global stature

Prime Minister Mark Carney named Louise Arbour, a bilingual former Supreme Court justice and former UN human rights commissioner, as Canada’s next governor general, succeeding Mary Simon. Arbour’s international prosecutions—including indicting Slobodan Milošević and securing a genocide conviction in Rwanda—and her UN tenure underpin her decades-long influence on justice. As governor general she will represent the monarch in Canada in a largely ceremonial role, typically for a five-year term.

Canada maps a resilient growth path amid global turmoil

On the first anniversary of a surprising election win, Prime Minister Mark Carney’s government unveils a Spring Economic Update that touts Canada’s economy growing at the second-fastest pace in the G7, funds a sovereign wealth fund and a skilled-trades initiative, and lays out two scenarios—one favorable if oil stays high and global disruptions stay moderate, another bleaker due to widespread supply shocks—while emphasizing the USMCA protections and export diversification to shield Canada from a volatile world.

Canada launches 'people’s fund' to break from Trump-era U.S.

Canada will create a sovereign wealth fund open to citizens to invest in infrastructure and energy projects in an effort to reduce its reliance on the United States, a plan pushed by Prime Minister Mark Carney that he says will be a “people’s fund” modeled after Norway. The fund would back pipelines, nuclear generation, and a high‑speed rail network, signaling a more independent path amid tensions with Trump’s U.S. government.

Canada Cuts Gas Tax to Ease Soaring Fuel Costs

Prime Minister Mark Carney announced a temporary suspension of the federal gas and aviation-fuel excise tax through Labor Day to cushion Canadians from surging energy prices driven by the U.S.-Iran stalemate, cutting about 10 cents per liter and potentially costing up to C$2.4 billion in revenue; the move follows Liberal victories giving him a parliamentary majority, while Conservatives push for deeper relief.

Carney’s Majority Gets Its Test

One year after rescuing the Liberals from electoral disaster, Mark Carney clinched a razor-thin majority in Canada’s special elections, a historic feat that frees him to push his Canada Strong agenda through 2029—ramping up trade diversification away from the U.S., meeting NATO defense targets, expanding energy and digital sovereignty initiatives, and addressing cost‑of‑living pressures—while navigating an opposition and potential early votes.

Carney’s Liberals eye slim majority as three by-elections unfold

Mark Carney’s Liberals could clinch a slim majority in the Canadian House of Commons if they win three by-elections on Monday—two in the Toronto area (Scarborough Southwest and University‑Rosedale) and one near Montreal (Terrebonne). With the Liberals holding 171 of 343 seats, wins in Toronto would push them past the threshold, while Terrebonne remains a toss-up; the party has also benefited from five defections (four Conservatives and one NDP). Polls show the Liberals ahead of the Conservatives, and Carney has steered the party toward a more centrist stance, a shift that could delay any federal election until as late as 2029.
