April 16, 2025 – Only 12 more days before Canadians go to the polls on April 28 amid anxiety over Trump’s shifting tariff threats and annexation plans.
Trump’s unjustified and unpredictable tariffs on countries all over the world, including Canada, have caused chaos and uncertainty worldwide sending the stock market to plummet into a possible recession. If you are eligible to vote, your vote is needed more than ever now to save Canada from Trump and his Canadian counterpart Conservative Party’s Poilievre.
This snap Federal election is not like any other election in the past. It is a crucial and historical event in Canada because Canada’s sovereignty is at stake in a rapidly upending world order. Every vote now is pivotal in shaping Canada’s future for many generations to come.
Canadian voters may wonder if a rookie like Liberal Mark Carney with no political experience is the best candidate for PM in this time of global economic crisis. The 37-day campaign period for this election is the shortest in Canada’s history. For the first time, a non-politician is running for a political post as the first publicly acknowledged practicing Catholic Prime Minister of Canada. The endorsement by a person who knows him well will assure them he is the perfect choice for the job. Please watch the video below to see why.
Diana Fox, a British economist specializing in developing nations, met Mark Carney while they were graduate students at the University of Oxford. They married in July 1994 while he was finishing his doctoral thesis. She is active in various environmental and social justice causes so voting for Carney would be like buying on a buy-one, take-two basis because they are a power couple.
Be part of Canadian history in the making on April 28. This is one of the most consequential elections of your lifetime. Vote for Carney and all Liberal MPs running in your neck of the woods so you can proudly say on April 29 that you voted to make Canada united and strong while it was under fire with tariff threats from its next door neighbor.
