The biggest news of the last few days was PM Carney’s first phone call with Donald Trump. Carney notably broke with tradition and did not make the US his first call after becoming Prime Minister earlier in March. Instead, he waited for Trump to reach out first and that happened at the end of this week.
This morning I spoke with President Trump:

🍁 The Government of Canada is spending some ad loonies in the US…
As part of its ongoing response to the trade war that Trump started, the Canadian government has launched an anti-tariff billboard campaign in 12 mostly Republican states as well as DC.
(OP personally hopes the Cheeto in Chief has to see one any time he leaves the White House.)
The federal government has launched an anti-tariff billboard campaign in 12 mostly Republican-voting states and in Washington, D.C. Messages on the billboards include, “Tariffs are a tax at the gas pump” and “Tariffs are a tax on hardworking Americans.”

🍁 Meanwhile, it sounds like the Conservative Party is starting to unravel at the seams…
The CBC is reporting today that multiple sources within the CPC are describing Pierre Poilievre’s campaign as “dysfunctional,” “highly disorganised,” and “a mess.” They say there’s no clear master plan, and the campaign is floundering as it tries to come up with a cohesive and effective response to the Trump tariff threat while simultaneously trying to craft a new identity for a party leader that, up until late January, was proudly aligning himself with Trump and the MAGA movement. And, despite the fact Poilievre has been calling for an early election for a year, many campaign staffers had no idea what their roles or responsiblities would be until the writ was dropped last Sunday.
🍁 Lastly, let’s take a quick look at the CBC Poll Tracker…
Remember to take any and all polls with a grain of salt! Especially when it comes to aggregated polls like these; they’re an indicator of nation-wide trends only. The most important thing is to pay attention what’s happening in your own riding, and plan your vote accordingly.
