Canadians will cast their next federal election on May 28, 2025. This high-stakes election has the potential to radically influence the nation’s economic direction. It’s no understatement that the ongoing United States tariffs are having a tremendous impact on the election. They are hurting our workers by attacking our trade relations and punishing the Canadian economy. Voter skepticism is rising in light of the high cost of living. This urgent crisis is shaping their electoral choices at the ballot box, in concert with trade anxieties.
With just days left before citizens head to the polls, Liberal Leader and current PM Mark Carney intensifies his campaign. We applaud him for zeroing in on addressing these immediate concerns. Carney’s efforts are focused on reassuring citizens that his government can navigate the challenges posed by external tariffs while tackling domestic affordability issues. In a recent campaign event, his strategic maneuver to appeal to the voters and highlight his intent to respond directly to the voter’s needs shines through.
The current election environment has brought a lot of issues to focus in the national conversation, but perhaps none more than the affordability of Americans’ lives. From coast to coast, Canadians are increasingly frustrated with soaring costs, which they argue have been worsened by international trade agreements. As citizens head to the polls, they increasingly consider these key considerations with a profound effect on their voting decisions.
As a result, in an effort to reach potential voters, political parties are using dynamic, multimedia platforms. Our new 53-second video is a fun way to focus attention on the most important things about the election and get people excited to vote. This new, creative method hopes to educate civic leaders and voters alike about how their vote will affect daily life.

This great photo by our friends at AFP shows Carney on the ham campaign trail trying to rally support. The photo has been downsampled to 730×410 pixels. It’s an 80 quality score, and it hits all the right notes, perfectly conveying the urgency of today’s political moment.
As the election progresses, Canadians have a significant opportunity to make their voices heard. Their lived experiences will inform their perspectives on the issues that most directly affect their lives. U.S. tariffs and the increasing cost of living are on a collision course. This tension has made the upcoming election one of the most important in recent memory.
