With Canada's future relationship with the United States dominating the federal election campaign so far, a new poll is shedding some light on which party Canadians think would be best to manage the country's resources -- one of the pillars of our economic relationship with the Americans.
A re-elected Liberal government would slash years off the review process for major resource projects to help make Canada an "energy superpower" in clean energy and oil and gas, Liberal Leader Mark Carney promised Wednesday.

Millions of Americans flooded into the streets Saturday to protest President Donald Trump; his Department of Government Efficiency hatchet man Elon Musk; the GOP’s agenda to pay for tax cuts for the richest with cuts to Medicaid; preposterous cuts to science, health, and education; Trump’s mistreatment of trans kids and immigrants; as well Trump’s tariff blitz, which is decimating their retirement accounts.

Mark Carney says he wants Quebecers to use oil from Alberta rather than the United States — but a new pipeline would require Quebec’s blessing.
April 7, 2025 – It was a chaotic week across the globe and in Canada as U.S. President Donald Trump announced universal tariffs on nearly every nation in the world. And while “uncertainty” seems to be the defining word of the year, certainty does appear to be growing among Liberal voters who have yet to definitively commit to their preferred choice in the ongoing federal election.
In response to the escalating crisis surrounding President Trump's tariffs, executives from some of the world's most prominent banks, including Bank of America, Barclays, Citi, and HSBC, held a significant conference call over the weekend.
