Canada is standing at the crossroads of political transformation. As Pierre Poilievre rises to prominence, his Conservative Party is making bold moves to capitalize on growing discontent with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government. But this isn’t just another political story—this is a turning point for Canada’s identity and direction. One that finds it more in alignment with the mood in America and less so with the United Kingdom.

• What’s driving the dramatic shift in Canadian politics?

• How are labor unrest and economic instability reshaping public opinion?

• Why does Canada’s parliamentary system offer a critical advantage in times of political crisis?

These are the big questions I tackle in this week’s premium newsletter, where I’ve expanded my deep dive into the Conservatives’ rise under Poilievre and what it means for Canada’s future.

Inside This Edition:

• The Collapse of Liberal Confidence: What Chrystia Freeland’s resignation reveals about Trudeau’s waning influence.

• A Labor Reckoning: How strikes and economic uncertainty are driving Canadians to seek change.

• Parliamentary Power Moves: Why Canada’s system of government is built for moments like this—and how it contrasts with the gridlock in the U.S.

• The Conservative Vision: Poilievre’s populist playbook and his plan to win the hearts (and votes) of Canadians. And a warning for US-based MAGA

I unpack what’s happening beneath the surface and why it matters—not just for Canada, but for the USA.
