For the second day in a row, Liberal Leader Mark Carney has been pulled away from campaigning to discuss U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs.

Carney, in his role as prime minister, will meet virtually with Canada's premiers today to discuss the country's response to Trump's latest duties.

The president signed an executive order earlier this week to implement 25 per cent levies on all automobile and auto part imports his latest move to upend global trade through a massive tariff agenda that pushed some automakers' stock prices down on Thursday.

Carney told reporters on Parliament Hill on Thursday that he was organizing the meeting and said the discussion among others with business leaders, unions and Indigenous leaders would help Canada have a single co-ordinated response to Trump.

NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh is set to make an announcement in Toronto today and Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is scheduled to hold a press conference in Nanaimo, B.C.

Recent polls suggest the top question Canadian voters are asking themselves in this election campaign is which leader is best able to fight for Canada's interests in the face of the Trump administration's constant economic threats.

Eby says NDP not looking to force early election as opposition turmoil dominates B.C. politics

Premier David Eby says his New Democratic Party government is not seeking a snap election in 2026, despite a turbulent year at the legislature and ongoing instability within the Opposition B.C. Conservatives. In a year-end interview, Eby said British Columbians want stability as the province navigates economic pressure, labour unrest and sensitive court rulings involving Indigenous rights. The premier’s comments come after a politically difficult year for the minority-turned-narrow-majority NDP, which won the October 2024 election by a single seat. The government faced backlash over resource
