Canada's Liberal Party Will Face Down Trump. But Will It Address Inequality?
Briefly

The 2025 Canadian federal election resulted in the Liberal Party retaining a minority government, surprising many due to the Conservative Party's prior polling lead. Liberal leader Mark Carney faces significant challenges, including economic crises such as housing affordability and health care, while overshadowed by the potential impact of a second Donald Trump term. The election highlighted a lack of focus on corporate power concentration, as parties prioritized aiding corporations over addressing public concerns, particularly during the profit surges witnessed during the pandemic without adequate government response.
During crises, corporations have the power to just raise profits at everyone else's expense, which was evident during the pandemic when prices surged without government intervention.
Despite Canadian concerns about the economy and affordability, political discourse focused more on aiding corporations rather than addressing their unchecked power.
Liberal leader Mark Carney faces the challenge of navigating crises amid a second Trump term while leading a government that failed to curb corporate profiteering.
The election outcome is surprising, with the Liberals maintaining power despite polling suggesting Conservative support, reflecting deeper complexities in Canadian voter sentiment.
