The year 2025 brings significant unknowns for Canada as the political and economic landscape evolves drastically. The incoming Conservative Prime Minister, Pierre Poilievre, signals a shift away from climate action, while the United States under President-elect Donald Trump threatens international trade and alliances.
As we enter 2025, predicting the future for Canadians seems impossible due to the potential for significant change. The political and economic landscape that enabled Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's surprise majority victory in 2015 is unrecognizable today.
The fight against climate change, a pressing issue for Canadians for decades, appears to be over, at least for now, with incoming Conservative Prime Minister Pierre Poilievre campaigning on scrapping the federal carbon rebate and criticizing the oil industry. Simultaneously, Canada's long-standing close ally, the United States, is undergoing a radical transformation under an incoming president, Donald Trump, who seems determined to dismantle democratic norms, international trade rules, and western alliances. Trump's actions threaten continental free trade, a cornerstone of Canada's economic prosperity, posing the most serious challenge since the 1995 Quebec sovereignty referendum. Like a bully, Trump appears to have chosen Canada as his target, unlike Mexico, which has neighboring Republican allies he might be hesitant to antagonize
