Canada just wrapped up a critical election, and the aftershocks are already rippling across global markets.
New leadership signals new policies.
Trump’s looming tariff threats against Canada (and other trading partners) have investors on high alert.
Quick Recap: What Happened in Canada?
- Canada’s recent federal election saw strong gains for the Conservative Party, weakening the ruling Liberals’ grip.
- The new leadership leans towards pro-business, lower-tax policies.
- But uncertainty looms over Canada-US trade relations as Donald Trump, the leading 2024 Republican nominee, threatens new tariffs if elected.
Canada’s political shake-up could boost local investment confidence, but global trade tensions threaten stability.
How Trump’s Tariff Threats Change the Game

Elections Shift Markets — Smart Investors Shift Faster
The 2025 Canadian election isn’t just local news. It’s a global economic signal.
If Trump wins and tariffs resurface, it won’t just hit North America — it could ripple through:
- Nigerian oil exports,
