Canada is in the midst of a national election that will determine the future of Canada and of the Canadian-American alliance.

At this critical juncture, it’s essential that the United States and President Trump secure the best tariff deal with Canada. This will maximize U.S. leverage in tariff negotiations and will provide Canadians critical information about how to end tariffs on their country.

While the election in Canada is next Monday, April 28, well over 7 million Canadians have already voted early, with an estimated 10–11 million Canadians yet to vote. It is essential that Canadian voters be informed which major party candidate will be able to achieve the best trade deal with the United States — Conservative Pierre Poilievre or Liberal Mark Carney — far enough in advance of election day.

This is especially important to Canadians because the economic situation in Canada impacts the overwhelming majority of Canadians. If Canada chooses a leader who can work with America to remove tariffs, that can mean the beginning of an economic boom in Canada. However, if Canadians choose a candidate who is unlikely to make a good deal with the United States, that could result in a steep recession in Canada, with very serious implications.

In order to achieve the most beneficial deal to both sides, it is of great importance that President Trump and the Treasury Department achieve a framework deal in advance of Canadian elections.

This would effectively pit both major party candidates in a competition of ideas, vying for American approval. If the United States waits until after election day in Canada, that would allow the Canadian government flexibility to stall trade negotiations with the United States and to attempt to achieve a far inferior deal that is bad for the United States, is bad for Canada,

I suggest we sit back and watch.
Let Canada choose on their own.

They either Choose Wisely or they Choose Poorly.

I have serious doubts if enough Canadian citizens have enough of a clue to know the difference.
