How Trump's Threats Played A Role In The Comeback Of Trudeau's Liberal Party

The Liberal Party of Canada has made a stunning comeback, surpassing the Conservative Party in polls for the first time in four years. According to a recent Ipsos survey, the Liberals now hold a 2% lead over the Conservatives, a significant shift from the 26% deficit they faced just six weeks ago.
This dramatic turnaround is largely attributed to the anti-Trump sentiment sweeping Canada. US President Donald Trump's aggressive stance on trade and territorial expansion has led to a surge in Canadian patriotism, with many rallying behind their government in opposition to Trump's policies.

The situation is a far cry from the bleak outlook faced by the Liberal Party just a few weeks ago. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's resignation on January 7, following intense unpopularity and opposition from within his own party, seemed to signal the end of the Liberal Party's chances. However, the party's fortunes have since reversed, with the Liberals gaining significant ground in the polls.

The Ipsos survey published on February 25 reported that 38% of voters now favour the Liberals, while 36% support the Conservatives. This shift is a remarkable reversal of the situation just six weeks prior, when the Conservatives held a commanding 46% to 20% lead over the Liberals.

Trump's aggressive rhetoric, including his claims that the US will annex Canada and make it the 51st state, has been met with widespread criticism and ridicule. Trudeau, in a passionate speech, highlighted the long history of cooperation and friendship between Canada and the US, from fighting together in World War II to providing aid during natural disasters. Trudeau's words struck a chord with Canadians, who are increasingly feeling a sense of betrayal and humiliation at the hands of the US.

As Trudeau so eloquently put it, "We will stand strong for Canada. We will stand strong to ensure our countries continue to be the best neighbors in the world... This is Team Canada at its best."

It's Official, Kamala Harris Is Democratic Candidate For US Election

US Vice President Kamala Harris effectively secured the Democratic party's presidential nomination Friday, confirming her remarkable rise to party standard bearer in November's showdown against Republican Donald Trump. Kamala Harris was the sole candidate on the ballot for a five-day electronic vote of nearly 4,000 party convention delegates. She will be officially crowned at a Chicago convention later this month. "I am honored to be the presumptive Democratic nominee for President of the United States," Kamala Harris, 59, said on a phone-in to a party celebration after securing enough votes by the second day of the marathon vote. In the two weeks since President Joe Biden ended his reelection bid, Kamala Harris has gained full control of the party. No other Democrats stepped forward to challenge her elevation to the top of the ticket, making her confirmation as the first Black and South Asian woman ever to secure a major party's nomination a formality. The a...

Muhammad Now The Most Popular Name For A Baby In Great Britain, Data Shows

427 years after William Shakespeare wrote it for the first time in the great "tragedy" Romeo & Juliet, England is asking the quintessential question - "What's in a name?" - And this time wondering what significance that question might hold in another 42.7 years. The Department of Statistics in the United Kingdom has revealed in its latest dataset that Muhammad is officially the most popular name for a newborn boy in England and Wales. More than 4,600 babies were registered with that name in 2023 - the highest for a boy. Muhammad was the second-most popular name in 2022 as well. Noah, once the most popular name in UK, came a distant second this year, according to the Office for National Statistics or ONS. But the staff at Great Britain's statistical office has in-fact been observing the trend for a while now. Jotting down the most popular names in the UK, besides other important statistics, it revealed that Muhammad has been among the top 10 names for...

US Issues $25-Million Bounty On Venezuela President On Day Of His Oath

Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, whose nearly 12 years in office have been marked by deep economic and social crisis, was sworn in for a third term on Friday, despite a six-month-long election dispute, international calls for him to stand aside and an increase in the US reward offered for his capture. Maduro, president since 2013, was declared the winner of July's election by both Venezuela's electoral authority and top court, though detailed tallies confirming his victory have never been published. Venezuela's opposition says ballot box-level tallies show a landslide win for its former candidate Edmundo Gonzalez, who is recognized as president-elect by several countries including the United States. International election observers said the vote was not democratic. The months since the election have seen Gonzalez's flight to Spain in September, his ally Maria Corina Machado going into hiding in Venezuela, and the detentions of high-profile opposition figures and ...
