Mark Carney didn’t even have a seat in Canada’s House of Commons when he replaced Justin Trudeau as prime minister and leader of the Liberal Party in March. At the time, it seemed his tenure would be a short one. With the federal election just seven weeks away, the Liberals were trailing the Conservative Party by seven points, 20 to 27.

Say what you will about Donald Trump — he knows how to drum up publicity. He's even managed to interest Americans in Canada’s upcoming federal election, now less than a week away. The president's influence on the contest was all but guaranteed last month, when he made good on his threats to levy a 25% tariff on Canadian steel and aluminum — with further duties on lumber and pharmaceuticals a possibility.

Did President Donald Trump potentially avert the Third World War last week by saying no to Israel? According to a report Thursday, Trump "waved off" demands from Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that the US support an airstrike against Iran's nuclear facilities. Trump reacted quickly to the story, suggesting he hadn't waved off Israel so much as he said, "I'm not in a rush to do it." Let's hope he is never in a rush to do it. The reason for his hesitation?
