Donald Trump’s Triffs and Canada

Yesterday was the day American President called liberation day, but many citizens in the world was slap in the face.

Donald Trump’s liberation day was triffs day that changed the prices of goods around the world, some effectively and some in the coming days. Although most nations faced way fewer rates than was anticipated, Canada is still not happy with the outcome.

Liberation day’s American triffs was present as 10% baseline for all countries that trade with US except Canada and Mexico. Those countries got exception b cause USMCA trade agreements that replaced NAFTO in 2018.

Any product that falls under USMCA are excluded from the new triffs. However, Canada is already facing border, care makers, metal and aluminum triffs that is going to stay.

Part Two: Muslim Votes in Edmonton

Our part one post of Edmonton votes was explained three of five ridings we think Muslims can make a difference. Edmonton Centre, Griesbach and Manning. The remaining two are Edmonton Northwest and Edmonton Gateway.

These two ridings are the reaults of the new seats added in Edmonton federal constituencies. This years Alberta’s MPs have growing from 34 to 36.

Northwest riding which includes Castledowns is very new and has no incumbent and has already Conservative and NDP candidates. The number of Muslims in this riding is very high and there is no doubt that they can make difference very easy.

Gateway riding which is a portion of the old Millwoods riding has an incumbent , Tim Uppal a former rival and contentor of Amerjeet Sohi in Edmonton Millwoods riding for the past two elections.

This constituency has a few mosques and large muslim residents that can tilt the vote to win and lose. Markazul Islam is the begist mosque in this riding.

Election Day Four

We are in day four of the election and leaders of political parties are still in the east. Liberal leader, Mark Carney is in the border city of Windsor, On, while NDP, Jagmeet Singh is in Hamilton, On. Conservative leader, Pierre Poilievre is in Quebec city, Quebec.

Although is very early of the election, we started seeing the predictions of the end results of this election. Things may change for the better or worst for every party, but Liberals are going ahead from the Conservatives.

All polls are showing that Mark Carney and his team may hold the power and possibly increase the number of seats at the end of the campaign. However, this gain is likely coming at the cost of NDP and Block Quebecois. Both parties are shrinking to a single number seats at this time’s indications.

Canadian Political Leaders Are on the Road this Morning

Leaders of Canadian political parties are on the road meeting voters to sell their messages. All of them are in the eastern provinces, where most votes are.

Mark Carney was further east to pitch his carbon tax elemination for his first day as Prime Minister. Pierre Poilievre is in Ontario and Jagmeet Sign is in Montreal, Quebec.

They will come to Alberta but most likely, they will spend very little time since most of the seats are predetermined for Conservatives. Only five of 36 seats are up for grap for Liberal and NDP.

Those seats that are very challenging in Alberta are two in Calgary and three in Edmonton. Even these ridings except Edmonton-Strathcona are open for Conservatives.

Except Strathcon riding around the Alberta University, all other comparative constituencies have a large number of muslim population. Would Muslims in Alberta vote strategically? An who would organize them?

Muslim Votes in Edmonton!

Muslims are one of many visible communities in Edmonton, the city of the home the Canada’s oldest mosque. The tide races of this election maybe determined by a fewer votes in many ridings in Canada.

Muslim Edmontonians are able to be one of the decision makers in Edmonton ridings if they pull their vote together. There are five of the nine Edmonton seats where Muslim Edmontonians could give thousands of votes.

Following ridings are the areas where Muslim vote in Edmonton could be determining.

Edmonton Centre:

Edmonton Centre is the inner circle riding where a large number of muslim youth, single families and the new comers live in. It’s also home of Quba, Sahaba, Darul Islam mosques and many others. That means this has the number of people needed and bases to organize them.

Edmonton Griesbach:

Griesbach is very young riding north of Edmonton downtown. This is one of the largest Muslim populated constituency in Edmonton and it hosts many mosques including Al-Rashid and Al-Omare. Founded in 2015 election, this riding had only two different MPs.

Blake Desjarlais is current and NDP MP, and Kerry Diotte of Conservatives who won first and second elections (2015/2019), and current candidate for CPC. The highest number that a winner got since 2015 is 21,000 votes. This is a riding in which Muslims could get that number or closer to make sure their vote counts.

Edmonton-Manning:

Manning is also one of the new once that become a riding in the first decade of 2000. Since then it has one Conservative MP who won all the elections, Ziad Aboultaif, a Duras business man who plays with his name and ethnicity to deceive Muslims.

This ridings CPC’s support is strong and to challenge him needs more time and sophistication to show that Muslim vote in Manning has a weight.

Staytune for next post to know other two ridings.

Edmonton Centre MP, Randy Boissonnault’s has Announced not Running for Reelection

MP and former Employment Minister, Randy Boissonnault’s has confirmed through X post that he is not seeking for reelection.

This opens rumours that Mark Carbey, Canadian Prime Minister may run from Edmonton Centre. No one for sure now, but we might have a well-known if not the MP.

Siad Ahmed is the Conservative Candidate and Trisha Eastabrook is for the NDP. They may face a stronger candidate than Randy.

What issues do you think Muslims should consider when they checking who to vote for? And why?
