Until very recently, Canadian politics were shifting in U.S. President Donald Trump ’s favor.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau , who has had a difficult relationship with Trump in the past, announced in January that he plans to resign.

Mark Carney , the ex-governor of the Bank of Canada , won the Liberal leadership on March 9 .

Canada 's Conservative Party has shown a willingness to compromise on Ukrainian sovereignty, writes Andrew Hammond .

Hammond: Trump has upended both Poilievre ’s path to power and positions he would likely assume if he were to take office.

Hammond says the Conservatives are caught in a bind: They must show unity against the U.S. president.

Kevin Yin : U.S. needs strategic resources from Canada to help wind down trade dependence on China .

Yin : China 's dominant role in critical mineral deposits and processing can only be overturned with a concerted effort from a number of allies, Canada being chief among them.

Canada was already the largest exporter of minerals and metals to the United States , ahead of China .
