This Canadian federal election maybe the most consequential for Americans in recent history, so it might be worthwhile explaining how things work above the 49th parallel.

The letter targets my wife's background. We both feel uneasy about this, and feel like our privacy was invaded.

Niagara Falls—Niagara-on-the-Lake is another close LPC-CPC race that could use any help from non-LPC voters. It used to be a CPC seat.

“Along with virtually all its major peers, the Canadian dollar is rallying against the greenback as investors flee the U.S. financial markets, but it is also underperforming its safe haven counterparts as fear grips the world economy,” Karl Schamotta, chief market strategist at Corpay Currency Research, said in an email.

The Canadian dollar is down 4.4 per cent and 2.3 per cent against the Swiss franc and the Japanese yen, respectively, so far this month, compared with a 4.1 per cent gain versus the greenback.

15. Parliament, the Courts and the Charter

The Conservative Party believes that Parliament, rather than the courts, is the law-making body of Canada. We support the establishment of a parliamentary judicial review committee to prepare an appropriate response to those court decisions that Parliament believes should be addressed through legislation. We re-affirm the legitimacy of the entire Charter of Rights and Freedoms including section 33 (notwithstanding clause). We support legislation to remove authority from the Canadian Human Rights Commission and the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal to regulate, receive, investigate or adjudicate complaints related to section 13 of the Canadian Human Rights Act.

The Conservatives are using the final week of the election campaign to run advertisements where older men are telling other older men to vote for the party — a closing argument that would have been unthinkable only months ago, political advertising experts say.

In new television ads that are airing regularly during the heavily watched NHL playoffs, the Conservatives are playing one spot in which two seniors are golfing and discussing how tough life is for their children, and another where former prime minister Stephen Harper endorses Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre.

Neither commercial shows images of Poilievre.

"We're living in an upside-down world this campaign. Voters that were bedrock Conservative voters in the Harper era now need to be won over. And these are the boomers, 50-plus males," said Dennis Matthews, president of Creative Currency and a former advertising adviser to Harper.

As Canadians prepare to vote in a federal election during a period of global instability marked by trade disruptions, economic uncertainty, and armed conflict, the country’s political leadership remains notably traditional in one key respect: gender.

All of Canada’s major political parties are currently led by men, and Canada has never elected a woman as prime minister. Kim Campbell briefly held the office in 1993 after Brian Mulroney’s resignation as leader of the Progressive Conservative Party. Her short tenure ended with a historic electoral defeat for the Conservatives.

With global tensions rising and Canada facing unprecedented uncertainties, it may seem easy to overlook the lack of women on election ballots. But strong, inclusive leadership is a practical necessity in these uncertain times.

A growing body of research and real-world examples are challenging longstanding assumptions about what makes an effective leader. In times of crisis, traditional leadership styles marked by dominance and rigidity — usually associated with men — often fall short.

Instead, leadership styles marked by empathy, flexibility, and open communication — usually associated with women — are proving to be both effective and essential. This kind of leadership helps steady teams when emotions run high and the path forward is unclear — exactly the kind of qualities Canada may need in the near future.

One of the most persistent stereotypes in leadership is the idea that women are “too emotional” to lead effectively. But new research on leadership from the COVID-19 pandemic turns that assumption on its head.

Today in The Conversation Canada, Ivona Hideg and Winny Shen from York University and Tanja Hentschel from the University of Amsterdam explain their findings from a study examining how men and women leaders responded emotionally during the crisis.

They found that men in leadership positions were more likely to let emotions drive their behaviour during the pandemic than women were. In contrast, women leaders were more emotionally consistent, offering support for staff and refraining from lashing out.

Yet despite these findings, women are still underrepresented in leadership roles, especially in politics. The authors write: “When we consistently overlook those who lead with compassion, we risk losing out on exactly the kind of leadership that could help countries navigate the turbulent waters ahead.”

Afternoon y’all.

My company is trying to get me to go to the US to train some folks in our department, the problem is I don’t trust the US border agency whatsoever especially when it comes to my digital devices.

My boss crosses weekly so it makes me think there won’t be an issue however, I really don’t want to take the chance of being searched.

What’s been your recent experience crossing the border?

Edit: I should note that I haven’t left my province in about 15 years so this is all new to me.

Edit 2: Thank you all for the responses, I spoke with a majority of my co-workers and HR and for the most part everyone agrees that the Americans should come up to Canada or we train someone who is comfortable entering the US.

My HR department is going to speak with my boss hopefully sorts out a plan that works with everyone.

I hope this means what I think it means...
