The federal elections in Canada will take place this coming October 19th, 2015. This ballot could be a turning point in the political life of the country, because it already appears as a referendum to assess the "Harper decade".

Corps analyses

The stakes in this election are different for three main political strengths of the country. For the Conservatives, it will be a matter of keeping the power in order to pursue the reforms engaged since 2006. For Justin Trudeau's Liberal Party, it will be necessary to gain seats in order to forget the 2011 catastrophic defeat and to get back its major opponent title. For the New Democratic Party of Thomas Mulcair, it is necessary to confirm its status of second political strength of the country (since 2011) and to stand out as the only real alternative to Harper. Besides, these elections can highlight again the gaps created by the electoral system inherited from Westminster: between the results on a national scale on the one side, and the final composition of the Parliament (and consequently that of the government) on the other side.

The Europeans' worst security nightmare seems to be coming true: on Tuesday, February 18, 2025, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov met in Saudi Arabia to initiate the normalization of relations between their two countries. The meeting also aimed to set up peace negotiations for Ukraine. However, despite having the potential to affect the entire continent, the discussions took place without the Europeans or the Ukrainians being present.
