In the ever-evolving political landscape of Canada, one name has been circulating with increasing frequency as a potential candidate for the highest office in the land: Mark Carney.

Trump’s enforcer, MAGA translator: How JD Vance is growing his power as vice president
The public portion of President Donald Trump’s meeting with Volodymyr Zelenskyy was nearly over when the Ukrainian leader posed a question to America's second-in-command. The vice president took offense and went on the attack. Pointing his finger at Zelenskyy and waving his hands, Vance accused Trump's guest of being "disrespectful." "You should be thanking the president for trying to bring an end to this conflict," Vance said, leaning in. Zelenskyy sat, arms crossed, and engaged Vance as Trump listened and eventually piled on. Gone were the days of vice presidents silently nodding on during diplomatic stagecraft. From whipping votes for Trump's troubled nominees in Congress to slamming liberal governance in Europe, Vance has seized an early role for himself as Trump's enforcer in the U.S. and abroad. The standoff in the Oval Office put Vance at the center of a sea change in American foreign policy and signaled how the 40-year-old vice president, who served a partial U.S. Senate term before his election to the White House, has stealthily amassed political power. More: Trump tells Zelenskyy to leave after Oval Office clash, mineral deal not signed Trump is not known for sharing the spotlight, but close allies and advisers say Vance has his trust and he’s been pleased with the probable 2028 presidential candidate’s performance so far. With Trump term-limited from running again, Vance could be the one defending the Make America Great Again legacy in the next presidential election. In the Zelenskyy meeting, Trump had a split second decision to make, Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, a staunch Vance backer, said: Does he disagree with Vance and try to diffuse the conflict? “He doubled down and had JD’s back,” Kirk noted. He said the moment demonstrated Trump has “a lot of respect” for Vance. More: JD Vance is now the MAGA heir-apparent. Does that make him the front-runner for 2028? Trump showed his trust by dispatching Vance on a pair of high-profile missions when his new administration was just getting started. The president sent Vance to the southern border Wednesday, immediately after Trump's joint address to Congress, to push the administration's hardline immigration message. Vance also delivered a fiery rebuke to European leaders at the Munich Security Conference last month. Premeditated, methodical and selective in his approach, Vance's style is complementary to the president’s, advisers to both men said. Less than two months into the new administration, Vance already has found multiple ways to turn a position that President John Adams once described as “the most insignificant office that ever the invention of man contrived” into a platform for bombshell moments. “JD views his role as whatever helps the president, helps the administration the most at a given time, and sometimes that requires working behind the scenes,” a longtime Vance adviser who was not authorized to speak publicly said. “And then, sometimes, it requires him to peacock.” Former US President and 2024 Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, Former US First Lady Melania Trump and US Senator from Ohio and 2024 Republican vice presidential candidate J.D.

Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, said. The fallout continued during a vacation the vice president took to Vermont last weekend that drew hundreds of protesters and led Vance to move his family to a different hotel for "more privacy." A British politician scorned Vance this week after he suggested in an interview that the UK was a random country. Still, Vance's strident defense of Trump's policies are helping him make inroads with MAGA – even if activists aren't ready to crown him their heir just yet. More: The first millennial was sworn into the White House. What happened to Gen X? Unlike the odd couple pairing of Trump and former Vice President Mike Pence, who was added to the 2016 ticket to reach Evangelicals and traditional conservatives but was Trump's temperamental opposite, the Trump-Vance match is a MAGA mind meld. Trump eventually broke with Pence amid the fallout from the 2020 election, and activists are waiting to see how Vance performs. It's too early to judge his performance yet, they say, but the vice president's early impression could linger into 2028. Vance was on his first overseas trip as vice president, and America’s allies were distraught. It’s not Russia or China that poses the greatest threat to Europe, Vance said in accusing European leaders of restricting democracy and free speech. “What I worry about is the threat from within." Afterward Christoph Heusgen, Germany's former ambassador to the United Nations and the retiring chair of the Munich Security conference said, “We have to fear that our common value base is not that common anymore.” Michael McFaul, who was U.S. ambassador to Russia under former President Barack Obama, said Vance gave a “big lecture to all the Europeans about all their problems with democracy,” and chose not to chastise dictatorships in Belarus and Russia.

What will happen at my school if Trump closes the Department of Education?
What will happen at my school if Trump closes the Department of Education? Schools and students wouldn't immediately be impacted by an executive order targeting the agency. But they may already be feeling the effects of staff departures, turnover and new policies. WASHINGTON – As President Donald Trump continues his campaign to gut federal agencies, one of his favorite targets has been the U.S. Department of Education, which he has vowed to close. Education Secretary Linda McMahon confirmed on Fox News Friday that Trump “clearly intends” to sign an order targeting her department. "He couldn't be any more clear when he says he wants me to put myself out of a job," she said. As talk of imminent change brews, millions of students, parents, teachers, administrators and support staff may be wondering what exactly the U.S. Department of Education does – and doesn't – do, and how looming cuts to the agency could impact daily life on their campuses. They may also be asking whether such cuts are even lawful. For starters, the department doesn’t decide what kids learn. It has no control over school curricula. And it’s not forcing teachers to teach anything. Sending education “back to the states,” which President Donald Trump has repeatedly called for, is a bit like mandating the sun go back to the sky. It’s already there. The federal government does, of course, have some broad authority over what goes on in the classroom environment. No educational program that receives federal funding – which includes K-12 schools, all public and some private; and colleges, all public and many private – can allow discrimination against students. The Education Department is legally required to ensure that students and teachers with disabilities are treated fairly and that low-income schools get the resources they need to keep pace with more affluent ones. The agency also issues regulations for colleges to hold them accountable for preparing graduates for well-paying jobs. Because the department was created by Congress, Trump cannot close it on his own. McMahon, the new education secretary, acknowledged that at her confirmation hearing. More: Trump's education secretary nominee once said she had an education degree. She doesn't. She said she “understands” the need to work with Congress to downsize the agency and create a “better-functioning Department of Education.”
