What's coming up next in Canadian politics? Here are five key stories to watch in 2026
CUSMA review, opposition leadership reviews, and floor-crossing drama headline 2026's political agenda
Canadian politics in 2026 will be dominated by the mandatory review of the Canada-U.S.-Mexico-Agreement (CUSMA), which begins in January with formal U.S. trade discussions. Prime Minister Mark Carney's Liberal government, holding 170 seats after two floor-crossers from the Conservatives, needs just one more MP for a majority. Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre faces a mandatory leadership review in Calgary at the end of January following his 2025 election loss, while the NDP prepares to elect a new leader in March after being reduced to seven seats. Key legislation including border security bills C-2 and C-12, tax cuts in Bill C-4, and criminal code changes in Bill C-14 remain pending in Parliament. The year will also see ongoing floor-crossing activity and strategic positioning ahead of the next federal election.
