In a pivotal moment, Canadians vote to choose their next leader, as Prime Minister Mark Carney faces off against Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre in a backdrop of U.S. trade disputes and changing political dynamics.
With polls showing a neck-and-neck race, the outcome could redefine Canada’s political landscape. While the Liberal Party had been expected to lead comfortably, recent developments have shifted the dynamics completely. Under Carney's leadership, the Liberals have seen a resurgence, positioning themselves as the party to best address President Trump's tariff threats and potential annexation remarks. Contrarily, Poilievre's campaign has struggled with comparisons to Trump himself, impacting his electoral prospects.
