The Canadian political landscape shifted dramatically as Pierre Poilievre, who seemed poised for victory, faced a resurgence from the Liberal Party under Mark Carney amidst external pressures, particularly from Donald Trump's presidency. Carney, a seasoned banker, appealed to voters seeking experience and stability. As the election approached, Poilievre's lead in polls shrank significantly, indicating a potential victory for Carney and the Liberal Party instead of the anticipated Conservative win, highlighting how international events and leadership changes can influence local elections.
"Mark Carney emerged at a moment where I think more and more Canadians were looking for somebody with his experience, with his demeanor, with his approach to politics. That was very much of the moment."
"At the start of the year, it was almost certain that Pierre Poilievre, the leader of the Conservative Party of Canada, would be the next Canadian Prime Minister."
