Trump Looms Over Canada's Election
Briefly

Canadians went to the polls in a crucial election anticipated to shape the country's future leadership amid high costs, unemployment, and social issues. With the Liberal Party, led by Prime Minister Mark Carney, holding a slight edge over the Conservatives and Pierre Poilievre, the political landscape shifted dramatically following President Trump's tariffs threatening Canada's economy. Carney emerged as a potential defender against Trump's policies, changing voter sentiment, which could indicate Trump's impact on international politics. Results are awaited with significant interest in how they will reflect these dynamics.
Many Canadians blamed a decade of Liberal rule under former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, and Conservatives led by 25 points in the polls.
If the Liberals win, that will indicate that Trump is a potent factor in the politics of America's allies.
