Canadians are voting in a pivotal election to decide their government leadership, primarily between the current Liberal Party led by Prime Minister Mark Carney and the opposition Conservatives led by Pierre Poilievre. The election is colored by external pressures such as President Trump’s tariffs impacting Canadian exports. Many citizens view this election as a referendum on leadership in managing relations with Trump and handling domestic economic issues, especially inflation. The voting system employs a first-past-the-post method, with a total of 343 representatives to be elected to address these pressing challenges.
All Canadian citizens, including prisoners and people who live outside the country, are eligible to vote with one exception.
Many Canadians view the vote as a referendum on who can best handle Mr. Trump, while also coming up with a plan to lessen the harm from economic turmoil.
Polls show that many Canadians consider Mr. Carney better suited to take on Mr. Trump, helping the Liberal Party erase a double-digit lead.
Inflation, particularly high groceries and soaring house prices, were issues that Mr. Poilievre used to rise to what seemed a certain election victory.
