Canadians are voting in a pivotal snap election, called by Prime Minister Mark Carney, amidst a backdrop of tension with the U.S. due to President Trump’s trade war and threats to annex Canada. This has mobilized Canadian voters and revitalized the Liberal Party, which, under Carney's new leadership, has seen a rise in support according to recent polls. The divvying of seats in Parliament indicates a competitive election with the Liberals positioned to gain the most seats, despite previous Conservative leads before Justin Trudeau's resignation.
"The contest has been completely transformed by U.S. President Donald Trump, who has launched a trade war on arguably his nation's closest ally, and threatened to annex Canada and make it the 51st state."
"The Conservative Party, led by the populist Pierre Polievre, had been ahead of the Liberals by 25 points before Justin Trudeau resigned in January and Carney replaced him as leader."
