Canadians are voting in elections to choose between the Liberal Party, led by Mark Carney, and the Conservative Party, led by Pierre Poilievre. The elections are dominated by concerns about the economy, which some voters blame on the Liberal Party's decade-long leadership. The economic issues are compounded by President Trump's tariff threats and his politically charged remarks about annexing Canada. This atmosphere motivates voters to choose either party based on how they believe Canada should respond to U.S. pressures, with many regarding Carney's experience as a stabilizing factor.
Canadians are thinking about the economy, and about Trump. The two are, to a great degree, intertwined: Canada's economy is in a relatively weak spot as it's getting hit by tariffs.
Some voters want to punish the Liberal Party which has been in charge for the past decade and hold it accountable for leaving the country in a weakened spot.
Other voters and polls suggest they may be the majority are predominantly worried about how Canada stands up to the U.S., relating to tariffs but extending to political and existential concerns.
Mark Carney is a seasoned international economic policymaker and private-sector executive, and his experience in economic turmoil has led many Canadians to believe he's the right person to trust in this crisis.
