Canadians living in the UK are rallying around the upcoming elections, feeling a deep sense of unity and urgency. Ex-pats like Sarah Helppi express strong emotions about external threats, particularly from Donald Trump, and emphasize the need for effective leadership in Canada, especially favoring Mark Carney for his economic vision. Others, like Nathalie Cook, feel compelled to vote tactically against perceived harm, aligning their votes with strategic considerations rather than their usual party preferences. These sentiments highlight a pivotal moment in Canadian politics that resonates deeply among its citizens abroad.
I feel united with the Canadian people in trying to find their way out of this, she says. We want someone to make the hard decisions about how to re-engineer the economy away from the US.
It definitely feels like the most important election I've ever voted in. Cook typically votes for the more left-leaning New Democratic party (NDP), but has this time voted tactically for the Liberals because she saw the threats of Poilievre as too great.
