With just days to go before Canada’s April 28 election, the race between the Liberals and Conservatives is
neck and neck.
Betting odds now give both parties a 55.6% chance of winning.
Liberal leader and Prime Minister Mark Carney has surged in popularity after replacing Justin Trudeau, while Conservative leader
Pierre Poilievre is still a strong contender.
President Trump’s 25% tariffs on Canadian goods, including cars and steel, have ignited outrage across Canada.
Carney declared the old U.S.-Canada relationship 'over' and promised retaliatory tariffs with 'maximum impact.' Trump’s annexation comments have
only added fuel to the fire.
Carney is pitching a $2 billion plan to support Canada’s auto industry and build economic independence.
Poilievre promises to make Canada 'self-reliant' and less dependent on the U.S., vowing to build pipelines and boost
resource exports.
Both leaders are using Trump’s actions to rally support.
From booing the U.S.
anthem at hockey games to viral memes and protests, Canadians are uniting in defiance.
The slogan 'Elbows Up' has become a rallying cry.
Prime Minister Carney said, 'We will not let Trump break us.' Ironically, Trump’s tariffs may hurt U.S.
cities the most—especially in states that voted for him.
Cities like Detroit, San Antonio, and Pittsburgh rely heavily on trade with Canada.
Experts warn of job losses and economic fallout on both sides of the border.
This election could reshape Canada’s future and its relationship with the U.S.
