With less than two weeks until election day, the Liberal Party, led by newcomer Mark Carney, has made
a stunning comeback.
After trailing by 24 points in January, the Liberals now hold a 5-point lead over the Conservatives.
Carney’s reputation as a steady economic leader during past crises is winning over voters, and polls suggest the
Liberals could secure a majority.
But with the race tightening, nothing is guaranteed.
Donald Trump’s return to the White House has shaken Canadian politics.
His aggressive tariffs and even talk of making Canada the '51st state' have pushed international issues to the
forefront.
Many Canadians now see defending national sovereignty as the top election issue, shifting support to Carney’s Liberals.
As one Montreal resident put it, 'I feel stronger as a Canadian.' Beyond economics, many Canadians are demanding
their leaders take a stand on global justice.
Protests have erupted, calling for a two-way arms embargo on Israel and stronger support for the International Criminal
Court’s arrest warrants.
With Arab and Muslim voters poised to influence dozens of key ridings, leaders can’t ignore these voices.
Over half of Canadians now support a ban on weapons exports to Israel.
Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives once looked unstoppable, but have lost ground as voters focus on international threats and unity.
Poilievre’s campaign, echoing some Trump-style tactics, hasn’t resonated as expected.
With Quebec’s support shifting to the Liberals, the Conservatives face an uphill battle to win back Canadians before
the polls close.
With the election just days away, Canadians are energized and divided on key issues—from economic security to human
rights.
The outcome could reshape Canada’s future at home and abroad.
Stay tuned for the results and what they mean for Canadians everywhere.
