Canadians vote on April 28 to elect a new prime minister. The key contenders are Mark Carney (Liberal) focusing on economic reform and government action, and Pierre Poilievre (Conservative) pushing for deregulation and tougher crime policies.

Canadians will vote for a new government in an election that has been upended by U.S. President Donald Trump’s trade war and threats to make Canada the 51st state

By questioning Canada’s sovereignty, President Trump changed the focus of the race from the failings of the Liberal government to himself.
