Carney favored to win as Canadians turn against Trump policies

Mississauga: Canadian leaders fought in battle areas on Saturday, two days before the electrical vote by US President Donald Trump’s threats, with Prime Minister Mark Carney favoring voters that he could afford to withstand.

A victory for Carney’s liberal party would mark one of the most dramatic upheavals in Canadian political history.

On January 6, former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced his plans to resign, his liberals brought the conservatives with more than 20 points to most polls, and Tory Pierre Poilievre seemed certain to be the next prime minister.

But in the coming weeks, Trump put a barrier from harsh pricing policies, and we are repeatedly talking about Canada’s absorption in the United States.

The outraged Canadians have since given the American anthem to sporting events and canceled US travel plans.

When Carney replaced the non -popular Trudeau on March 14, he anchored his message exactly on Trump’s threats.

The 60 -year -old, who never had elected office but led the central banks of Canada and Britain, argued that his global economic experience makes him the ideal candidate to defend Canada against Trump’s volatile trade policies.

The prime minister passed the second campaign on the last day in the critical province of Ontario, stopping communities near Toronto who have previously moved between liberal and conservatives.

“President Trump’s trade war has literally broke the world economy and has betrayed Canada,” Carney told a Rally in Mississauga, a city west of Toronto.

“The Canadians are above the shock of this betrayal, but we must never forget the lessons,” he added, before directing his attacks on Poilievre, who claims to lack experience and economic diffusion to lead during a trade war.

“We don’t need chaos, we need calm. We don’t need anger, we need an adult,” Carney said.

It will close the day with a rally in Windsor – the junction of a Canadian automaker hit hard by Trump’s invoices.

Campaign

Trump and Trudeau-For-Carney are exchanged upset Poilievre, a 45-year-old man in parliament for two decades.

But the conservative leader attempted to keep attention to issues that led to anger towards the liberals during the trudeau decade, particularly increasing living costs.

A campaign in the province of British Colombia on the west coast on Saturday a night in Ontario.

“You can’t handle another four years of it,” he told Delta’s supporters in British Columbia, confirming his message that Carney would continue in the trudeau era.

“For the single mother whose refrigerator, stomach and bank account are all empty and does not know how to feed her children tomorrow, change of hope is on the way,” he said.

Poilievre also criticized Trump, but accused bad financial performance under the liberals of leaving Canada vulnerable to American protectionism.

Tightening race?

The polls are promoting a liberal government, but the struggle has tightened in its last days.

The CBC poll public broadcasting in various ways, given the liberals a national lead seven to eight points, but on Saturday raised a liberal support at 42.5 %, with the Tories at 38.7.

A critical factor that could help liberals is the relaxed numbers for the left -wing New Democrats and the separate Quebecois block.

In previous elections, the strongest support for these parties has destroyed liberal seats in the main provinces of British Colombia, Ontario and Quebec.

A record of 7.3 million out of Canada’s 28.9 million voters put early votes during Easter weekend, a 25 % increase compared to 2021.

‘A strange campaign’

For the political scientist at the University of McGill Daniel Beland, conservative efforts to “change the issue of the campaign” far from Trump have failed to a great extent.

Tim Powers, a political analyst, agreed that the “strange campaign” full of surprises is not what the Tories wanted.

They hoped “there would be more discussion on financial access and all the things that scored points,” he said, adding Poilievre “envisioned a campaign where Justin Trudeau would be his opponent.”

The winner should be known hours after the polls to close on Monday.
