On April 28, 2025, Canadians head to the polls in a pivotal federal election dominated by concerns over national sovereignty, economic stability, and the influence of U.S. President Donald Trump. The election sees Liberal leader and Prime Minister Mark Carney, a former central banker, facing off against Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre, known for his populist approach. Carney has positioned himself as a steady hand capable of managing economic challenges and resisting U.S. pressures, while Poilievre focuses on cost-of-living issues and critiques of the current government’s policies. The outcome of this closely contested election will shape Canada’s domestic and foreign policy directions in the years to come.
