A victory for Carney’s Liberal Party would mark one of the most dramatic turnarounds in Canadian political history.
Over the following weeks, Trump chaotically rolled out his trade war while repeatedly talking about absorbing Canada into the United States.
When Carney replaced the unpopular Trudeau on March 14, he anchored his message squarely on the Trump threat, claiming the US “wants to break us, so they can own us.”
“Pierre Poilievre has no plan to stand up to President Trump,“ Carney said Friday.
Trump’s impact and the Trudeau-for-Carney swap unsettled Poilievre, a 45-year-old who has been in parliament for two decades.
“The trajectory we are on after this lost Liberal decade, were it to continue, would lead to more despair,“ he said Thursday.
Analysts say his political style, notably his fondness for bombastic partisan attacks, has also hurt him with voters who may have been inclined to vote Tory, including women.
Polls project a Liberal government, but the race has tightened in its final days.
A crucial factor that could help the Liberals is the sagging numbers for the left-wing New Democrats and the Quebec separatist Bloc Quebecois.
A record 7.3 million of Canada’s 28.9 million eligible voters cast advanced ballots over the Easter weekend, a 25 percent increase compared to advanced voting in 2021.
“I think everyone is concerned,“ she said, voicing hope “a strong government” is in place after Monday.
The 49-year-old entrepreneur said he believes “the Conservatives traditionally do much better” in managing the economy.
For McGill University political scientist Daniel Beland, Conservative efforts to “change the subject of the campaign” away from Trump have largely failed.
They had hoped “there’d be more of a debate around affordability and all of the things that they were scoring points on,“ he said, adding Poilievre “envisioned a campaign where Justin Trudeau would be his opponent.”
The winner should be known hours after polls close on Monday.
