MISSISSAGA: Canadian leaders fought in battlefield districts on Saturday, two days before a vote electrified by US President Donald Trump’s threats, with Prime Minister Mark Carney favored after assuring voters that he could stand up to Washington.

A victory for Carney’s Liberal Party would mark one of the most dramatic twists in Canadian political history.

On January 6, the day announced by former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced his plans to resign, his liberals drew the Conservatives with more than 20 points in most polls, and the Tory leader Pierre Poolievre seemed to be Canada’s next Premier.

But in the weeks following this, Trump rolled a barrier of stiff customs policies while repeatedly talking about absorbing Canada into the United States.

Owky Canadians have since booed the American anthem at sporting events and canceled US travel plans.

When Carney replaced the unpopular Trudeau on March 14, he anchored his message square on the threats of Trump.

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

The prime minister spent the second day of the campaign in the decisive province of Ontario, which stopped in communities near Toronto, which has previously swing between liberal and conservative.

“President Trump’s trade war has literally broken the global economy and he has betrayed Canada,” Carney told a rally in Mississauga, a city just west of Toronto.

“Canadians are over the shock of this betrayal, but we should never forget the lessons,” he added, before instructing his attacks against Poolievre, which he claims lacks experience and financial sharpness 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.

He closes the day with a demonstration in the Windsor Navet in a Canadian automotive industry hit hard by Trump’s duty.

Frenetic campaign

The Trump Factor and Trudeau-For-Carney shift disagrees poilievre, a 45-year-old who has been in parliament for two decades.

But the Conservative leader has tried to keep attention to questions that ran anger to the Left in Trudeau’s decade in power, especially rising costs.

He campaign in West Coast Province in British Columbia on Saturday before an evening rally in Ontario.

“You can’t handle another four years of this,” he said supporters in Delta, British Columbia, and confirmed his message that Carney would bring a continuation of the Trudeau era.

“To the single mother, whose fridge, stomach and bank account are all empty and don’t know how to feed her children tomorrow, Hope Change is on the way,” he said.

Poolievre has also criticized Trump, but accused the poor economic performance of the Left of having left Canada vulnerable to American protectionism.

Tightening of running?

Voting projects a liberal government, but the race has been tightened in the last days.

The public television station CBC’s vote Aggregator has a seven-to-point national lead in various points, but on Saturday the liberal support of 42.5 percent, with Tories of 38.7.

A decisive factor that can help the Left are the hanging figures for the leftist new Democrats and separatist block Quebecois.

In previous elections, stronger support for these parties has slowed liberal seat -tallies in the main provinces of British Columbia, Ontario and Quebec.

A record 7.3 million of Canada’s 28.9 million qualified voters threw early ballots during the Easter saint, a 25 percent increase compared to 2021.

‘A strange campaign’

For McGill University state scientist Daniel Bande is the conservative efforts to “change the topic of the campaign” away from Trump largely failed.

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

They had hoped “There would be more of a debate about affordable awards and all the things they scored points on,” he said, adding Poilievre “imagined a campaign in which Justin Trudeau would be his opponent.”

The winner must be known hours after polls close to Monday.
