Mississauga: Canadian leaders campaigned in the Battleground districts on Saturday, two days before an electrified vote by the threats of the president of the United States, Donald Trump, with Prime Minister Mark Carney favored after assuring the voters who can face Washington.
A victory for the Liberal Car Paney would mark one of the most dramatic changes in Canadian political history.
On January 6, on the day, former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced his plans to resign, his liberals followed the conservatives for more than 20 points in most surveys, and the leader of Tory Pierre Poilievre seemed safe to be the next Prime Minister of Canada.
But in later weeks, Trump launched a flood of rigid tariff policies while talking repeatedly to absorb Canada in the United States.
Since then, the indignant Canadians have booed the American anthem in sporting events and canceled the travel plans of the United States.
When Carney replaced the unpopular Trudeau on March 14, she anchored her message directly about Trump’s threats.
The 60 -year -old, who never held an elected office, but led the central banks of Canada and Great Britain, has argued that his global financial experience makes him the ideal candidate to defend Canada against Trump’s commercial political volatile.
The prime minister spent the second day of the campaign in the crucial province of Ontario, making stops in communities near Toronto that have previously turned between liberal and conservative.
“President Trump’s commercial war has literally broken the global economy and betrayed Canada,” Carney told a demonstration in Missssauga, a city west of Toronto.
“The Canadians overcome the shock of that betrayal, but we must never forget the lessons,” he added, before directing his attacks on Pailievre, whom he argues lacks experience and economic insight to lead during a commercial war.
“We don’t need chaos, we need calm. We don’t need to go, we need an adult,” said Carney.
It will close the day with a demonstration in Windsor: the center of a Canadian automotive industry hit Trump’s rates a lot.
Frantic campaign
The Trump factor and the exchange of Trudeau for Carney Pailievre, a 45 -year -old man who has been in Parliament for two decades.
But the conservative leader has tried to maintain attention to the problems that led anger to the liberals during the decade of Trudeau in power, particularly the increase in life costs.
I was campaigning on the province of the West Coast of British Columbia on Saturday before a night demonstration in Ontario.
“You can’t handle another four years of this,” British Columbia told Delta, reaffirming his message that Carney would bring a continuation of the Trudeau era.
“For the single mother whose refrigerator, stomach and bank account are empty and does not know how she will feed her children tomorrow, have hope that the change is on the way,” he said.
Pailievre has also criticized Trump, but blamed a poor economic performance under liberals for leaving Canada vulnerable to US protectionism.
Tightening career?
The surveys project a liberal government, but the race has hardened in its last days.
The survey aggregator of the CBC public broadcaster has at several points given to the liberals a national advantage of seven to eight points, but on Saturday he put liberal support in 42.5 percent, with the conservatives in 38.7.
A crucial factor that could help liberals are the fallen numbers for the new leftist democrats and the Quebecois separatist block.
In the past elections, the strongest support for these parties has stopped the holders of liberal seats in the key provinces of British, Ontario and Quebec Columbia.
A record of 7.3 million 28.9 million eligible voters from Canada cast early votes during the Easter weekend, an increase of 25 percent compared to 2021.
‘A strange campaign’
For McGill Daniel Beland University, conservative efforts to “change the topic of the Trump campaign have greatly failed.
Tim Powers, a political analyst, agreed that the “strange campaign” full of surprises is not what conservatives wanted.
They hoped that “there would be more debate about the affordability and all the things they were scoring,” he said, adding that Pailievre “imagined a campaign in which Justin Trudeau would be his opponent.”
The winner must be known hours after the surveys are closed on Monday.
