Description: Canada’s early election polls gave Liberal party leader and Prime Minister Mark Carney considerable lead ahead of Pierre Poilievre’s Conservative Party. Carney’s political campaign solely rested on his previous experience as head of central banks in Canada and Britain, which he promoted in his campaign events across the country in an attempt to attrach larger voting groups. He was also strongly endorsed by previous Liberal Party leader and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau which made him even more credible choice for Canadian voters. Conservative leader, Pierre Poilievre, hasn’t represented a strong strategy countering existential issues such as the US tariffs which points to a fragile political campaign going forward. Canadian federal elections are multi – party struggles with the New Democratic Party and the Quebec separatist Bloc Quebecois consistently playing crucial roles in forming new governments.
Impact: Early polling results coupled with Carney’s strict stance towards US economic warfare and aggression, position him as the winning candidate in the upcoming election. The Conservative party camp signals weak campaigning probably aware they have no real opportunity in snatching the government from the Liberal grasp. Carney has so far condemned the US foreign policies as hostile and his previous experience in large financial institutions make him economically savvy in face of growing threats from once fond US ally. He has also signaled building closer relations with the EU bloc of countries and hasn’t in any uncertain terms discarded possible trade partnerships with China.
