In Canada’s federal elections, the competition between Liberal leader Mark Carney and Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre is neck and neck. Recent polls suggest a slight edge for the Liberals, largely due to Carney’s surge following Justin Trudeau’s departure. Carney’s strong background in economics sets him apart from Poilievre’s focus on change. The Liberals are currently ahead in crucial areas, while the Conservatives hold sway in the Prairies. The outcome of this closely watched race will have significant implications for Canada’s political landscape.
