Overview

• Canadians will vote on April 28 to elect 343 parliamentary members, with 172 seats needed for a majority government.
• Mark Carney's Liberals lead the Conservatives 42.5% to 38.7% in polls, reversing earlier deficits after Trump's tariffs and annexation rhetoric galvanized national support.
• Over 7.3 million Canadians have already cast early ballots, marking a record turnout ahead of election day.
• Pierre Poilievre's Conservative campaign has focused on inflation and housing but struggled to shift attention from U.S.-Canada tensions.
• If no party secures a majority, smaller parties like the NDP or Bloc Québécois could play a decisive role in forming Canada's next government.
