Canada Votes in Pivotal Snap Elections, with Liberal Mark Carney Expected to Remain in Power
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Canadian voters today will decide between the ruling Liberal Party, now
led by Justin Trudeau's successor, Prime Minister Mark Carney, and
Pierre Poilievre, who leads the Conservatives. Poilievre had been
leading in the polls when Trudeau stepped down in January, but Carney's
defiant response to Trump's tariffs and his threats to annex Canada have
helped propel the Liberals' chances of staying in power.
