Canada Votes: High-Stakes Election Could Reshape Nation’s Leadership

Canadians are casting their ballots in a pivotal election to choose a new prime minister and parliament, following the recent resignation of Justin Trudeau and the rise of Mark Carney as Liberal leader.

Early polls have closed in Newfoundland and Labrador, with the rest of the country following throughout the day. The Liberals are leading in pre-election polls, closely followed by the Conservatives, while the New Democratic Party and Bloc Quebecois trail behind. This election is seen as one of the most consequential in a generation, with the outcome likely to impact Canada’s political direction for years to come.

Voters and analysts are watching closely as results begin to roll in from coast to coast.
