After nearly 10 years of Liberal rule in Canada, a deepening cost of living crisis had soured public support for Justin Trudeau and pollsters predicted the Conservative party, led by Pierre Poilievre, would seize a convincing majority of seat. But since Donald Trump suggested the US might take over Canada – with threats ranging from “economic coercion” to outright annexation – the mood has shifted, and Canada has seen a groundswell of visceral patriotism. One poll, from Ipsos, found that the Conservatives had shed roughly 12 points of support within two weeks, and another found that 40% of Canadians felt Mark Carney – a Liberal and the former governor of the Bank of England – was best suited to face off against Trump, with only 26% saying Poilievre.
What are analysts saying now? “Now the election isn’t going to be about Trudeau,” said Éric Grenier, a political analyst at the Writ. “It will most likely be about the next four years – and who is best able to deal with Trump.”
