As Poilievre and his wife cast their ballots in Ottawa, he urged voters to get out and vote for change. Despite running a Trump-lite campaign for weeks, the Conservative leader’s similarities to the American might have cost him.
Toronto resident Reid Warren said he voted Liberal because Poilievre sounds like a mini-Trump to him. He also worries about Trump’s tariffs.
Canadians coming together from all shades of the political spectrum is great, but it has created some turmoil, Warren said.
Historian Robert Bothwell said Poilievre appealed to the same sense of grievance as Trump, but it ultimately worked against him. Bothwell said the Liberals should pay Poilievre, referring to the US president. Trump’s talk is not good for the Conservatives.
Carney and the Liberals secured a new term, but they have daunting challenges ahead. If they don’t win a majority in Parliament, the Liberals might need to rely on one of the smaller parties to remain in power and pass legislation. The Bloc Quebecois, which looked set to finish third, is a separatist party from French-speaking Quebec that seeks independence from Canada.
Trudeaus Liberals relied on the New Democrats to remain in power for four years, but the progressive party faired poorly on Monday and its leader, Jagmeet Singh, said he was stepping down after eight years in charge.
