TORONTO: All preparations for Canada federal parliamentary elections are complete and candidates’ election campaigns are in final stages. In the elections to be held on April 28, the Canadian voters will decide whether the Liberal Party or Conservative Party will form the new government in America’s neighbouring country.

What will be the role of Amit Singh-led NDP, and how many seats does the most effective party in the province of Quebec win in the elections?

The Canadian elections are dominated by US President Trump’s tariff policy and his statements about Canada. The leaders of Canada’s political parties and two major candidates for next prime minister, Liberal Party leader Mark Carney and Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre, are expressing their reactions to President Trump’s tariff policy and his remarks about Canada.

Mark Carney, Liberal Party candidate for prime minister, again criticised President Trump openly in his latest statement, saying Trump wants to divide Canada, adding all his tariffs are wrong and unjust. Mark Carney said he is fighting this election war in the interest of Canada. “We have to unite and confront this situation”, he said.

According to Canadian election observers, President Trump’s statement about imposing tariffs on Canada and making Canada 51st state of United States have increased the popularity of Liberal Party of Canada once again.

The leadership and electoral politics of new party leader Mark Carney, who replaced Justin Trudeau, have raised the public popularity graph very high. Mark Carney is a financial expert and has been the head of Federal Reserve Bank of Canada and the Bank of England.

Canada’s semi-socialist party, the NDP, has been facing criticism and further decline in public popularity due to its performance while supporting Liberal Party government in recent years.

Former Canadian Prime Minister Curtin has thanked Trump for his anti-Canadian tariffs and statements, saying Trump’s statements have once again united and awakened the Canadian people. In the Canadian elections, Trump’s statements, support for economy, Canadian identity and unity are the most important factors in the opinion of voters, which will affect the election results.

India’s terrorism in Canada and interference in its electoral politics in Canada is well known, but this is not being talked about in public.
