Canada's Liberals Poised to Win Fourth Straight Term Amid Trump-Fueled Election Upset
The Canadian Liberal Party is on track to win its fourth consecutive term in office, boosted by President Trump's threats against Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre. The outcome marked a dramatic reversal of fortunes for the Liberals and Conservatives in the lead-up to the election.
In a dramatic reversal, the governing Liberals, who were trailing the official opposition Conservatives in the polls earlier this year, appear poised to win their fourth consecutive term in office after US President Donald Trump's recent threats boosted support for Justin Trudeau and hurt Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre. The reversal came as Canadians prepared to vote for their new prime minister. The Liberals had been expected to lose power, but a sudden surge in popularity has shifted the balance of power. Trudeau is now leading Poilievre by a narrow margin.
