Canadians go to the polls in an election dominated by worries with Trump

Canadian voters are going to the polls on Monday, after an election campaign where US President Donald Trump's fares, and his lines on Canada's annexation have become the central issue.

To the Trump's threats caused a wave of patriotism that increased support for the Prime Minister, Mark Carney, a newcomer to politics that has already directed two G7 central banks.

The campaign ended with a dark tone on Sunday, after a man directed a SUV against a crowd at a Filipine Community festival in Vancouver, killing at least 11 people and hurting dozens.

Carney took a brief break in her campaign, and both conservative leader Pierre Poilievre mentioned the tragedy in their latest campaign events.

It is unclear if the event will have any impact on the election.

Carry's liberal party has maintained a four percentage advantage over Poilievre's conservative party in separated research from Ipsos and Angus Reid, suggesting little movement in recent days. On Sunday, Ipsos estimated liberals with 42% support and conservatives with 38%.

THE Angus Reid Saturday survey put the liberals with 44% support, against 40% of conservatives.

These results would probably produce a fourth consecutive liberal mandate, but Carney could gain only a minority of seats in the 343-seat common chamber, leaving him dependent on smaller parties to govern.

Trump resurfaced as a campaign factor last week, stating that he could increase the 25% rate on Canada -made cars because the US doesn't want them. He said earlier that he could use “economic strength” to make Canada the 51st state of the US.

Carney has emphasized that her experience in dealing with economic issues makes him the best leader to deal with Trump, while Poilievre has addressed concerns about the cost of living, crime and real estate crisis.

“I will probably choose Carry, because at this moment I feel we need stability,” said Andy Hill, 37, Vancouver's mortgage broker. “Because it belonged to the English banking system and the Canadian banking system, it really understands the economy.”

Bob Lowe, a 66 -year -old rancher who lives south of Calgary, said he has already voted for conservatives. He said his main concern is Canada's weak economic growth.

The economy was in an incipient recovery until the US imposed tariffs.

Carney has sought to distance herself from former Liberal Breeding Justin Trudeau, who was deeply unpopular when she said in January she would resign after almost a decade in power. At that time, the conservatives led the surveys for about 20 points.

A party needs to gain 172 seats to form a majority government that does not depend on the support of smaller parties to stay in power.

The results will be released from the provinces of the East, after the closing of the ballot boxes at alternate times tonight. The banknotes are counted manually.
