Canada’s political candidates are wrapping up a turbulent first week of the federal election campaign. With one month to go, Mark Carney's liberals are gaining momentum with some polls suggesting a possible majority. But growing economic threats from the U.S., including new tariffs set to take effect in the coming week, are shifting the focus of all parties.

Prime Minister Mark Carney has his first official phone call with U.S. President Donald Trump, and it was a critical one, as the trade war rages on.

Canada’s 45th general election is officially underway. In five weeks voters will head to the polls to decide who will be the next prime minister. Liberal Leader Mark Carney is calling for a “strong, positive mandate” to take on U.S. President Donald Trump. Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says a Tory government will be “respectful and firm” when standing up to Trump.
