Carney Boosts Liberals as Canadian Federal Campaign Begins

On March 24, Liberal Leader Mark Carney gestured as he walked across the tarmac at Gander International Airport in Gander, Nfld, on day two of his Liberal Party election campaign tour.
Following Justin Trudeau's departure announcement and Mark Carney's selection as Liberal Party leader, a new Research Co. Poll indicated a significant increase in support for the governing Liberal Party.
The poll showed Liberal support up 20 points to 41% since early January, while Conservative support, led by Pierre Poilievre, is down 10 points to 37%, and NDP support, led by Jagmeet Singh, is down 6 points to 9%.
An Abacus poll showed more Canadians think of Mr. Carney as 'smart' and a 'strong leader' compared to Mr. Poilievre, while an Ipsos poll indicated that 43% of Canadians believe Mr. Poilievre would 'roll over and accept' Mr. Trump's demands, compared to 22% for Mr. Carney.
With the Liberals narrowing policy differences and focusing on competing impressions, the election may become a vote on who Canadians feel is better suited to represent Canada's interests, especially regarding Canada-U.S. Relations, which is the most important issue for voters, outpacing jobs and health care.
