Party leaders have packed itineraries today as election day nears
Voters in Canada are selecting 343 members of Parliament today, with a majority of 172 seats required.
Key contenders include Mark Carney of the Liberal Party and Pierre Poilievre of the Conservative Party, competing amidst public calls for defending Canadian sovereignty.
Rising nationalistic sentiment has framed this election as a referendum on Canada's economic independence from U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs and rhetoric.
Voter priorities include inflation, rising living costs, housing affordability, and climate action.
