Canada, election elections in April 28

Matteo Francdor – Vatikan Ciodad

On Monday, April 28, Canada was summoned to the polls to renew 343 seats in the House of Commons, the lower parliament of Parliament. The natural purpose of the legislature, scheduled for October, was developed by the decision of Prime Minister Mark Carney, which took the deportation of Justin Trudeau last March.

The latter resigned from his post on January 6, 2025, after 15 years as a party leader and nine prime minister. One of the first options for Carne, who was chosen by 85.9 % of the votes as the leader of the liberal party, was to summon the Canadians to vote soon and at a decisive moment for the country of North America.

Definitions and relations with the United States

The definitions imposed by US President Donald Trump, and his words during his investment days distinguished the Canadian election campaign. The coincidence on the definitions with Washington had already had a negative impact on the Canadian economy, causing employment losses and an increase in inflation that struck the middle classes above all.

To deal with the crisis, Carney announced an investment plan in the technological and renewable energy sectors, with the aim of stimulating national economic growth and reducing dependence on foreign markets.

Investigative studies indicate a fighter struggle between liberals and governors: the gap between them, which predicted just a few months ago, closed Carne, partly due to his economic experience and responses to Trump’s threats.

Indeed, the new liberal leader repeated the absolute importance of Canada, which would not accept any economic and political acknowledgment by the United States, repeated that any treaty or agreement should be based on mutual respect and equality between sovereign partners. After that, Carney promised a plan to diversify commercial partners in Canada, and to strengthen relations with Europe, Asia and Latin America for an independent and multilateral foreign policy.

In a strange challenge

The main competitor is the Conservative Party, whose candidate was Pierre Boelifer. Before Trudeau’s resignation, opinion polls were given as a possible winner: direct communication and criticism of political elites are some of the distinctive features. In his relations with the United States, he is less critical to Trump. Exactly this element can play for Carney.

However, the result of investigative studies is still unconfirmed. The challenge was attracted between the candidates: Pailievre attracts the oldest and most conservative voters, while Carne is gaining support between young people and the most concerned citizens on the environment and social justice.

On the progressive front, the new Democratic Party, led by Jagmeet Singh, grows in support, which proposes a program that focuses on social stocks, environmental protection and strengthening the health system. Although we are unlikely to look to the government, the National Democratic Party can play an important role in the case of fragmented parliament.

Finally, it remains to see what will be the level of participation in the vote. The first indicators seem positive and indicate an increase in participation compared to the latest elections. It is an uncertain but decisive vote for the future of Canada, which is still vibrating due to rapid political transformations in recent times and international tensions that require the ability to adapt.
