Monday is election day in Canada, with the Liberal and Conservative parties in a dead heat to form the next government as America looms large among voters' concerns.
US President Donald Trump's controversial statements to make Canada the 51st state and ongoing tariff war have roiled voters across the nation as they prepare to cast ballots that will determine their next government. Seldom has a foreign actor played such a major role in a Canadian federal election.
The leaders of the trio of major federal parties – the Liberals, Conservatives, and New Democrat Party (NDP) – have each professed to be the best to stand up to the controversial US leader.
According to Abacus data poll results released heading into election day, the top three issues were reducing the cost of living at 45%, while Trump himself lurks as number two (30%) and at number three is affordable housing (20%).
The Liberals have been in power since 2015 and hold a four-point lead over Conservatives as voters head to the polls.
Last year Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre and his party held a commanding lead over the Liberals for months in various public polls. But then the deeply unpopular Justin Trudeau resigned as prime minister in January.
A Liberal leadership convention chose former Bank of Canada Governor Mark Carney as the new leader and a remarkable turnaround began, with the Liberals climbing steadily in public polls and into the lead the day before the election.
The NDP lags far behind the other two, and the best its leader Jagmeet Singh can hope for – and it is unlikely – is a minority government with the NDP holding the balance of power.

The opening 100 days of President Donald Trump's second term have tuned out to be the most consequential and sweeping start to a term since Franklin D. Roosevelt entered the White House. Trump's actions have targeted the architecture of the New Deal, the Great Society, as well as the Reagan Republican orthodoxy of free trade and strong international alliances. The Republican president has taken direct aim at law, media, public health and culture, attempting to bring all to heel.

Yemen’s Houthi rebels say an alleged U.S. airstrike that hit a prison holding African migrants killed at least 68 people. That’s according to the Houthis’ Civil Defense organization on Monday, which said 47 others were wounded. There was no immediate independent confirmation of the death toll and the U.S. military has not acknowledged conducting the strike in Yemen’s Saada governorate, a stronghold of the Houthis. Some 115 prisoners were held at the site. Graphic footage aired by the Houthis' al-Masirah satellite news channel showed what appeared to be dead bodies and others wounded there.
Authorities say more than 100 immigrants suspected of being in the United States illegally were taken into custody during a raid at an illegal after-hours nightclub in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Video posted online by the Drug Enforcement Administration showed agents announcing their presence outside the building early Sunday. DEA special agent in charge John Pullen says the club has been under investigation for several months for alleged activities including drug trafficking, prostitution and “crimes of violence.” Pullen says U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement took the immigrants into custody. Also among those detained were a dozen active-duty military service members who either were patrons or were working as armed security.
