Canadians vote on April 28 to elect a new prime minister. The key contenders are Mark Carney (Liberal) focusing on economic reform and government action, and Pierre Poilievre (Conservative) pushing for deregulation and tougher crime policies.

Canada's election sees Donald Trump's influence. His trade war and remarks fueled nationalism. This helped the Liberal Party. Mark Carney leads polls after Justin Trudeau's exit. Pierre Poilievre faces challenges.

According to survey data released last week by Pollara, Canadians are evenly split on whether they want this federal election to result in "change" or "stability." The next two weeks might be about what mix of change and stability Canadians want — and who they believe can deliver it.
