Canada Election Night! Trump公然"Interferes" in the Election,引起 Public Outrage! Polls Tighten Until the Last Minute, New Prime Minister Could Be in Place in Two Weeks!

The results could be out as early as tonight.

April 28 is Canada's federal election day, with millions of voters heading to polling stations to cast their crucial votes. The results could come out as early as tonight. Currently, the Liberal Party remains ahead by 3 percentage points in the polls, but the gap has narrowed.

Unexpectedly, on this election day, Trump, the madman, stuck his nose into it and even asked Canadians to vote for him?!

In fact, this election has been called the "Canada vs Trump" election by many. Poll predictions suggest that voter turnout in this year's Canadian election could reach a decades-high level!

The Canadian election has already begun, with many Canadians stepping out to vote. Canada spans six time zones, so the start and end times for voting vary from province to province. The final results are expected to be out late tonight or early tomorrow morning.

In this election, the two strong competitors are Liberal Party's Carney (42.8%) and Conservative Party's Poilievre (42.8%), while New Democratic Party's Singh (8.1%) is running as a runner-up.

Current Prime Minister Carney was originally tasked with taking over Trudeau's mess, and many voters saw his experience as a former central bank governor as an advantage, believing he has the ability to lead Canada through economic difficulties.

Carney also positioned himself as the "best choice" during his campaign, promising to rebuild the country, provide more housing for Canadians, create jobs by building factories, increase energy production, and reduce Canada's dependence on the United States.

Last month, Carney said, "We will stand up for Canadian workers and Canadian businesses. We will defend our history, our values, and our sovereignty."

Poilievre, on the other hand, portrayed himself as a reformer, promising to address issues such as skyrocketing housing costs, the cost-of-living crisis, and crime in Canada. A key focus for the Conservatives is "Canada First," advocating for reduced government spending, streamlined bureaucracy, and the repeal of environmental laws.

He stated that he would cut taxes, build houses, repair budgets, and release economic independence by constructing pipelines, mines, liquefied natural gas plants, and other economic infrastructure, allowing Canada to sell products domestically and internationally.

Different from the federal election four years ago, this election in 2025 has an important factor that Canadians consider when voting — Trump, who constantly talks about wind and rain.

Early this morning, Trump forcefully "interfered" in the election, posting on his self-created social media platform Truth Social:

"Good luck to the great people of Canada! Elect someone capable and wise who can halve your taxes, enhance military strength to the highest global level for free, quadruple the scale of your automotive, steel, aluminum, timber, energy, and other industries!"

Not only that, Trump also expressed his desire, reiterating that if Canada became the 51st state of the U.S., you would enjoy zero tariffs and zero taxes!

Throughout the 36-day Canadian election campaign, Trump's shadow can be seen everywhere, with trade wars and threats to sovereignty, yet it has not changed the high level of vigilance among Canadians.

In the sensitive period before the election, both Carney and Poilievre responded immediately.

Carney stated, "This is Canada, and we Canadians make our own decisions!"

Poilievre sternly demanded that Trump refrain from interfering in Canada's election and mind his own business: "Only Canadians can decide Canada's future at the ballot box," and Canada will never join the U.S.!

In fact, when facing Trump, the "universal enemy," Carney and Poilievre focused on different aspects during their campaigns.

Carney repeatedly publicly criticized Trump for attempting to "disrupt and annex Canada," stating that the decades-old relationship between Canada and the U.S. "has ended," and now Canada needs to strengthen ties with reliable trading partners like the UK and the EU.

In short, Canada is preparing to distance itself from the U.S., which is seen as an "unstable bomb," and seek new paths. In this world driven by interests, there are no permanent friends.

On the contrary, Poilievre's political agenda doesn't focus much on Trump. His strategy places greater emphasis on domestic issues in Canada.

This difference might influence voters' final decision.

Canada's federal election uses the single-member plurality system. The country is divided into 343 electoral districts, each corresponding to one seat, won by the candidate with the most votes.

A political party must secure at least 172 seats to form a majority government.

Currently, the Liberal Party remains the largest party in the Canadian parliament, controlling 152 seats.

When Trudeau stepped down, the Liberal Party's support rate continued to decline, dropping to around 20% last December, trailing the Conservative Party by over 20 percentage points. However, after Carney took over as Canadian Prime Minister, he took strong measures to counter the Trump administration, announcing retaliatory tariffs against the U.S., causing a rapid reversal in poll results, and the support rate revived, leading slightly until now.

Lori Williams, a political scholar at Mount Royal University, said, "The Conservative Party's loss of support is largely due to Trump's return to the White House."

Therefore, this election is also seen as a referendum on how Canadians view the Trump administration. Evan Solomon, a CBC anchor, said, "In America's allies, Canada will initiate the first public opinion referendum against Trump."

David Coletto, head of Canadian polling agency Abacus Data, also said, "Federal elections in Canada are rarely tied to specific issues. Fundamentally, this election is indeed about Trump. Trump's constant targeting of Canada has awakened Canadians."

If the Liberals win again, Mark Carney can continue to serve as prime minister without needing to take the oath again. If the Conservatives win, Poilievre is expected to officially become the new prime minister in two weeks.
