When former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced his plans to resign, his Liberals trailed the Conservatives by more than 20 points in most polls, and the Tory leader Pierre Poilievre looked certain to be Canada's next premier.

Canadians will head to the polls on Monday for an election dramatically reshaped by U.S. President Donald Trump’s aggressive rhetoric, with Prime Minister Mark Carney’s Liberal Party favoured to win after a stunning political turnaround.

Canada's election on Monday follows a campaign dominated by concerns over US President Trump's threats. Mark Carney, replacing Justin Trudeau, is favoured, emphasising his experience to counter Trump's policies.
