Carney; Trump Key Issue In Canada’s Election

TORONTO (AP) — Prime Minister Mark Carney says who will go up against U.S. President Donald Trump is the key question in Canada’s election while his Conservative rival argued Carney doesn’t represent change after 10 years of Liberal Party rule. Opposition Conservative Pierre Poilievre says during the French-language leaders’ debate Canada needs change and Carney is just like his predecessor Justin Trudeau. Trump’s frequent attacks on Canada’s economy and sovereignty have infuriated Canadians and led to a surge in nationalism that has bolstered Liberal Party poll numbers ahead of the April 28 vote. Poilievre is imploring Canadians not to give the Liberals a fourth term.
