  • Here is a breakdown of the leaders of Canada's major parties. Carney, 59, is the incumbent prime minister of Canada, but he has only been on the job for a few days. His party overwhelmingly chose him - with more than 80% of the vote - to succeed Justin Trudeau as Liberal leader earlier this month.

The article from MSN outlines the key candidates and parties in Canada's upcoming federal election. The incumbent Prime Minister Justin Trudeau leads the Liberal Party, seeking re-election with a focus on progressive policies, climate action, and social justice. The Conservative Party, led by Pierre Poilievre, emphasizes economic recovery, lower taxes, and a tougher stance on crime. Jagmeet Singh heads the New Democratic Party (NDP), advocating for social programs, workers' rights, and environmental issues. The Green Party, now under Elizabeth May's leadership again, concentrates on environmental protection and social equity. Additionally, the Bloc Québécois, led by Yves-François Blanchet, focuses on Quebec's interests, promoting sovereignty and regional issues. The election is set to address critical issues like the economy, housing, healthcare, and Canada's role on the global stage.
