The Canadian federal election is shaping up to be a pivotal contest over the country’s economic direction and sovereignty. Liberal leader Mark Carney has unveiled a platform promising tax cuts, increased defense and infrastructure spending, and a shift away from economic reliance on the United States. The plan also includes larger deficits and $28 billion in unspecified spending cuts, as well as changes to carbon tax policies. The election comes amid global uncertainty, with international developments—such as a potential Trump presidency—impacting Canada’s economic outlook. Competing visions from Carney and other party leaders highlight the stakes for Canada’s future.
