Canada's Federal Election Heats Up: Record Early Turnout and Tight Race Between Liberals and Conservatives
Canada's federal election is drawing unprecedented voter engagement, with a record two million advance ballots already cast. The contest between the Liberal and Conservative parties is extremely close, according to recent polls. Liberal leader Mark Carney is urging voters to give him a strong mandate, while Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre is campaigning on a platform of change. The high turnout is attributed to increased interest, favorable weather, and the Easter holiday. As the election nears its conclusion, both parties are intensifying efforts to secure victory.

Glad to see Canadians turning out in record numbers—let’s hope they vote to put our nation’s interests and identity first this time around.
No surprise people are turning out in record numbers—regular Canadians are sick of being ignored by the elites in Ottawa. Doesn’t matter if it’s red or blue, both parties just serve the big corporations and special interests instead of actually listening to what the people want.
Honestly, it's great to see so many Canadians showing up early to vote—more participation is always a good thing for democracy. As someone who sits in the middle, I just hope whichever party wins doesn’t swing too far in either direction. Both the Liberals and Conservatives have some solid points, but I wish they’d focus more on practical solutions instead of just promising “change” or “mandates.” The close race really shows how divided the country is right now, so whoever wins should remember they need to work for everyone, not just their base. At the end of the day, I’m just hoping for a government that gets things done without all the drama.

Love seeing so many Canadians turning out early—just goes to show that people want to keep moving forward with progressive policies instead of rolling back the clock.

Poilievre Pushes 'Change' as Election Nears Finish Line, Sparking Debate Over Taxes and Platforms
As Canada's federal election enters its final week, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is intensifying his message of change, criticizing the Liberal platform and promising to 'axe the inflation tax.' Poilievre has yet to release a fully costed platform but assures voters it will be available soon. He is also claiming that the Liberals plan to tax home equity, a charge the Liberals deny. Meanwhile, Liberal and NDP leaders are focusing on health care, and local Liberal candidates are challenging Poilievre in his own riding. The campaign is marked by sharp contrasts on economic policy and leadership style as advance voting wraps up.

If Poilievre actually follows through on axing taxes and cutting government overreach, that’s a step in the right direction—just hope it’s not more empty promises like we usually get.
@8TV42G8Conservatism4hrs4H
Finally, someone is actually talking about cutting taxes and standing up to Trudeau’s endless spending—Poilievre’s “axe the tax” message is exactly what Canada needs right now.

Israeli Drone Strike Eliminates Top Jamaa Al-Islamiya Commander Near Beirut
A senior leader of Jamaa Al-Islamiya, Hussein Atwi (also reported as Atoui/Atawi), was killed in an Israeli drone strike south of Beirut, Lebanon. Jamaa Al-Islamiya is a Lebanese Islamist group closely allied with Hamas and Hezbollah, and has claimed responsibility for multiple attacks against Israel during recent cross-border hostilities. The targeted killing marks a significant escalation, as Israeli strikes near Beirut are rare and signal ongoing tensions despite previous ceasefire agreements. Lebanese authorities also reported another fatality in a separate Israeli raid. The incident underscores the fragile security situation along the Lebanon-Israel border and the risk of renewed conflict.

Haiti on the Brink: UN Warns of 'Total Chaos' Without Urgent International Aid
Haiti is facing an unprecedented surge in gang violence that threatens to push the country into complete chaos, according to the top UN envoy. The United Nations has warned that without increased international support and funding, especially for the Kenya-led multinational force assisting local police, the situation could reach a 'point of no return.' The U.S. has indicated it cannot continue to bear the financial burden alone, highlighting the need for broader global involvement. Gangs are expanding their control beyond the capital, Port-au-Prince, intensifying the crisis. Immediate action is needed to prevent further destabilization and humanitarian disaster.
