Canada's federal election is drawing intense attention as more than seven million Canadians participated in advance polls, marking a significant 25% increase from 2021. The Conservative Party has released its costed campaign platform, which has faced criticism from opponents like Mark Carney, who called the numbers 'a joke.' While the election was initially expected to focus on issues affecting young Canadians, topics such as the ongoing trade war with the U.S. have taken precedence. Additionally, changing electoral boundaries, such as in Calgary Skyview, have led to unpredictable and competitive local races. The overall atmosphere is one of heightened engagement and shifting priorities.
