**OTTAWA** – With Canada’s election looming, Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre and incumbent Prime Minister Justin Trudeau (Note: the original text incorrectly names Mark Carney, the former Bank of England governor, as Prime Minister) delivered their final appeals to voters. Poilievre focused his message on warnings against further Liberal spending and tax increases, framing it as a key economic concern for Canadians. Meanwhile, Trudeau pledged “strong” action to counter potential economic challenges, specifically mentioning the need to address any ramifications from potential US tariffs under the Trump administration. The election is expected to be closely contested.
