Conservatives once had a 25-point lead ahead of Canada's next election. That lead has since vanished. Experts say Trump's actions may changed the course of the election.

Trump’s truculence has infuriated many Canadians, leading many to cancel U.S. vacations, refuse to buy American goods and possibly even vote early — a record 7.3 million Canadians cast ballots before election day. Trump also put Poilievre and the Conservative Party on the back foot after they appeared headed for an easy victory only months ago.

Canadians are at the polls, with the ruling Liberal Party favoured to stay in power after an extraordinary surge in support following Donald Trump's return to the US presidency.
