Ottawa, (Rajeev Sharma)– As Canadians prepare to head to the polls on Monday, federal party leaders are making their final campaign pushes across the country. Former Prime Minister Jean Chrétien has added a jolt to the race by predicting a Liberal majority win, energizing Mark Carney’s campaign in the critical final stretch.
The Liberal Party, under Mark Carney’s leadership, is focusing heavily on key urban ridings in Ontario and Quebec, emphasizing economic stability, climate action, and healthcare improvements. Carney has presented the Liberals as the party best positioned to ensure Canada’s long-term prosperity.
Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre, meanwhile, is zeroing in on affordability issues, promising tax cuts and highlighting cost-of-living concerns. His campaign is particularly targeting suburban ridings in the Greater Toronto Area and British Columbia.
NDP leader Jagmeet Singh is stressing housing affordability, pharmacare, and wealth redistribution, hoping to expand the party’s influence in a likely minority Parliament.
In Quebec, Yves-François Blanchet’s Bloc Québécois is campaigning hard on issues of Quebec identity and language rights, aiming to secure strong gains.
Polls show a tight race nationally, with the Liberals slightly ahead but facing stiff competition from the Conservatives. Voter turnout, particularly in battleground ridings, will be decisive in shaping the outcome.
With Chrétien’s endorsement and the momentum from strong early voting numbers, the Liberals are banking on a late surge to push them over the majority mark.
