Canada’s 45th general election is officially underway. In five weeks, voters will head to the polls to decide who will be the next prime minister. Party leaders are wasting no time, each pitching themselves as the best option to lead the country towards economic unity and strength.

Liberal Leader Mark Carney will run in the Ottawa riding of Nepean. He is calling for a “strong, positive mandate” to take on U.S. President Donald Trump and build the economy. Mackenzie Gray reports.

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre launched his campaign in Gatineau, Que. He says a Conservative government will be “respectful and firm” when standing up to Trump and will improve economic output across Canada. As David Akin reports, this election campaign is shaping up to be neck-and-neck.

The NDP, meanwhile, kicked off a campaign that is likely to be critical for Jagmeet Singh’s party. While the Liberals have made a dramatic comeback, support is collapsing for the New Democrats. Some opinion polls suggest the outlook is so bad they could lose official party status. Touria Izri explains.

The Bloc Quebecois launched its party in Montreal on Sunday. They are also facing unexpected headwinds heading into the election. The party has long focused on Quebec sovereignty but that has been overshadowed by Trump’s threats on Canadian sovereignty. Mike Armstrong reports.
