Canadians will face a crucial election on Monday (April 28th), and the focus of this election has been overshadowed by controversial remarks by US President Trump! He not only threatened to impose a 25% tariff on Canadian cars, but also openly called for Canada to "become the 51st state of the United States", instantly igniting the patriotic sentiment of the Canadian people. Liberal Prime Minister Mark Carney took advantage of the situation to consolidate his support, while Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre fiercely attacked domestic economic issues, and the election campaign was full of gunpowder.

1. Trump's' tariffs+annexation 'remarks anger Canada

Trump said last week that he may impose high tariffs on Canadian cars and even hinted at using "economic means" to make Canada the "51st state of the United States". On Monday, he shouted on social media: "Choose a strong leader, half taxes, free military upgrades, triple industrial expansion... there are no longer 'artificially defined boundaries'!" This statement caused a stir in Canadian politics.

Liberal Party: Strong counterattack, focusing on the "anti American card"

Kani posted a counterattack: 'Raise your elbow, Canada! # Never51!'! ”("Raise your elbow" is an ice hockey term, symbolizing tough confrontation). With his qualifications as G7 central bank governors, he emphasized that he is best equipped to deal with Trump's economic threats.

Conservative Party: Focus on domestic issues, criticize Liberal Party for 'selling anxiety'

Bo Lizhi angrily rebuked Trump for "not interfering in Canadian elections" and fiercely attacked the Liberal Party's incompetence on economic, crime, and housing issues, attracting a large number of young voters.

2. The polls are deadlocked, with the Liberal Party leading slightly

The latest poll by Nanos shows a support rate of 42.6% for the Liberal Party and 39.9% for the Conservative Party, with a gap of only 2.7%.

EKOS prediction: The Liberal Party may win a majority of seats in parliament without relying on small parties to govern.

3. Voters' voice: Do we want stability or change?

Supporting the Liberal Party: 'Carney understands the economy, now stability is needed!' "(Andy Hill, 37 year old mortgage broker in Vancouver)

Supporting the Conservative Party: 'The Liberal Party will only hype up' Trump fears'! The economy is the key! '"(66 year old voter Bob Lowe)

Summary: The election results will be announced tonight, can Canada withstand the 'Trump storm'?

This election is not only a showdown between the Liberal Party and the Conservative Party, but also a battle to defend Canada's "national dignity". Trump's arrogant remarks unexpectedly fueled Canadian national sentiment, but ultimately voters still have to choose - whether to choose Carney's "anti American and stable economy" route or Boli Zhi's "domestic priority" strategy? No matter who wins, Canadians have declared with their votes: We will never be the 51st state! The election results will be announced gradually from the eastern provinces after the voting ends on Monday evening local time. Ballots are counted manually.

Analysts point out that if the Liberal Party wins: Carney's policies lean towards stability, the market may see it as a "shield against Trump", and the Canadian dollar (CAD) may slightly strengthen. But if Trump continues to impose car tariffs, the Canadian dollar will still be under pressure. If the Conservative Party wins: Bo Lizhi advocates "economic priority" and may introduce stimulus policies such as tax cuts, which will benefit the Canadian dollar in the short term. But if the relationship with Trump deteriorates, the risk of tariffs still exists.

Traders need to closely monitor: the final distribution of seats in the election (whether there will be a hung parliament?), Trump's subsequent statements (whether to escalate the trade war?), and the Bank of Canada's policies (whether to cut interest rates early if the economy is impacted?).
