The Boot: Should he be on the other side of Trump?
Canadian Prime Minister and Liberal Party leader Mark Carney's strategy for winning the election in Canada has been to position himself as a strong leader to deal with Donald Trump. In his final campaign speech last night, he reiterated that message, writes the Toronto Star.
- Is Pierre Poilievre the person you want on the other side of the table from Donald Trump? Carney asked.
Carney said that he himself has dealt with crises and economies before, and now is the time for "experience, not experimentation".
His opponent from the Conservative Party, Poilievre, has positioned himself as the party of a strong economy that they believe the Liberals have destroyed for decades.
Tomorrow, Canadians go to the polls in the new election that Mark Carney called after he took over the role when Justin Trudeau resigned. Ahead of tomorrow, the Liberals and Carney have a small lead in opinion polls, writes the BBC.

Top candidates lied during election campaign
The election campaign in Canada was full of misinformation, exaggerated claims and outright lies. This is reported by the CBC ahead of Monday's election.
Liberal prime minister candidate Mark Carney claimed that Canada avoided a recession during the 2008 financial crisis when he himself was governor of the Riksbank. This is not true. "We are now in a recession," Carney himself said in parliament at the time.
He has also claimed that his Conservative rival, Pierre Poilievre, wants to end aid. That is exaggerated. The truth is that he wants to make major cuts.
Poilievre has in turn claimed that the Liberals completed their election manifesto when the unpopular Justin Trudeau was still party leader - and then only changed Trudeau's name. But according to the party, Carney's team has been highly involved in developing the promises.
He has also repeatedly referred to a government-linked think tank's bleak report on the future of the economy. Poilievre has falsely claimed that these are forecasts and scenarios, which is not true.
