Canadians are heading to the polls in a snap election to decide their next prime minister, just six weeks after Mark Carney replaced Justin Trudeau. The ruling Liberal Party, led by Carney, faces a tough battle against Pierre Poilievre's Conservative Party. Amid the election, US President Donald Trump reignited controversy by urging Canada to become the 51st US state through a social media post. Poilievre quickly rebuked Trump, telling him to "stay out of our election," while Carney urged Canadians to remain "united and strong" against political turmoil in the United States. Voter turnout remains high across Canada. (PC: BBC)
