Key Facts

• Mark Carney and Pierre Poilievre are the leaders of Canada's Liberal and Conservative parties, respectively.
• Pierre Poilievre has a campaign message called "Bring it Home" which is about bringing change to the government and showing love for Canada.
• Mark Carney's supporters like him because they believe he can handle the relationship with America, even with President Trump in charge.
• The election comes after a time when things changed very quickly in Canada's government and politics. For instance, Justin Trudeau, the former Prime Minister, resigned, and Trump came back to be president in America.
• National polls (surveys that ask lots of people what they think) suggest that the race between Carney's and Poilievre's parties is close, with the Liberal party slightly ahead.

• Pierre Poilievre is particularly focusing on people who are unhappy with the last ten years under the Liberal government, and wants to address issues like housing and the economy.
• Canada's election will likely be won by whoever convinces voters that they can handle the relationship with the United States and President Trump the best.
• Mark Carney has experience in dealing with big economic events like the 2008 Financial Crisis and Brexit (that's when the United Kingdom decided to leave a group of countries called the European Union).
