Liberal party surges in Canada following political upheaval

The Canadian political landscape has changed dramatically. At the start of the year, the Liberal party was at 16% in polls, while the Conservatives led at 45%. Following Prime Minister Trudeau's announcement to resign and Trump's comments about annexation, the situation shifted. The Liberals, now led by Mark Carney, have surged in popularity, with a recent poll showing them at 42% compared to the Conservatives at 37%. This marks a significant turnaround for the Liberals, who are now approaching majority government territory. However, there are concerns about the stability of Liberal support. Only 49% of potential Liberal voters are strongly committed, compared to 66% for the Conservative party. This indicates that the Liberal lead may not be secure as the campaign progresses.
