"US tariff threats" ignite enthusiasm among Canadian voters, with over 2 million participating in the first day of advance voting in the election.

On April 21, Jin10 reported that according to AFP, the agency responsible for elections in Canada recently pointed out that the participation scale on the first day of advance voting for the Canadian election exceeded 2 million, a rise of 36% compared to the same period of the 2021 election. This demonstrates the high enthusiasm of voters to exercise their voting rights during a “special election cycle shrouded in tensions in US-Canada relations.” In major cities such as Montreal and Toronto, many polling stations saw long lines of voters on the first day of voting. Reports indicate that the Trump administration’s continuous threats of tariffs and attacks on Canada’s sovereignty have prompted many Canadian voters to cast their ballots for parties perceived to be the most capable of dealing with the Trump administration.
