Polls open for tight election in Canada as Trudeau seeks to fend off conservative rival

Polls opened in Canada on Monday for a tightly contested general election pitting incumbent Prime Minister Justin Trudeau against a conservative rival.
Trudeau called the snap election in mid-August, barely two years into his minority government, betting he could capitalize on his handling of the pandemic to win a majority in parliament.
But once-favorable polls for Trudeau and his Liberals quickly reversed course, with the Conservative Party's Erin O'Toole fighting his way into a statistical tie, according to national tracking surveys over the past few day

One year ago this week, Joe Biden was president. I was in Doha, Qatar, negotiating with Israel and Hamas to finalize a ceasefire and hostage release deal. The incoming Trump team worked closely with us, a rare display of nonpartisanship to free hostages and end a war. It feels like a decade ago. A lot can happen in a year, as 2025 has shown.
