‘Who is going to face Mr Trump’: Canada leaders’ debate dominated by US crisis

### Summary: - Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney emphasized dealing with U.S. President Donald Trump as the key issue in the upcoming election during a French-language leaders’ debate. - Opposition Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre argued for change after a decade of Liberal rule, likening Carney to his predecessor Justin Trudeau. - Carney responded by focusing on economic growth and his differences from Trudeau. - The province of Quebec, with 78 seats in the House of Commons, is seen as crucial for victory. - Poilievre seeks to make the election a referendum on Trudeau’s decade-long rule marked by rising food and housing prices and increased immigration. - Polls show Liberals trailing Conservatives but have since improved, with the latest poll giving Liberals an eight-point lead. - The debate was rescheduled to avoid conflict with a Montreal Canadiens hockey game, reflecting the importance of local interests in political scheduling.
