Today, Canadians head to the polls in the country's 45th federal election, with the Liberal and Conservative parties engaged in a tight race for power.
The election features several high-profile party leaders, including Mark Carney, who leads the Liberal Party as the incumbent prime minister following Justin Trudeau's departure from politics. The Conservative Party is helmed by Pierre Poilievre, a Calgary representative with nearly two decades of parliamentary experience.
The Bloc Québécois continues under the leadership of Yves-François Blanchet, who has held the position since 2019. Meanwhile,
Jagmeet Singh leads the New Democratic Party, making history as the first Sikh and visible minority leader of a major Canadian political party.
This election represents a significant turning point in Canadian politics, as it marks the first time in recent years that Justin Trudeau's name will not appear on the ballot.
The Indian-Canadian community wields considerable electoral influence, with more than 65 candidates of Indian origin competing for seats in the House of Commons.
