He replaced Justin Trudeau, who had led the Liberals for 13 years and the country for nearly a decade, but had grown deeply unpopular.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Carney had been widely expected to call for a quick election. He does not have a seat in Canada\u2019s Parliament, and the Liberals do not command a majority, meaning that their government was likely to fall in a vote of no-confidence as early as Monday had he not called for the election.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The Liberals\u2019 main opponents are the Conservatives, led by Pierre Poilievre.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Trump\u2019s aggressive stance toward Canada has been a boon for the Liberals and Mr. Carney. Before Mr. Trump took office, the Conservatives had been ahead by double digits in polls and a victory for Mr. Poilievre seemed a foregone conclusion.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But voters have grown concerned that Mr. Poilievre is too ideologically similar to Mr. Trump to stand up to him, and they are drawn to Mr. Carney\u2019s economics experience and long career on the international stage. Polls show that Mr. Carney and the Liberals have eliminated a 25-percentage-point lead held by the Conservatives and the two enter the election period neck-and-neck.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"css-13o6u42 eoo0vm40\" id=\"link-71e7ac0d\">Who\u2019s running?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Carney and the Liberals will square off against the Conservatives and Mr. Poilievre, 45, a career politician who made his name as an aggressive orator unafraid to adopt some of Mr. Trump\u2019s style.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Poilievre is a mainstream conservative who has long supported deregulation, tax cuts and an abandonment of Trudeau-era environmental policies in order to enable Canada to ratchet up the exploitation of its vast natural resources, predominantly oil and gas.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Poilievre has also waded into culture war topics and borrowed language from Mr. Trump: He attacks practices and politicians as \u201cwoke,\u201d has called for the defunding of the Canadian national broadcaster and has said he believes there are only two genders.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">He has also said he wants to make Canada the world\u2019s cryptocurrency capital, showing the same affinity for the alternative financial asset as Mr. Trump.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Carney, by contrast, has been in the public eye for decades but not in a political capacity. He was governor of the Bank of Canada during the global financial crisis of 2008, and the Bank of England during Brexit.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Since then he has been working in senior roles in the private sector and has, in recent years, become a prominent advocate for sustainable investment, taking on a role as a United Nations special envoy on climate action and finance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In the few short days that he has been in office, Mr. Carney has come across as fluent in economics and comfortable on the global stage, but less accustomed to the close scrutiny of his personal affairs, which is not unusual for people running for high public office.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-4\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The third party, the Bloc Quebecois, is led by Yves-Fran\u00e7ois Blanchet and is dedicated to Quebec nationalism.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Canada\u2019s fourth-largest party, the New Democratic Party, led by Jagmeet Singh, is to the left of the Liberals. The N.D.P. offered support for the Liberal minority government in the House of Commons until September, and was able to get some of its core social policies approved in exchange.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"css-13o6u42 eoo0vm40\" id=\"link-80d54c7\">How do Canada\u2019s elections work?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Canada has a first-past-the-post electoral system, which means that candidates who get the most votes in their district win, regardless of whether they secure a majority. Voters elect local members of the House of Commons, not individual party leaders, as they would in a presidential system. Parties select their leaders, who then can become prime minister.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-5\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The country is divided into 343 electoral districts, known in Canada as ridings, each one corresponding to a seat in the House of Commons.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-6\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">To form a majority government, a party needs to win 172 seats. If the party with the most seats has fewer than 172, it can still form a minority government, but would need the support of another party to pass legislation.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"css-13o6u42 eoo0vm40\" id=\"link-637e7577\">What happens next?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In the run-up to the election, Mr. Carney will remain prime minister and will technically continue to lead the country together with his cabinet. But they will be in \u201ccaretaker\u201d mode and, under Canada\u2019s conventions, can only focus on necessary business, such as dealing with routine or urgent matters. They cannot make new major or controversial decisions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The parties and their leaders will hit the campaign trail immediately. For Mr. Carney, this will be a critical time since he is not an experienced campaigner, unlike Mr. Poilievre, who is seasoned in retail politics.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Both men will travel the vast country to try to secure support. Mr. Carney\u2019s campaign will be open to journalists paying their own way to travel with him on the trail.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Poilievre\u2019s campaign said it would not allow the news media to join him on trips, stressing that its decision was for logistical reasons and that news coverage was welcomed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion
