Canadians across the country are heading to the polls today to decide the nation’s next federal government. After weeks of debates, campaign promises, and shifting polls, Election Day has finally arrived, and voters are showing up with clear expectations: affordability, healthcare improvements, and stronger national leadership.
Polling stations opened early this morning and will remain open throughout the day. Voters are encouraged to bring valid identification and check their assigned polling location before heading out. Turnout is expected to be strong, with many Canadians calling this one of the most defining elections of the decade.
