00:00New Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney called for a snap election at the end of April.

00:07His Liberal Party appeared poised for historic election defeat earlier this year,

00:12until neighbouring US President Donald Trump declared a trade war.

00:16Trump's almost daily attacks have infuriated Canadians,

00:20leading to a surge of nationalism that bolstered Liberal poll numbers.

00:24We are facing the most significant crisis of our lifetimes

00:28because of President Trump's unjustified trade actions and his threats to our sovereignty.

00:35Our response must be to build a strong economy and a more secure Canada.

00:43While several parties are running, Canada's Liberals and Conservatives

00:47are the only two that have a real chance to form government.

00:51The vote is expected to focus on which party is best equipped to deal with Trump.
