Mississauga, Ontario--- Donald Trump cast a shadow on Canada's national election - many Canadian voters have noticed.
After his first 100 days at the White House, the U.S. president rolled barbs in northern U.S. neighbors, imposed tariffs on Canadian goods and talked about making Canada the 51st state.
It has many Canadian voters thinking about how Trump and the voting parties will respond to him. Prime Minister Mark Carney's Liberal Party won the victory of conservative opposition leader Pierre Poilievre, a dramatic reversal of wealth, largely attributed to Trump.
Here are some voices from voters voting in Monday’s election:
Reid Warren said in Toronto that he voted for the liberals because he believed the party was characterized by the best in the economy, especially in "real uncertainty."
"I don't think there's a better option right now," he voted in Toronto. "I know people believe in Poilievre, but it's the same, like the sound you get from anyone else. To me, it sounds like a minitrump."
Warren, who works at the wholesale food distribution center, said Canadians do feel a little push in the unification created by “all the shadows thrown from the United States”, but 'there will certainly cause some turmoil, which is for sure. ”
"Only many times you can hear, you know, '51st State' and 'Governor this' and all the disrespect you have to consider, at some point, you have to take it seriously."
In a very strange, upside-down way, this could be a good thing for Canada because I think we might have too much relationship with the United States. I mean, I mean, they always become our neighbors, our companions, our friends, our hope. But consider other possibilities, consider our own obstacles, but think hard in a territory, and gradually think hard in a territory, and I will think hard in a territory, and I will think hard in a territory, and I will think hard in a territory, and I will think hard in a territory, and I will think hard in a territory, and I will think hard in a territory, and I will think hard in a situation, and I will think hard in a situation, and I will think hard in a situation, and I will think hard in a situation, and I will think hard in a situation, and I will think hard in a situation, and I will think hard in a situation, and I will think hard in a situation, and I will think hard in a situation, and I will think hard in a situation, and I will think hard in a situation, and I will think hard in a situation, and I will think hard in a situation, and I will think hard in a situation, and I will think hard in a situation, and I will think hard in a situation, and I will think hard in a situation, and I will think hard in a situation, and I will think hard in a situation, and I will think hard in a situation, and I will think hard in a situation, and I will think hard in a situation, and I will think hard in a situation, and I will think hard in a situation, and I will think hard in a situation, and I will think hard in a situation, and I will think hard in a situation, and I will think hard in a situation, and I will think hard in a situation, and I will think hard in a situation, and I will think hard in a situation, and I will think hard in a situation, and I will think hard in a situation, and I will think hard in a situation, and I will think hard in a situation, and I will think hard in a situation, and I will think hard in a situation, and I will think hard in a situation, and I will think hard in a situation, and I will think hard in a situation, and I will think hard in a situation, and I will think hard in a situation, and I will think hard in a situation, and I will think hard in a situation, and I will think hard in a situation, and I will think hard in a situation, and I will think hard in a situation, and I will think
Sisters Laiqa and Mahira Shoaib said they both voted for change in Monday's election, and both said Trump's rhetoric and tariff plans affected their decision.
Sisters who immigrated from Pakistan a decade ago and voted in Mississauga, Ontario said the economy deteriorated and job opportunities dried up under free rule.
"When we arrived, things were different," Laiqa Shoaib said after the vote. "We need to get rid of the liberals."
Laiqa, 27, is a health care worker who voted for the New Democratic Party. Mahira, 25, works in a bank and supports the Conservatives and Poilievre, which she calls "business awareness."
"If Mark Carney wins, we're definitely the 51st state," she said.
