As Canadians head to the polls to choose their next government, their boisterous neighbor to the south — President Donald Trump — has dominated the conversation.

Mark Carney, the new prime minister seeking a full term in Monday’s election, has built his campaign around President Trump’s threats to the country.

President Donald Trump says Canada would “cease to exist” if it weren’t for the United States. Wednesday's comments came just days before Canadians are set to vote in an election dominated by Trump’s remarks on the country’s economy and sovereignty.
