Canadians voted on Monday (local time) to choose their next Prime Minister to confront America’s trade war and annexation threats, which US President Donald Trump renewed in an election day message that drew immediate rebukes.

India strongly criticized Pakistan at the UN, citing Defence Minister Khawaja Asif’s admission of supporting and training terrorists. Yojna Patel condemned Pakistan’s misuse of the UN platform for propaganda and highlighted India’s experience as a victim of cross-border terrorism, particularly referencing the recent Pahalgam attack and expressing gratitude for international support.

Canadians went to the polls amidst a narrative dominated by Donald Trump’s comments about Canada, overshadowing domestic issues. Early results indicate a tight race between the Liberal and Conservative parties, particularly in key regions like Ontario and Quebec. Poilievre’s association with Trump proved a liability, while strategic voting patterns emerged in Atlantic Canada, reflecting the high stakes of the election.
