Canadians head to the polls on Monday to vote in an election that is being read by many as a referendum on the country’s relationship with the United States, after its president waged economic war and even threatened to annex its northern neighbour.
The election comes in the wake of a fatal car ramming attack on Saturday in Vancouver. The incident, which left 11 dead, led to the suspension of campaigning for several hours. Police ruled out terrorism and said they had charged a man with a history of mental health issues with murder.
