Indian-origin candidates contesting for Canada Federal election Today, Canadians head to the polls in the country's 45th federal election, with the Liberal and Conservative parties engaged in a tight race for power. The election features several high-profile party leaders, including Mark Carney, who leads the Liberal Party as the incumbent prime minister following Justin Trudeau's departure from politics. The Conservative Party is helmed by Pierre Poilievre, a Calgary representative with nearly two decades of parliamentary experience.

Meanwhile, Jagmeet Singh leads the New Democratic Party, making history as the first Sikh and visible minority leader of a major Canadian political party.
