Candidates fan across Canada on Day 2 of federal election campaign. Live updates here.

Canadians will elect a new government on April 28, with Liberal leader Mark Carney officially launching the federal election campaign on Sunday. In the coming weeks, party leaders will be trying to establish themselves as the best fit to lead the country. Here's the latest from day two of the campaign:

10:22 a.m.: Polivre promises income tax cuts
Conservative leader Pierre Polivre has promised to cut the lowest income tax rate from 15 percent to 12.75 percent. He says the move could save a two-income family $1,800 a year. A person earning $57,000 would also benefit by about $900 a year.
He says the cost of the tax cuts will be offset by cuts in government bureaucracy, but he did not provide a specific figure.
His first official campaign event was held today at a factory in Brampton, Ont.

9:56 a.m.: Fishermen protest Carney’s presence
Mark Carney’s first campaign rally in St. John’s, Newfoundland, was marred by dozens of fishermen. About 100 people were prevented from entering the venue by police restrictions. They were protesting new snow crab quotas.
“I know you’re here to be heard. I’m here to listen. I understand that decisions need to be made closer to the docks,” Carney told the protesters at the start of his speech.

He promised to overhaul the structure of the Department of Fisheries and Oceans if he wins.
The crowd of about 500 cheered him on as he promised a 1% tax cut for those earning less than $58,000 a year. The plan would benefit people by about $825 a year and cut government revenue by about $6 billion.
The biggest cheer came when Carney said of Donald Trump:
“He wants to break us up so America can own us.” The audience responded with chants of “no” and “we won’t let it.”

Today’s candidates’ itinerary
Mark Carney will travel to Gander, Newfoundland, where people were stranded on September 11, 2001.
Pierre Pulievre will be in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), a key area for the election.
NDP leader Jagmeet Singh will first travel to Montreal and then to the GTA.
Pulievre vows to “restore the promise of Canada”
He said he would deal with Donald Trump with respect and firmness. Poliver said the Liberal government has weakened the country over the past 10 years and has promised to force Trump to respect Canadian sovereignty and end the tariffs. A new set of U.S. tariffs are set to take effect April 2.

Carney launches campaign with attack on Trump
Carney, who has been prime minister for just nine days, launched his campaign promising to cut taxes and unite Canadians against Trump's economic threats. He called on Governor General Mary Simon to dissolve parliament and hold an early election.

Greens slam Carney
Green Party leaders Jonathan Pedneau and Elizabeth May kicked off their campaign in Montreal. Pedneau warned that as the Liberals shift to the right, the Green Party will defend progressive views. "The threat is real. This time our vote will determine the future of the country," he said.

NDP leader Jagmeet Singh slams Liberals and Conservatives for serving the rich and ignoring ordinary people's problems. He added that only the NDP will defend the people and fight for the interests of citizens "with all their might."

Election analysis

In a note by political analyst Eric Hamm, it says:
Canada has entered a new phase after Justin Trudeau's retirement from politics. Mark Carney has become prime minister while he must stand up to a tense US president, Trump.
Not only will Carney have to deal with the tariff crisis and trade war, but he will also have to fight at home to retain his position in a five-week election.
Canada's retaliatory measures against US tariffs include cutting off electricity exports, imposing reciprocal tariffs and reviewing arms deals.
