Here's a look at the Liberal leadership race and where the candidates stand on First Nation, Inuit and Métis policies.

The leadership race is being contested in part on who is best to negotiate with the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump. As such, candidates are under some incentive to exhibit their ease in speaking to Americans and garnering sympathy from American audiences.

According to data from Abacus Data, 33% of Canadians have a positive perception of Mark Carney, compared to 29% for Chrystia Freeland. This gap also widens among current supporters of the Canadian Liberal Party (PLC),

According to a new study by Léger, Mark Carney is still the frontrunner to become the next Liberal Party of Canada leader.

Chrystia Freeland sent shockwaves through Canada when she resigned as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Finance Minister in December. Her public resignation letter blasted Trudeau for not doing enough to prepare for the second Trump administration.

Chrystia Freeland, the former finance minister who is running to replace Justin Trudeau as Canada's prime minister, says her country needs to release a “retaliation list” of goods the country would target if U.

Freeland said that, should President Trump impose a 25% tariff on Canadian imports as he has promised, Canada must direct government departments and agencies to stop purchasing goods and services from U.S. companies and prohibit U.S. firms from bidding on government contracts, with the exception of defense.

Freeland, who is seeking to frame herself in the Liberal leadership race as the candidate best able to deal with Trump, is calling for a "buy Canadian" response to tariffs that would threaten to cut the U.S. off from Canadian government procurement, with the exception of defence.

A candidate running to replace Justin Trudeau as Canada’s prime minister is calling for an international summit to develop a response to President Donald Trump’s economic threats.

Security will play a more central role in Canada’s upcoming elections. Whoever wins should learn from Justin Trudeau’s mixed record on that front.

The six candidates running for Liberal leadership have now all registered with Elections Canada, which monitors their fundraising activities as political leadership contestants under the law.

Chrystia Freeland says that if she becomes the next Liberal leader and prime minister, she will reduce the federal cabinet and the number of staff in the Prime Minister’s Office by half.
