Canada: Christians urged to engage

The Evangelical Fellowship of Canada (EFC) has called on Canadian Christians to fully engage with the political process ahead of the national federal election, describing voting as a “privilege and responsibility”.

The upcoming election, called by newly elected Liberal Party leader and prime minister Mark Carney and due to be held on 28 April, will be the first contest the liberals have faced without former prime minister Justin Trudeau at the helm in ten years, and Carney’s party is neck and neck with the Conservatives in the polls.

While the EFC is not formally backing a candidate and has urged member churches to take a non-partisan stance, it has issued guidance on key questions they should ask candidates about if they engage directly with them.
