Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has officially announced early parliamentary elections, set to take place on April 28. This was reported by CBC.
As expected, Carney made the announcement on Sunday, March 23, emphasizing that the elections are necessary to address key economic issues.
The election campaign will last 36 days—the minimum period allowed by law. The main points of contention between the Liberal and Conservative parties are expected to focus on responses to Donald Trump’s trade policies and the protection of Canadian sovereignty.
Earlier polls had predicted a victory for the Conservative Party. However, following Trump’s statements regarding Canada and the resignation of Justin Trudeau, the Liberal Party’s position has strengthened. Carney aims to capitalize on this favorable momentum in the election race.
Mark Carney officially took office as prime minister on March 14 after Justin Trudeau’s resignation.
