Canada’s Prime Minister Mark Carney has called a snap election on April 28th, following a strained relationship with the US and threats to Canada’s economic and political future. Carney accused US President Trump of unjustified trade actions and threats to the country’s sovereignty. He emphasized the need for Canada to look out for its interests and not become a part of the US. The election campaign will last for a minimum of 37 days, and Carney aims to avoid a hostile parliament by seeking a strong mandate. The Liberal party has been experiencing an unprecedented swing in the polls, putting them ahead of the Conservatives and potentially forming a majority government.
