Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney to invite Snap elections, reports say
The newly elected Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney is likely to call the national elections for April 28. As soon as this Sunday, more news reports.
Since Canadian companies in restlessness after a trade battle with the US will be expected to be a former double central banker – to give up as a candidate who is best equipped to take over Donald Trump.
The 60-year-old political newcomer took over the leader of the Liberal Party after former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau departed from his nine-year term.
Snap survey announcement and a request for dissolution of parliament will request a five-week election campaign for Carney and its opponents.
Although the time of request for the dissolution of parliament is clearly – the exact date of the choice is not.
The Prime Minister tilts at the setting of April 28 as a vote date, Globe and Mail and Associated Press reported on Thursday, citing sources in the Government.
A short campaign could benefit Carney, some suggested, because most of the current dialogue revolves around the trade war, President Trump, after taking over his duty.
The elections are “almost sure that he will focus on the trade war of US President Donald Trump and his conversation about becoming Canada 51.” The Globe and Mail wrote.
Carney promised to support the reciprocal tariffs of Canada, if Trump maintains 25% of universal tariffs on Canadian goods, which is not covered by a trade agreement on the State and Mexico Agreement (Cusma).
Trump vowed to impose a large range of tariffs at the top of 25% of tariffs on April 2.
The race is likely to be reduced to the choice between Carney and the conservative leader of Pierre Poilievre.
Before threat of tariffs, conservatives enjoyed a lead of 20 points on some electoral polls. Now the surveys indicate a much closer race.
When the Canadians go to the polls next, liberals will face not only conservatives – who are official opposition from 120 places in the House of Municipality – but also Bloc Quebecois, who have 33 seats, and a new Democrat (NDP), which are 24 years old.
