Prime Minister Mark Carney announced on Sunday that the national elections would take place on April 28, as Canada faced the “most significant crisis in our life” caused by US President Donald Trump.
Carney called the poll two weeks after Justin TruDeau replaced the head of the Liberal Party of Canada and two months since he entered the lead.
CarneyFormer Central Bank of Bank of Canada and Central Bank of England, former governor of the Central Bank of Bank of Canada, advocated a “reduction in the middle class tax”, a national dental plan and invited Unity at the time of the crisis.
“I’m looking for your voice, so we can be strong Canada,” he said.
The election campaign will become Carney, a 60-year-old unimiled leader with experience on Wall Street, against the Conservative Party leader Pierre PoilievreA 45-year-old career politician.
“He (Trump) wants to break us so America could own us. We won’t let that happen,” Carney said.
The popularity of the Liberal Party has increased in response to Trump’s threats with annexation and criminal tariffs.
Poilievre launched his campaign in Ottawa on Sunday and said that Canada could not afford for another four years with the Liberal Party.
“It’s time to put Canada first for a change,” he said.
“The new conservative government that will convert taxes, build homes, reduce waste, lock criminals, secure their boundaries and release our resources to bring our jobs to home and put Trump from the power position.”
Conservatives were on their way to easily winning the next general election, as a wide dissatisfaction with the cost of living and accessibility of the living space undermined the support of liberals after Trudeau’s almost decades in power.
Poilievre enjoyed a pleasant lead of 20 points at the polling station until Trudeau resigned in early January and Trump’s inauguration of the same month.
Trump’s hostility and tariff threats united Canadians against a new common enemy, USA, which led to an extraordinary reversal of liberals support.
Earlier this month, Prime Minister Albert Danielle Smith told Breitbart News that she had invited the White House to “pause” the tariffs expected to hit Canada on April 2 to help Poilievre and the election chance of the conservative party.
Poilievre tried to distance himself from Trump and the supporter of Maga -e supported by a Canadian Conservative.
“First of all, I said I wanted the opposite of Donald Trump,” Poilievre said on Sunday.
Andrew ENNS of the Leger Market Research Company said the election will collapse about who the voters think they are best managed by economics and who can handle Trump.
“Carney must have had an initial advantage, and the Government has been a reaction to Trump’s challenges,” he said.
“But the elections are given the opportunity to make Poilievre its case the construction of a stronger Canadian economy, stronger than what Liberal could have in his nine years in power,” Enns said.
Last week, Legera’s poll reported that 42 percent of Canadians would vote for the liberal party led by Mark Carney, while 39 percent would vote for the conservative party. It was the first time the liberals had taken over the lead and an increase of 5 points a week.
However, on Sunday, the ABACUS data survey showed that conservatives held a close leadership at the national level, and the liberals closed in the amount of 36 percent. The National Democratic Party – a key ally for the Government Trudeau – laged to 12 percent.
On Saturday, the Liberal Party announced that Carney, who was not elected as a member of the Parliament, would run for Nepean’s constituencies, in the southwest Ottawa.
“These are perhaps the first elections in which the opposition leader is better known than the Prime Minister,” said David Coletto, Executive Director of Abacus data, regarding Carney’s recent entry into the political arena.
