Summary
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney will call an early general election for April 28 and run for office in Ottawa’s Nepean riding.
Carney, who succeeded Justin Trudeau in March, seeks a clear mandate amid rising tensions with the U.S. sparked by Donald Trump’s trade war threats and calls for Canada to become the 51st state.
The opposition Conservatives, led by Pierre Poilievre, had expected an easy victory until Trump’s attacks fueled a surge in nationalism, boosting Liberal support.
The election will decide 343 House of Commons seats.
Remember when Trump said that Trudeau was going to use the tariff crisis to cling to power and not have an election this year… Long after Trudeau had already announced that he was going to step down as soon as a replacement is chosen?
That was not even a month ago.
These 3 months have been the longest three years of my life
Donold has mushbrains.
It’s a full time job keeping track of all of Trump’s lies.
And not one that is good for the 'ol mental health.
