Canada’s Prime Minister Announced Election on April 28

Prime Minister Mark Carney has announced a snap election set for April 28, launching a five-week campaign that will shape Canada’s political future. The decision comes amid escalating tensions with U.S. President Donald Trump, who has imposed trade tariffs and made controversial remarks about Canada’s sovereignty.

Carney, who recently succeeded Justin Trudeau as leader of the Liberal Party, emphasized the need for a strong mandate during this critical period. His main opponent, Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre, has also vowed to defend Canada’s interests but faces internal divisions over Trump’s policies.

The election will determine control of Canada’s 343-seat Parliament, with the Liberals and Conservatives as the leading contenders. Economic stability, U.S.-Canada relations, and national sovereignty are expected to dominate the campaign, as voters prepare for a high-stakes decision in the coming weeks.
