  • Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has called an early election for April 28, setting the stage for a fierce battle between his Liberal Party and the Conservative Party led by Pierre Poilievre.

The article from MSN discusses how Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has called for a snap election amidst escalating tensions with the United States over trade issues and sovereignty. This decision comes in the wake of former U.S. President Donald Trump's aggressive trade policies, which have included imposing tariffs on Canadian goods, leading to retaliatory measures from Canada. Additionally, Trump's comments questioning Canada's sovereignty have further strained relations. Trudeau's call for an early election is seen as a strategic move to seek a fresh mandate from Canadians to navigate these challenging international waters, strengthen his position in negotiations, and possibly secure a stronger parliamentary majority to implement his policies more effectively. The election is also viewed as an opportunity for Trudeau to address domestic issues like economic recovery and climate change, while countering the opposition's criticisms regarding his handling of the U.S.-Canada relationship.
