Prime Minister Mark Carney is expected to ask Governor General Mary Simon to dissolve Parliament and call a federal election soon after his cabinet's appointment. The decision comes as public opinion polls show the Liberal Party slightly ahead at 37.7%, with the Conservatives trailing closely at 37.4%. While the election campaign is projected to last from 36 to 50 days, voting could occur on April 28 or May 5. The Liberals have an advantage given their more dispersed voter base, potentially allowing them to win more seats in Parliament.
