Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has announced a general election for April 28, facing challenges including a US trade war. Previously anticipated to struggle, the Liberal Party's fortunes have shifted due to President Trump's threats against Canadian sovereignty, leading to increased nationalism. Carney seeks a strong mandate after succeeding Justin Trudeau. The election now focuses on leadership in relation to US tactics, especially after the imposition of tariffs on Canadian goods. The outcome is crucial, with 343 seats at stake and heightened voter engagement indicated.
"We needed to act because of Donald Trump's tariffs," Carney said when he made the announcement.
Carney posted on social media overnight, "The next election will be one of the most consequential in our lifetimes."
