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.
Trump isn’t up for election in Canada.
It honestly feels like he is. That’s the implications here. That’s the choice you’re bring asked to make. Resist Trump or kowtow.
Really?
Someone should let Danielle Smith know, because she seems unaware.
Elon is funding the campaigns of the far right everywhere he can. If you’re Nazis he’ll even talk at your convention.
Doesn’t matter. These same type of people have the same double standards about this in the US too.
