Canada's Carney calls snap election, asks for mandate to tackle Trump
New Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney on Sunday (March 23) called a snap election for April 28, saying he needed a strong mandate to deal with the threat that US President Donald Trump's tariffs pose to the economy.
Although the next election was not due until October 20, Carney is hoping to capitalize on a remarkable recovery by his Liberal party in the polls since January, when Trump began threatening Canada and former prime minister Justin Trudeau announced his resignation.
"We are facing the most significant crisis of our lifetimes because of President Trump's unjustified trade actions and his threats to our sovereignty," Carney said.
