Prime Minister Mark Carney is expected to dissolve Parliament on Sunday, commencing a shortened federal election campaign ending April 28, the final day for voting. This decision arrives amid favorable polling for the Liberal Party, which leads slightly over the Conservatives. Campaign timelines in Canada mandate elections last between 37 to 51 days, and key policy ideas are already surfacing from parties. Carney aims for increased provincial cooperation by promoting free trade, aiming for a plan by Canada Day.
According to CBC's Poll Tracker, the Liberals under Carney are leading with 37.8 per cent, compared with Pierre Poilievre's Conservatives, who stand just below that, at 37.2 per cent support.
Carney is making the call against a backdrop of public opinion polls that have placed the Liberal Party just out front in the coming contest.
The prime minister said the goal is to have 'free trade by Canada Day,' highlighting the government's intention to remove barriers to free movement between provinces.
Prime Minister Mark Carney stated the government needs a strong and clear mandate, an indication of his intent heading into the upcoming federal election.
