Carney to Request Dissolution of Parliament, Election Expected


Prime Minister Mark Carney is set to visit Governor General Mary Simon this Sunday to request the dissolution of Parliament, paving the way for a federal election. This move comes just a week after Carney's swearing-in as Prime Minister and the appointment of his cabinet.

The election campaign is anticipated to last between 36 and 50 days, with voting day likely to fall on either April 28 or May 5. Recent polls suggest a tight race, with Carney's Liberal Party holding a slight edge over Pierre Poilievre's Conservatives.

This election call comes at a critical juncture, as party leaders prepare to solidify support in key battleground provinces like Ontario, Quebec, and British Columbia. The outcome could shape Canada's political landscape for years to come.
