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.

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.
