Liberal Leader Mark Carney has triggered a federal election for April 28, after asking Governor General Mary Simon to dissolve Parliament. In a statement, Carney emphasized the need for a “strong, positive mandate” from Canadians as the country faces challenges in the wake of trade disputes with the U.S. He condemned President Trump’s actions, stating that Canada will not allow its sovereignty to be threatened or compromised.
Carney also addressed the issue of immigration, noting a post-pandemic influx of people to Canada. He acknowledged shortcomings in housing and education for newcomers, leading to the implementation of caps on immigration. The Liberal Leader emphasized the need to expand housing options before lifting these restrictions.
This announcement comes amidst growing tension between Canada and the U.S., with trade disputes and sovereignty concerns at the forefront. Carney’s call for a strong mandate reflects his commitment to building a resilient economy and ensuring the security of Canada in the face of external pressures.
