Prime Minister Mark Carney is expected to call a snap federal election on Sunday, with voting likely set for April 28 or May 5. Carney, who became prime minister on March 14 after winning the Liberal leadership, avoids facing a confidence vote in Parliament by calling the election before its scheduled return.
A recent poll by Nanos Research shows a tight race between the Conservatives (35%) and Liberals (34%), with U.S. President Donald Trump’s trade policies emerging as the top voter concern. Carney, who currently lacks a seat in the House of Commons, is set to make an announcement on affordable housing in Edmonton later today.
