Mark Carne invites the sudden elections in Canada amid Trump’s threats

On Sunday, Prime Minister Mark Carney from Canada called on federal elections on April 28, reinforcing the calendar is another major event as the country faces one of its most turbulent and unexpected periods.

President Trump imposed a painful tariff on Canada and said more coming, while also threatening his sovereignty, as he turned into the closest ally and commercial partner in America and contracts of close cooperation in every field.

“We are facing the most important crisis in our lives due to the unjustified business of President Trump and his threats to our sovereignty,” said Mr. Carney. Talk to the media in Ottawa.

He added: “President Trump claims that Canada is not a real country. He wants to break us so that America can possess us.” “We will not let that happen. We are shocking treason, but we should never forget the lessons.”

Mr. Carney, 60, a political beginner with a long profession in banking and central finance, was elected only as the leader of the Canadian Liberal Party on March 9, and the oath as prime minister on March 14. Justin Trudeau, who led the liberals for nearly 13 years and the country, was almost uninterrupted.

Mr. Carney was widely expected to call for quick elections. He does not have a seat in the Canadian parliament, and the liberals do not get a majority, which means that their government is likely to fall into a vote of distrust early on Monday has not requested the elections.

The main opponents of the liberals are the conservatives, led by Pierre Boelifer.

Mr. Trump’s aggressive position towards Canada was a blessing for the liberals and Mr. Carney. Before Mr. Trump took office, the conservatives were applying for dual opinion polls and it appears that the victory of Mr. Poilievre has ended.

But voters grew up that Mr. Poilievre is very ideologically similar to Mr. Trump to stand with him, and many tend to experience the economy of Mr. Carney and his career on the international stage.

Opinion polls show that Mr. Carney and the liberals have canceled 25 percent progress, which are maintained by the conservatives, and the two entered the election period and the neck.

Speaking before Mr. Carney called the elections on Sunday morning, Mr. Poilievre tried to distance himself from the perception that he was in line with Mr. Trump.

“What we have to do is to put Canada first for change,” said Mr. Poilviri. “When I say I want to reduce taxes, unleash our resources, and return jobs, this is bad news for President Trump.”

Who runs?

Mr. Carney and the liberals will retract the conservatives and Mr. Bouleever, 45, a professional politician who made his name as an aggressive discourse that is not afraid of adopting some of Mr. Trump’s style.

Mr. Poilievre is a main governor, and has long supported the abolition of restrictions, tax discounts, and the abandonment of environmental policies dating back to the Trudeau era in order to enable Canada to increase the exploitation of its vast natural resources, mostly oil and gas.

Mr. Poilievre has also been merchants in the topics of cultural war and the borrowing of language from Mr. Trump: He was attacking practices and politicians as “waking up”, and he called for the entry of the Canadian national broadcaster and said he believed that there are only two types of sexes.

He also said that he wanted to make Canada the capital of cryptocurrency in the world, indicating the same rapprochement of alternative financial assets as Mr. Trump.

On the contrary, Mr. Carney was in the eyes of the public for decades but not as political. The Governor of the Bank of Canada was during the 2008 global financial crisis, and the England Bank during Britain’s exit from the European Union.

Since then, he has been working in senior roles in the private sector, and in recent years it has become a prominent advocate of sustainable investment, with the role of a special envoy for the United Nations in climate work and financing.

In the few days that was in his position, Mr. Carney coincided with being good at the economy and rest on the world stage, but it is less dependent on the close scrutiny of his personal affairs, which is unusual for people who run for high public positions.

He showed himself to be more medium than his predecessor, Mr. Trudeau. On Sunday, Snap elections announced, Mr. Carney also pledged to tax discounts for the least income segment. In the past few days, some of the most realistic Poilievre positions have adopted, including canceling the family and small tax on carbon emissions and canceling increased taxes planned on capital gains.

The third party to the House of Commons, the Koepikois blocs, Yves Francois Blanchett is devoted to nationalism Quebec.

The fourth largest party in Canada, the new Democratic Party, led by Jaghmit Singh, to the left of the liberals. The National Democratic Party provided support to the liberal minority government in the House of Commons until September, and was able to obtain some of its basic social policies adopted in return, but opinion polls indicate weakening its support.

How can Canada elections work?

Canada has an electoral system the first river, which means that the candidates who get the largest number of votes in their victory in the provinces, regardless of whether they believe in the majority. Voters elect local members of the House of Commons, not individual party leaders as they do in a presidential system. The parties choose their leaders, who can become prime minister.

The country is divided into 343 electoral areas, known in Canada as Ridings, each one meets a seat in the House of Commons.

To form the majority government, the party needs to win 172 seats. If the party that holds most of the seats has less than 172, it can still form a minority government, but it will need to support another party to pass the legislation.

What happens after that?

In the period before the elections, Mr. Carne will remain prime minister and will technically technically the country with his government. But they will be in the position of “Caretaker”, and under Canada’s agreements, they can only focus on the necessary works, such as dealing with routine or urgent matters. They cannot make new or controversial decisions.

The parties will strike and lead the campaign’s path immediately. For Mr. Carney, this will be a decisive time because he is not an experienced activist, unlike Mr. Poilievre, who is experienced in retail policies.

Both men will travel to the vast country to try to secure support. Mr. Carney’s campaign will be open to journalists who pay their own way to travel with him on the road.

The Poilievre campaign said that it will not allow the media to join him on trips, confirming that its decision was for logistical reasons and that the news coverage had been welcomed.
