Prime Minister Mark Carney will ask the Governor General to dissolve Parliament and call a federal election this Sunday, Radio-Canada has learned.
The election campaign will kick off barely a week after Carney was sworn in as prime minister and appointed his cabinet.
Carney's trip to Rideau Hall to speak to Gov. Gen. Mary Simon will come a day before MPs were scheduled to return after Parliament was prorogued on Jan. 6.
An election campaign is expected to last between 36 and 50 days. Election day remains to be confirmed, but voters are expected to cast their ballots on either April 28 or May 5, according to sources that spoke with Radio-Canada.

I think it's a good move to do this while he's rising still. We need a leader like Carney who can stand up to Trump. If all hell breaks loose PP is the last one we want in charge.
- While Carney's leadership qualities might seem appealing, his "open" stance on electoral reform is suspicious for an economist who should understand the mathematics.
  A truly forward-thinking approach would recognize that strengthening our democratic foundations through proportional representation would better protect Canada from external threats than any individual leadership style.
  
  I mean. He's appealing to me as I outright fear what PP will do to this country right now. That's the big appeal. Im sure I don't agree with Carney or any political leader on much. I still vote though, and do what I can to engage in the process. Every chance I've had I vote and campaign for electoral reform and more fair voting.

Now is the time to be getting information from Canadian Owned and Operated media.
There will be disinformation campaigns unlike any other election.
Remember, only Green🟢/NDP🟧 consistently support proportional representation!
