OTTAWA — The leaders vying to become Canada’s next prime minister are officially kicking off their campaigns today, vowing to strengthen Canada’s economy and stand up to U.S. President Donald Trump.
Liberal Leader Mark Carney has confirmed a federal election will be called on April 28, speaking outside Rideau Hall after requesting Parliament be dissolved.
He says he has experience solving problems instead of pointing them out, and says an election is necessary to have a strong response to American economic threats.
Conservative Party Leader Pierre Poilievre says he plans to restore the promise of Canada and tackle affordability issues that he blames on elites.
