A new political change is emerging in Canada, in which Prime Minister Mark Carney has expressed the possibility of announcing sudden mid-term elections. This announcement can be made on Sunday and voting for this is expected to take place on April 28. Not only this, PM Mark Carney himself will contest the election and he will try to become an MP from the Napean district of the Ottawa region.
What is the reason for electing Carney?
Mark Carney was recently sworn in as Prime Minister, he was elected as the new Prime Minister of Canada on March 14. He has replaced former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who announced his resignation in January. After Justin Trudeau’s resignation, there was a doubt in the Liberal Party that the party might lose the election this time.
However, the election equations have changed after US President Donald Trump declared “economic war” against Canada. Trump announced a 25 percent duty on Canadian steel and aluminum and threatened to annex Canada as a US state. This has changed the political scenario in Canada and it is now believed that the Liberal Party may benefit in the elections.
Why is Carney suddenly announcing elections?
Mark Carney believes that if elections are held immediately, the party can benefit. If the elections are announced early, it will get a boost in the context of Trump’s “economic war”, which will strengthen Canada politically. In such a situation, Prime Minister Carney has intensified his election campaign and has himself decided to contest the election from the Napean district.
How many seats will be voted for in the Canadian elections?
Elections will be held for 343 seats of the House of Commons of Canada. The duration of this election campaign will be 37 days, in which political parties will get an opportunity to promote their issues. Trump’s trade war has increased the atmosphere of anger and discontent among the citizens of Canada, which the Liberal Party can benefit from.
Will Justin Trudeau become the Prime Minister again this time?
In the context of mid-term elections, the question is also being raised whether Justin Trudeau will get the opportunity to become the Prime Minister again or not. However, no one has made any concrete claim about this. It will be decided on the basis of the election results whether the former Prime Minister will get a chance to lead again or not.
The power crisis in Canada and the effect of Trump
The power struggle and the effect of international politics are clearly visible in Canada. After Trump declared a trade war against Canada, the political environment has completely changed. This can strengthen the Liberal Party led by Carney in the elections, as this issue has become a topic of discussion among Canadian voters.
Mark Carney’s decision to call for an election early in his term proves that he is fully prepared for power. Apart from this, this move also shows that he is serious about the future of Canada and he has to gather support for his party in time.
Will Carney’s election strategy succeed?
Now it will be interesting to see whether Mark Carney’s election strategy will succeed. Will he be able to get the people of Canada on his side in the context of Trump’s trade war? Will he be able to achieve another election victory for his party? All these questions will find their answers in the upcoming elections.
