In an attempt to secure a strong mandate to confront the economic danger posed by the 'unjustified' tariffs declared by US President donald trump, Mark Carney, the Canadian prime minister who took over from Justin Trudeau earlier this month, called a snap election for april 28 on Sunday. According to Carney, Canadians should have a say in who should lead the nation during such crucial times and that canada must deal with Trump's tariffs.
 
 Just as trump started threatening to impose tariffs on canada and Carney's predecessor, Trudeau, resigned, Carney, 60, was hoping to capitalize on his extraordinary support that had helped him become the leader of the Liberal party and, eventually, the prime minister. canada was scheduled to hold a general election on october 20.
"We are facing the most significant crisis of our lifetimes because of President Trump's unjustified trade actions and his threats to our sovereignty," Carney, a former central banker, was quoted as saying by news agency Reuters.

"There is so much more to do to secure Canada. To invest in canada, to build canada, to unite Canada. That's why I'm asking for a strong positive mandate from my fellow Canadians. I've just requested that the governor General dissolve parliament and call an election for april 28, and she has agreed," he said in a news conference after his request for general elections was approved.
