Canada’s new Prime Minister Mark Carney has dissolved parliament and announced an early election on April 28, citing threats from U.S. President Donald Trump. Carney accused Trump of undermining Canada’s sovereignty with aggressive trade policies and high tariffs. The Liberals, who gained popularity following Trudeau’s resignation, are now in a close race with the Conservatives. Trump’s comments about making Canada the “51st state” have fueled nationalistic sentiments. Polls show Carney as the strongest leader to counter Trump’s economic pressure.
