    Breaking news from Canada as Liberal Leader Mark Carney calls for a snap federal election, setting the stage for a high-stakes campaign. On March 24, 2025, Carney announced the dissolution of parliament and set the election date for April 28, kicking off a 37-day campaign period. The former Bank of England governor, who recently took the reins of the Liberal Party, is positioning himself as the strongest leader to stand up against Donald Trump and his perceived threats to Canada.

    Carney wasted no time hitting the campaign trail, starting with a rally in St. John's, Newfoundland on March 23. Speaking to a crowd of about 500 supporters, he unveiled a middle-class tax break promising to put $825 more annually into the pockets of Canadians earning around $57,000. He also pledged to remove interprovincial trade barriers and develop oil and clean energy projects.

    The Liberal leader's campaign strategy seems focused on portraying himself as a defender of Canadian interests against external pressures. His rallying cry, "Donald Trump wants to break us so America can own us," resonated strongly with the crowd in St. John's. Carney is emphasizing his economic expertise and positioning himself as the candidate best equipped to navigate Canada through potential trade conflicts with the United States.

    In international news, Carney met with the British Prime Minister at 10 Downing Street on March 17, his first international engagement as Prime Minister. They discussed strengthening UK-Canadian ties, the situation in Ukraine, and Canada's upcoming G7 Presidency.

    The election call comes just days after Carney was sworn in as Prime Minister, following Justin Trudeau's resignation. With five Liberal incumbents in Newfoundland and Labrador deciding not to run, every riding in the province has become a battleground.

    As the campaign unfolds, Carney faces stiff competition from Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre, who launched his campaign in Gatineau, Quebec. The NDP, Bloc Québécois, and Green Party are also gearing up for what promises to be a crucial and closely watched election.

    With the shortest allowed campaign period under election rules, Canadians are bracing for an intense five weeks as party leaders crisscross the country, selling their visions for Canada's future. The outcome of this election could significantly shape Canada's domestic and foreign policy in the years to come.
