Ottawa –
Canada’s new prime minister, Mark Carney, is expected to announce snap elections Sunday, seeking a stronger mandate as his country fights off a trade war and annexation threats from Donald Trump’s United States.
The former central banker was chosen by the centrist Liberal Party to replace Justin Trudeau as prime minister, but he has never faced the broader Canadian electorate.
That will change on April 28, if, as expected, Carney announces he is bringing parliamentary elections forward several months from October.
