Canada's Carney calls snap election
China DailyUpdated: 2025-03-25 09:25 Canadians gather in Nathan Phillips Square to protest US President Donald Trump's statement on Canada becoming the 51st state, at Toronto City Hall on Saturday. STEVE RUSSELL/GETTY IMAGES OTTAWA — New Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has called a snap election for April 28, saying he needs a strong mandate to deal with the threat posed by US President Donald Trump, who "wants to break us so America can own us". "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 told reporters after the Governor General — the personal representative of King Charles, Canada's head of state — approved his request for an election. Carney, a former two-time central banker with no previous political or election campaign experience, captured the Liberal leadership two weeks ago by persuading party members that he was the best person to tackle Trump.
