Federal elections are going to be held in Canada on 28 April. The Liberal Party led by Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney was leading in the current referendum surveys. The PM has called upon the voters to give him a strong mandate to deal with the tariff threat of US President Donald Trump. The equation changed with the resignation of PM Trudeau on 12 February. Carney got a chance to take over the Liberal Party and the country’s reins. He is a former central banker who has no political experience. However, the way he took the front between Trump’s tariff war, the Liberal party, which was lagging behind by 26 points, gained 6 points. Carney has said that Canada will have to reduce its dependence on America and improve its economy completely.
