Your guide on what the US elections of 2024 mean for Washington and Le Monde
Prime Minister Mark Carney announced on Sunday that a national election would be held on April 28 when Canada faced “the most important crisis in our lives” caused by US President Donald Trump.
Carney called for the fifteen -day survey after replacing Justin Trudeau at the head of the Canada Liberal Party and two months since he entered the leadership race.
Carney, a former Bank of Canada and governor of the Central Bank of the Bank of England, promised a “tax reduction in the middle class”, a national dental plan and called to the unit during the crisis.
“I ask for your vote, so we can be strong from Canada,” he said.
The electoral campaign will display Carney, an unleashed 60 -year -old leader, with the experience of Wall Street, against the conservative party leader Pierre Poilievre, a 45 -year -old career politician.
“He (Trump) wants to break us so that America can own us. We will not let it happen,” said Carney.
The popularity of the Liberal Party has increased in response to annexation threats and Trump punitive prices.
Hairyvre launched its campaign on Sunday in Ottawa and said that Canada could not afford four years with the Liberal Party.
“It’s time to put Canada first for a change,” he said.
“A new conservative government that will chop taxes, build houses, cut waste, lock criminals, guarantee our borders and release our resources to bring our work home and resist Trump from a position of strength.”
The conservatives had been on the right track to easily win the next general elections, because generalized dissatisfaction with the cost of living and the affordability of housing has undermined the support of the liberals after the quasi-defense of Trudeau in power.
Hairyvre had benefited from a comfortable 20 -point lead in the polls until Trudeau resigned in early January and the inauguration of Trump this same month.
Trump hostilities and tariff threats have united Canadians against a common new enemy, the United States, leading to a remarkable reversal of support for liberals.
Earlier this month, Alberta Prime Minister Danielle Smith told Breitbart News that she had urged the White House to “take a break” of the prices that should strike Canada on April 2 to help Hairyvre and the electoral chances of the Conservative Party.
Hairy was tried to distance himself from Trump and supporters of Maga who supported the Canadian curator.
“First of all, I said that I wanted the opposite of Donald Trump,” said Hairy on Sunday.
Andrew Enns of the Leger market study company said that the elections would come to just think of the economy and may be facing Trump.
“Carney certainly had the initial top, the government leading to the reaction to Trump’s challenges,” he said.
“But the elections present an opportunity for Hairy to assert its argument to build a stronger Canadian economy, stronger than what the Liberal was able in their nine years to power,” said Enns.
A Leger survey said last week that 42% of Canadians would vote for the Liberal Party led by Mark Carney, while 39% would vote for the Conservative Party. It was the first time that the Liberals have taken the lead and an increase of 5 points in a week.
However, on Sunday, Abacus Data Survey has shown that the Conservatives had maintained a close -scale national level at 39% with the liberals almost 36%. The New Democratic Party – A key ally for the Trudeau government – followed 12%.
On Saturday, the Liberal Party announced that Carney, who is not elected as a deputy, would appear for the district of Nepean, in the southwest of Ottawa.
“It can be the first election in which the opposition chief is better known than the Prime Minister,” said David Coletto, CEO of Abacus Data, with regard to Carney’s recent entry into the political arena.
