Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, who took office on March 14 Following Justin Trudeau's resignation, Carney has decided to bring forward the elections by six months, to April 28. Carney wants to take advantage of the favorable polls. The Canadian public broadcaster, CBC, gives his Liberal Party (PL) a 37.5% voter turnout, which would give it 174 of the 338 seats in the House of Commons. If he succeeds, it would be the party's fourth consecutive victory.
