Canada PM Justin Trudeau is planning to call for a snap election in September, two years ahead of schedule
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau speaks during a news conference at Rideau Cottage June 25, 2021 in Ottawa, Canada.
He and opposition leaders have been crisscrossing the country in recent weeks making election-style announcements as talk of a possible fall ballot has heated up. Opposition leaders have pushed back on the move, with one urging Governor General Mary Simon to rebuff Trudeau, informing her in a letter that his party was prepared to continue propping up the minority Liberal government to pass key legislation until the pandemic ends.
O'Toole has been at odds with his rank-and-file over policy proposals such as curbing climate change, but on Thursday he tweeted that his party "is ready" to fight an election. "The Liberals have a decent lead. Covid isn't yet to the same degree that it could in a fourth wave, his main opposition in the Conservatives, Mr. O'Toole, hasn't found his footing, and he probably wants to get this done before kids are back in school for more than two weeks and potential outbreaks happen," Powers told AFP.
