Toronto – New Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and his conservative opponent began their election campaigns on Sunday against the backdrop of the trade war and the threats of annexation from US President Trump.
Carney announced that there will be a five -week electoral campaign before voting on April 28.
The ruling liberals appeared ready to defeat historical elections this year until Trump announced a trade war. Trump has repeatedly said that Canada should become the 51st American state and admitted on Friday that he had raised Canadian policy.
Trump’s daily attacks on Canada’s sovereignty angered Canadians and led to an increase in Canadian nationalism that strengthened liberal reconnaissance numbers.
“President Trump claims that Canada is not a real country. He wants to break us so that America can take us. We will not let that happen,” Carney said.
The ruling liberals appeared ready to defeat historical elections this year until Justin Trudeau announced his resignation in January and Trump announced the trade war. Carney said that the government in the time of the crisis needs a strong and clear mandate.
He said on social media overnight: “The next elections will be one of the most elections in our lives.”
The election campaign will continue for 343 seats or provinces in the House of Commons 37 days. While the other parties work, the liberals and conservatives are the only two who have an opportunity to form a government. The party that leads the majority in Parliament, either alone or with the support of another party, will form the next government and its leader will be the Prime Minister.
Carney replaced Trudeau, who announced his resignation in January but remained in power until the liberal party chose a new leader on March 9 after a leading race by the ruling party.
The opposition governors were hoping to hold elections about Trudeau, whose popularity decreased with high food and housing prices and immigration increased. But after decades of bilateral stability, the vote is now expected to focus on who is the best prepared to deal with Trump.
Trump put a 25 % tariff on steel and aluminum in Canada and threatens the overwhelming customs tariffs on all Canadian products – as well as all trade partners in America – on April 2.
Pierre Polverf, Conservative leader, is the main Carney competitor. The party and the party and Poilievre were heading to a great victory in the federal elections in Canada this year until Trump’s threats and related to nearly daily came out.
Poilviri said he would stand in Trump but Daniel Smith, Prime Minister of Alberta, a conservative ally, in an interview, will be a “Polievry” will be “largely simultaneously” with “the new trend in America”.
“I will insist that the president is aware of the independence and sovereignty of Canada. I will insist that he stops the tariff of our nation,” said Bouleviri, who is launching his campaign.
Poilievre said he does not respect the “treatment he has achieved for our country.”
“I know that many people feel anxious, angry and anxious. For a good reason as a result of the president’s unacceptable threats against our country,” he said.
“You are concerned about your work and the sovereignty of our nation. You are angry at the feeling of betrayal that these unacceptable words and definitions made us all experience. I share your anger and share concern about our future.”
Carney still does not receive a phone call with Trump and this may not happen now until after the elections. Trump Trump mocked Trudeau by calling him the ruling, but he has not yet mentioned the name Carney.
Carney, 60, was the head of Canada Bank during the 2008 financial crisis. In 2013, he became the first non -citizen of the United Kingdom to run the Bank of England – helping to manage the effect of Britain’s exit from the European Union.
Poilievre, 45 years old, for years, the party’s attack dog, is a professional and popular politician Firerand says he will put “Canada first”. He pledges to remove the public broadcaster in Canada and will not allow the media on his buses and aircraft in his campaign.
