Canadian Elections Start As Soon As Possible Says, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

The 49-year-old liberal leader said, "Canadians must decide how to end the war against Covid-19." Canadians will vote on September 20, about two years earlier. On Sunday, Mr. Trudeau visited the Governor-General of Canada, Mary Simon - deputy to the Queen, Canada's head of state - and asked him to dissolve Parliament.

The centrist liberal leader said parliamentary elections were needed so voters could vote at a "crucial moment" on the way forward. In October 2019, voters gave him a minority, meaning he had to rely on the opposition party to advance his agenda. Opposition parties have criticized the Liberals for calling for a five-week election campaign for "political gain" during the recent pandemic.

"Politically, I don't know if there was a better time for this administration," said David Coleto, CEO of Abacus Data. "The public is in a good mood right now."

According to the survey, about 46% of Canadians in their latest poll said they believe the country is moving in the right direction - the highest level in about five years. The global coronavirus pandemic is sure to dominate the campaign as it is a big part of Trudeau's second term. More than 25,000 Canadians have died from Covid, but the country has done better than others like the US.

Border closures have been slow. In addition, the military had to be sent to several nursing homes to contain the outbreak. The initial adoption of the vaccine has been slow, with Trudeau answering questions about the lack of domestic vaccine production.

The government is rapidly cutting costs to ease the pandemic, despite having record levels of debt. Is the Toronto blockade one of the longest in the world? As the country opens a new wave of pandemics, life seems to be slowly returning to normal for now.

The falls remained below the height of last winter. Vaccine deliveries have accelerated, and Canada now has one of the highest vaccine rates in the world. The economy is showing signs of recovery, and the provinces are cautiously opening up.

"This crisis is in some ways positive for [Mr. Trudeau], politically," said Drew Fagan, professor in the Munch School of Global Affairs and Public Policy at the University of Toronto. But he said the question was whether there was "sufficient momentum" to "move him from a fairly solid minority government to a thin majority government."

Canada has laws set about election dates, and the next ballot is scheduled for October 2023. But minority governments, which are not uncommon in this country, usually last about two years. They can be defeated if they lose a vote of confidence in the House of Commons. 

Or, as was the case on Sunday, a prime minister could ask the governor-general to dissolve Parliament - an application that is rarely denied formally. In 2019, months of political scandal, a problematic first term, and an uneven campaign that saw old photos of him black-faced undermine the prime minister's popularity. As a result, the Liberals won 157 seats, 13 just below the House of Commons' majority of 338 seats - and she lost the referendum. It was also a sharp turnaround since 2015 when he served as a freshman politician and led his party to a tough 184-seat victory.
