Ottawa: Canada is set to hold its next federal election on April 28, according to sources familiar with the matter. While an official announcement is yet to be made, political parties are already gearing up for what is expected to be a highly competitive race.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his Liberal Party will face mounting challenges as they seek another term, with opposition parties, including the Conservatives and the New Democrats (NDP), intensifying their campaigns. Economic concerns, healthcare reforms, and climate policies are expected to dominate the electoral discourse.
The Conservatives, led by Pierre Poilievre, have been vocal about rising inflation and affordability issues, while the NDP, under Jagmeet Singh, is pushing for stronger social welfare measures.
With growing public sentiment on issues like housing affordability and the cost of living, political analysts predict a closely contested election. Voter turnout and regional dynamics will likely play a crucial role in determining the outcome.
Elections Canada is expected to formally announce the date in the coming days, triggering the official campaign period. Meanwhile, parties are expected to ramp up their outreach efforts to connect with voters across the country.
