OTTAWA/OXFORD - It looks like Canadians could be heading to the polls a month from now.
There are reports that Prime Minister Mark Carney will call a federal election on Sunday March 23rd. The sources with the information have not been able to confirm a specific date for the election itself, federal elections have to run for at least five weeks. This means Canadians could be heading to the polls as early as April 28th.
During his resignation announcement on January 6th, former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau prorogued Parliament until March 24th. Mark Carney officially replaced him as the head of the Liberal Party after the leadership vote on March 9th, and he was sworn in as Canada's 24th Prime Minister on March 14th.
