Trudeau seeking to move his party into a majority has called a snap election, Canadian will go to the poll Sept. 20th to vote in the upcoming federal election, Liberal are leading in the poll with a solid 35% over the Conservatives 29%
but will that be enough for the Liberal to gain a majority in the House, it seem possible the Conservative have been dealing with bad leadership and inability to push a strong platform since their leadership election.
NDP is still a distance third.
OTTAWA – Justin Trudeau has set in motion an early federal election, sending voters to the polls on Sept. 20 and setting up his re-election bid as a chance for Canadians to have their voices heard about who they want to lead the country at this pivotal moment in the pandemic.
The prime minister and Liberal leader visited Gov. Gen. Mary Simon at Rideau Hall Sunday morning where she accepted his request to dissolve the 43rd Parliament and draw up the 338 writs, triggering a summer election.
With voting day scheduled for Sept. 20, the campaign will be 36 days, the shortest possible election period under federal law.
It is not possible for a Canadian PM to call an election on one day and the election is held on the following day. There needs to be time for the issuing of writs for the ridings.
