Canada’s new Prime Minister, Mark Carney on Sunday called early elections for April 28, pledging to defeat Donald Trump’s drive to annex the United States’s huge northern neighbour.

Carney was chosen by Canada’s centrist Liberal Party to replace Justin Trudeau as prime minister, but he has never faced the country’s broader electorate, according to local and international media.

“I’ve just requested that the governor general dissolve parliament and call an election for April 28. She has agreed,” Carney said in a speech to the nation, referring to King Charles III’s representative in Canada, a member of the British Commonwealth.

On his X social media post on Sunday, Carney stated that; “We need to build the strongest economy in the G7. We need to deal with President Trump’s tariffs.”

Earlier in the month, Trump ordered the enforcement of his imposed 25 percent tariffs on Canada and Mexico goods or products, shifting relations between the three neighboring countries.

“We are facing the most significant crisis of our lifetimes because of President Trump’s unjustified trade actions and his threats to our sovereignty,” Carney said, speaking to outlets in Ottawa.

“President Trump claims that Canada isn’t a real country. He wants to break us so America can own us,” Carney said. “We will not let that happen. We’re over the shock of the betrayal, but we should never forget the lessons.”

Trump has repeatedly claimed that Canada should join the US as the 51st state, a move that Canadian officials refuse and call outlandish.

It was expected for Carney to call for a quick election, as he doesn’t have a seat in parliament and the Liberals don’t have a majority, according to The New York Times as Carney will face off against the Conservative party and Pierre Poilievre.

In power for a decade, the Liberal government had slid into deep unpopularity, but Carney will be hoping to ride a wave of Canadian patriotism to a new majority.

“I’m asking Canadians for a strong, positive mandate to deal with President Trump,” Carney said, adding that the Republican “wants to break us, so America can own us. We will not let that happen.”

“Our response must be to build a strong economy and a more secure Canada,” he added, pledging not to meet Trump until the US leader recognizes Canadian sovereignty.

Trump has apparently undermined his northern neighbor by repeatedly dismissing its borders as artificial, and urging it to join the United States as the 51st state.

The ominous remarks have been accompanied by Trump’s swirling trade war, with the imposition of tariffs on imports from Canada, which could severely damage its economy.

Trudeau, who had been in power since 2015, was deeply unpopular when he announced he was stepping down, with Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives seen as election favorites just weeks ago.

Local Observers had said that the polls have narrowed spectacularly in Carney’s favor since he took over the Liberals, who only hold a minority in parliament, and analysts are now calling the race too close to call.

“Many consider this to be an existential election, unprecedented,” Felix Mathieu, a political scientist at the University of Winnipeg, told AFP as reported.

“It is impossible at this stage to make predictions, but this will be a closely watched election with a voter turnout that should be on the rise.”

Poilievre, 45, is a career politician, first elected when he was only 25. A veteran tough-talking campaigner, he has sometimes been tagged as a libertarian and a populist.

On Sunday, Poilievre — seen by some as too similar to Trump in style and substance — set the tone as reported by AFP.

“I want the opposite of what Donald Trump wants,” the Conservative leader said, promising to base his campaign on bread-and-butter economic issues and the worries of “regular people.”

Carney, 60, has spent his career outside of electoral politics. He spent more than a decade at Goldman Sachs and went on to lead Canada’s central bank, and then the Bank of England.

As for the US leader, he professes not to care, while pushing ahead with plans to further strengthen tariffs against Canada and other major trading partners on April 2.

“I don’t care who wins up there,” Trump said this week.

“But just a little while ago, before I got involved and totally changed the election, which I don’t care about […] the Conservative was leading by 35 points.”

Mark Carney, during his inauguration as the Canadian PM earlier this month, said: “Today, we’re building a government that meets the moment. Canadians expect action — and that’s what this team will deliver. A smaller, experienced cabinet that moves faster, secures our economy, and protects Canada’s future.

Trudeau had announced his resignation in January as polls showed his Liberal Party would likely face defeat in an upcoming election. But the party’s fortunes have since improved amid growing Canadian antipathy toward Trump and his policies.

In a farewell message posted on X earlier this month, Trudeau said: “Thank you, Canada – for trusting in me, for challenging me, and for granting me the privilege to serve the best country, and the best people, on earth.”

The Liberals have been courting Carney for more than a decade, and he advised Trudeau on Canada’s economic recovery from Covid-19.

But the banker-turned-politician did not make his official entrance until Trudeau announced his resignation in January. All of his competitors were sitting politicians: Carney is in the unusual situation to become Canada’s prime minister without holding a seat in parliament.
