Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney is expected to call a federal election as early as April 28, with an announcement anticipated on Sunday. In the lead-up, Carney is meeting with Alberta Premier Danielle Smith in Edmonton to discuss affordable housing. He is also set to meet with the advisory council on Canada-U.S. relations amid ongoing trade tensions. Speculation is growing about whether Carney will seek a parliamentary seat in Alberta, though local sources remain skeptical. The Liberals have seen a rare polling boost in Western Canada, adding intrigue to Carney’s potential electoral strategy.

Carney calling an election now makes sense—he’s got momentum, and the Tories are stuck pushing the same tired austerity playbook. Meeting with Smith on housing is a smart move too, even if we know she’ll resist anything that actually helps renters.
