Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, betting that his standing has been improved by his government’s response to the coronavirus pandemic while his main opponent has failed to gain traction with voters, on Sunday called a snap federal election for Sept. 20 in a bid to regain a majority in the House of Commons.
Trudeau, first elected prime minister in 2015, has led the country since October 2019 with a minority government. Winning a majority would mean he would no longer need to rely on opposition parties to advance his agenda and stay in power.
The next fixed election date was in October 2023, but a prime minister here may at any time request the governor general dissolve Parliament — the step that triggers an election. Trudeau, 49, met Governor General Mary Simon, Queen Elizabeth II’s representative in Canada, on Sunday, and she granted his request.

Is this the part where he turns his admiration for the CCP and China’s dictatorship into reality?
Must be really important to move this thing up a month and half….
Well. Here’s hoping the Canadians don’t question anything.

2023....it's moving it up over a year in advance....something has him scared that he appears to see coming his way. Sounds an awful lot like he may think this will be the last election for Canada.

I hear in America in 2021 asking questions about our democracy and elections is grounds for political execution.

The truth is there aren’t any good candidates they are all the same thing basically.
It has the feeling of an all or nothing scenario but even if he loses who ever takes his place is more of the same.
I don’t think anyone wants more of the same in terms of Canadian government.

Perhaps the same is happening here? What better time when the Liberals are in such a strong position right now?

“Canadians need to choose how we finish the fight against covid-19 and build back better,
