“I've just requested that the governor general dissolve parliament and call an election for April 28. She has agreed,”he told reporters.

He said that Canada “needs to take action” to fight the US as Donald Trump threatens the nation with steep tariffs and claims to turn the country into the 51st state.

Carney called the election saying he wants a “strong, positive mandate from my fellow Canadians.”

“There is so much more to do to secure Canada,”he added.

The Prime Minister called the threat of a US trade war one of the “most significant of our lifetimes”.

“Trump want's to break us so America will own us.

“We will not let that happen.”
