Description

CBC's Rosemary Barton and Radio-Canada's Louis Blouin report that — according to sources — Prime Minister Mark Carney will ask the Governor General to dissolve Parliament Sunday, and Canadians will vote in a federal election on either April 28 or May 5. The Toronto Star's Robert Benzie discusses his report that Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre called Premier Doug Ford to ask for his help in the upcoming election, but Ford said he was too busy. Plus, former Privy Council clerk Michael Wernick explains how a caretaker government can and can't respond to additional U.S. tariffs if they're implemented on April 2.
