Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney is expected to ask the country’s governor general to dissolve parliament and call for federal elections on Sunday, according to two government sources.
If that happens, Canadians will likely head to the polls on April 28, both sources told CNN. Unlike the United States, Canada’s elections aren’t fixed to a specific date every four years. The country’s parliamentary system allows for the governor general, on the advice of the prime minister, to schedule elections within a fixed time period.
