Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has announced that his country will hold a general election on April 28.
Carney, the former Bank of England chief who replaced outgoing PM Justin Trudeau just days ago, made the widely-expected announcement on Sunday afternoon UK time – and took a series of swipes at Donald Trump in the process.
He accused the US President of slapping Canada with “unjustified trade actions” through his tariffs and “threatening our sovereignty” through his claims that the former British colony was “not a real country”.
“He wants to break us so America can own us. We cannot let that happen… We’re over the shock of the betrayal, but we should never forget the lessons. We need to look after ourselves,” he vowed.
