Canada may soon face an election call, with Mark Carney expected to announce the election before Parliament resumes on March 24. Reports suggest that Carney could make a general election announcement on Wednesday and convene a meeting of premiers later this week.
If the Liberals were to lose in a potential snap election, Carney could become Canada's shortest-serving prime minister. Currently, the record for the shortest tenure is held by former Prime Minister Charles Tupper, who served for only 69 days in 1896.
If an early election is called, it is expected that Canadians could vote in late April or early May, meaning Carney could serve as Prime Minister for just 46 to 52 days before the vote.
Speculation regarding an early election has grown amid recent polls showing a rise in support for the Liberal Party.
