Prime Minister Mark Carney is expected to plunge Canada into an election campaign on Sunday, as US President Donald Trump’s trade war sharpens the focus on fixing long-standing problems that have hindered the Canadian economy.
Carney and his chief rival, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre, each will seek to persuade Canadians he’s the best person to protect the country from Trump’s threats to use “economic force” to transform it into the 51st state.
