Justin Trudeau today called early elections in Canada on September 20, as many international media had previously announced.
Trento made the announcement after a meeting with Governor-General Mary Simon, during which he asked Queen Elizabeth II’s representative in the country to dissolve the House of Commons.
The Canadian Prime Minister has repeatedly protested in recent times about the obstacles raised by opposition parties in parliament to government work.
To become the leader of a majority government, his party, which currently has 155 members, will need to occupy 170 of the 338 seats in the House of Commons.
