Canada’s new Prime Minister Mark Carney has called for a national election on 28 April.
The main contenders of the election are Carney, leader of the Liberal party, and Pierre Poilievre, leader of the Conservative party.
With Canada’s businesses reeling from a trade dispute with the US, Carney – a former two-time central banker – is expected to pitch himself as the candidate best equipped to take on Donald Trump.
The BBC’s Nadine Yusif explains the Canadian election process.
