Thanks to that tiebreaker, we might yet end up referring to the just-concluded election as 'Yukon 2021a'... Well Yukon if you want to!

If the speculation is to believed that the Prime Minister will call a general election today, the procedure is remarkably like the UK (prior to the FTPA), namely the Prime Minister drives to Rideau Hall in Ottawa and seeks an audience with the Governor General. There they formally request a dissolution of Parliament and the right to call a general election. The difference between the UK and Canada is that the Governor General is the person who makes that decision, not Her Majesty, therefore they agree, the Prime Minister leaves Rideau Hall (usually after a press conference confirming that an election has been called) and only THEN is Her Majesty informed that an election has been called. www.gg.ca/en/procedures-dissolution-parliament-and-calling-electionIf an election is called today, as Ottawa is five hours behind the United Kingdom, the most likely time is no earlier than 3.00pm our time and no later than 5.00pm our time (and yes, that does clash with the closing ceremony of the Olympics, but according to a friend of mine, that won't bother the television networks in Canada as they never screen it live anyway!)

Doesn’t he need a majority to support the election? And given that there is a COVID resurgence, wouldn’t an election backfire on him?

I expected some of the recent polling could have given Trudeau second thoughts. Hardly the Liberal dominance he might have hoped for.

Not today, the Prime Minister published his schedule and it's empty (personal time in Ottawa). However, multiple candidates (of multiple parties) have their campaign launch.

I hope they paid Warner Bros for the rights to use the film footage.

Justin Trudeau is the phoniest leader in the western world by a country mile, cant even look at him without gammoning.

The grammar on the initial image in that Tory ad is atrocious. I'm not sure how many new votes the short video that followed is meant to win them.
Before the probable federal election in the autumn, there's the small matter of a provincial general election in Nova Scotia on Monday.
And shortly after it there'll be a territorial legislative election in Nunavut too.

This has been confirmed by the PM's office issuing a statement last night stating that the PM will visit the Governor General at 10.00am EDT today (3.00pm BST) and backed up by the CBC (Canada's version of the BBC) announcing a special election call programme (being streamed via YouTube) from 9.30am EDT (2.30pm BST)
