Summary
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney will call an early general election for April 28 and run for office in Ottawa’s Nepean riding.
Carney, who succeeded Justin Trudeau in March, seeks a clear mandate amid rising tensions with the U.S. sparked by Donald Trump’s trade war threats and calls for Canada to become the 51st state.
The opposition Conservatives, led by Pierre Poilievre, had expected an easy victory until Trump’s attacks fueled a surge in nationalism, boosting Liberal support.
The election will decide 343 House of Commons seats.
Yeah what I meant is: we have a similar system but it’s on a national level (like many other places), so the proportion of votes results in the number of MPs for each list that was voted, with a minimum threshold for winning any seat at all.
Instead in your case, every district elects a single MP, then? Meaning your representation is not proportional to the population but to the majorities of each single district?
