Liberal leadership candidate MP Karina Gould has suggested that Canada’s next federal election could be delayed if a trade war with the United States escalates. The Liberal Party is set to elect a new leader on March 9, with former Bank of Canada governor Mark Carney seen as a frontrunner. Parliament is scheduled to resume on March 24, while the next federal election is currently set for October 20, 2025, under Canada’s fixed-election laws. His comments have sparked controversy with some critics speculating that emergency powers could be used to influence the political landscape or delay the election. Under Section 4(1) of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, Parliament cannot extend beyond five years from the date of the last general election. However, Section 4(2) allows an extension in cases of "real or apprehended war, invasion, or insurrection." https://thepostmillennial.com/liberal-minister-suggests-us-canada-trade-war-could-delay-next-federal-election
