A political science professor believes we’ll be going to the polls on April 28.
This comes as reports swirl that Prime Minister Mark Carney plans to call a snap election this Sunday.
Dr, Tom Urbaniak of Cape Breton University says the Liberals are thinking a short campaign might be to their advantage.
“Donald Trump is still doing all kinds of wild things, if he were to slow down or quiet down for a while, that would be an advantage for the Conservatives, because they could then start talking about other topics like the Carbon Tax,” said Dr. Urbaniak.
The Liberals have been polling better since Justin Trudeau announced he was stepping down as Prime Minister.
Urbaniak says he’s never seen a party rebound like this in such a short amount of time.
“Incumbents were announcing they weren’t going to re-offer, and some Liberals are changing their minds. I think even the party themselves in their most optimistic moments did not imagine such a turnaround.”
Urbaniak says it will be an election campaign like no other, and he wonders what the Conservative messaging will be.
He says the Liberals will have to get candidate spots filled, they were at just over half a few days ago.
