According to sources, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is planning to call a snap election for September 20th.
He's expected to make the formal announcement this Sunday at Rideau Hall in Ottawa.
Trudeau aides have said for months that the ruling Liberals would push for a vote before the end of 2021, two years ahead of schedule. Trudeau only has a minority government and relies on opposition parties to push through legislation.
To formally launch the campaign Trudeau will need to visit Governor-General Mary Simon, the personal representative of the head of state Queen Elizabeth, to ask that Parliament be dissolved.
