CANADIAN GOVERNMENT FEARED A FOURTH WAVE OF THE PANDEMIC
Justin Trudeau expected to call a federal election on Sunday, insiders sayS
One federal source revealed that Trudeau is expected to ask Gov. Gen. Mary Simon to dissolve Parliament Sunday, and while another confirmed that is the plan “for now,” the source indicated Trudeau could also decide to make the call Monday or later.
Casting a shadow over that plan are new warnings by Canada’s top public health official, Dr. Tam, who told reporters the Delta variant of the SARS-CoV-2 virus is driving a fourth wave in Canada. There are more than 13,000 active cases across the country.
Tam said any federal campaign and election voting organizations will have to follow local public health guidelines but she stopped short of advising against a campaign at this time, saying her job was simply to provide guidance.
“I think anyone who’s campaigning must observe those best practices, and follow local public health guidance as well. But there’s different rules being applied in different areas of the country,” she said.
