In August 15, Justin Trudeau met with the governor general, Mary Simon, and asked her to dissolve parliament. The outcome of this meeting meant a federal election will be called. Prime Minister Trudeau announced the election will be held on Sept 20. The length of the election campaign is 36 days, which is the minimum amount of days from calling an election and election day.
On September 20, voters can get an idea who will form government. Normally, on the day of election, the citizens of Canada will know for certainty who is the next prime minister. Due to the COVID19 pandemic, their was an increase in mail in ballots. The mail-in ballots will not start to be counted until September 21, which is the day after the election.
Canada is now officially in a 4th wave of COVID19. The number of cases has increase dramatically after the loosening of restrictions.
The outcome of the election and the 4th wave of COVID19, will definitely affect the markets.
