Federal Election 2025

With the writ being dropped on the weekend and a federal election being called, workers are now preparing locations around the country for voting day. That's set to take place on April 28th, with a number of other early voting locations also being worked on.

There are a few ways people can vote, says Regional Media Advisor for Elections Canada Marie-Frances Kenny.

The current MP for the Foothills riding, Conservative incumbent John Barlow, is once again looking to secure the Foothills riding seat in parliament.

On Sunday, Prime Minister Mark Carney announced a date for the spring election of Monday, April 28.

Barlow's team was well-prepared with lawn signs and whatnot, ready to go and were already handing them out.

Barlow represents the CPC, the Conservative Party of Canada, and has been an MP since a by-election in 2014.

He's also the Shadow Minister for Agriculture, Agri-Food, and Food Security.

Just six short months after the 2024 Provincial General Election, Saskatchewanians will be returning to the polls once again to cast their ballot, this time on a federal level. 

Prime Minister Mark Carney asked the Governor General to dissolve Parliament and call for a snap election yesterday, signaling the start of a five-week campaign on April 28, 2025 - six months ahead of the fixed date.

The federal riding of Moose Jaw - Lake Centre - Lanigan is currently held by the Conservative Party's Fraser Tolmie, a seat he has held since September of 2021.

Liberal Leader Mark Carney will try to inject some Canadian symbolism and pride to his election campaign today with a stop in Gander, Nfld.

The town in northeastern Newfoundland famously fed and housed thousands of passengers — most of them Americans — when flights were grounded after the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States.

Carney's chief opponents, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre and NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh, will campaign in the seat-rich Greater Toronto Area.

Over the weekend, Prime Minister Mark Carney called a snap federal election which will take place Monday, April 28th. A call for an election shortly after Carney’s Liberal Party of Canada leadership victory was expected, given that the new Prime Minister does not have a seat in the House of Commons. The five-week campaign will be one of the shortest in Cnadian history.

The Governor General has dropped the writ for the 2025 Federal Election.

Local candidates will vie to represent the new riding of Swift Current--Grasslands--Kindersley.

Conservative Jeremy Patzer is the incumbent in this region. He has been the local Member of Parliament since 2019.

Terry Sieben is running for the People's Party of Canada.

We do not yet know of any other candidates.

The Liberal Party, NDP, Green Party and Maverick Parties all had candidates for Cypress Hills--Grasslands in 2021.

The leaders vying to become Canada's next prime minister are officially kicking off their campaigns today, vowing to strengthen Canada's economy and stand up to U.S. President Donald Trump.

Liberal Leader Mark Carney has confirmed a federal election will be called on April 28, speaking outside Rideau Hall after requesting Parliament be dissolved.

Carney will be running in the Ottawa riding of Nepean.

The Nepean riding has been held by Liberal MP Chandra Arya for the last decade, but the party recently revoked his nomination.

Prime Minister Mark Carney is expected to call a federal election on Sunday for a vote as early as April 28.

Sources would not confirm the specific date of the vote, but federal campaigns must run at least 37 days.

This will be Canada's 45th federal election.

Canada's political parties have been mobilizing campaigns by nominating candidates and organizing leaders' tours.

Carney was elected as Liberal leader to succeed Justin Trudeau on March 9 and was sworn in as prime minister along with his new cabinet on March 14.

No matter when a Federal election is called, Portage-Lisgar M.P. Branden Leslie is ready to hit the campaign trail. 

"For me it's an opportunity to go door to door, and talk to as many people around the riding as I possibly can," he said. "We have offices in Winkler and Portage that are in the midst of being set up, and are going to be ready on day one whenever the writ is dropped."

When will election be called?

M.P.’s are slated to return to the House of Commons March 24th, but Leslie expects an election will be called before then.
