It is official a federal election will take place and Canadians will cast their ballot on Sept. 20.
The announcement was made by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Sunday (Aug. 15) morning.
Trudeau took to Twitter to talk about the 44th election and why it is important that Canadians head to the polls.
We’ve had your back, and now it’s time to hear your voice. You need to choose how we finish the fight against COVID-19 and build back better. That’s what #elxn44 is about.

Instead, Mr. Trudeau has called an elxn because he's focused on keeping his own job and his rich insider friends happy
New Democrats fight for you
We'll make the rich pay their fair share & build a recovery that benefits everyone
