45th General Election of Canada|Monday, April 28th, 2025

This morning — Canada’s Governor-General dissolved the Parliament of Canada (House of Commons) on the recommendation of Canada’s Prime Minister. The 45th general election of Canada will be held on Monday, April 28, 2025.  The 105 Senators of Canada keep their positions as they are appointed by the Governor-General of Canada, on the recommendation of Canada's Prime Minister

Some background information on what dissolution of the House of Commons of Canada means can be viewed at https://www.ourcommons.ca/procedure/procedure-and-practice-3/ch_08_6-e.html#8-6-2

Meanwhile,  Elections Canada has a lot of work ahead to coordinate 343 elections to elect a new MP in each of the 343 ridings across Canada. For more information on this including knowing who the candidates for your local MP will be on April 9, 2025 — go to https://www.elections.ca/content2.aspx?section=kdt&document=index&lang=e

I encourage people to remain engaged in the federal election process including (hopefully) taking in an all candidates forum (should they occur) but ultimately, no matter who you support in the federal election, please make sure that you get out to vote as our democracy depends on it! But I always make sure to vote in all our elections — whether local, provincial or federal!

Best of luck to everyone who is running in our federal election to become our next Member of Parliament, here in the federal riding of Cariboo-Prince George
