Another of these sources said the Premier recounted to them that Mr. Ford had advised Mr. Carney to trigger an election. Mr. Ford won a third majority government after he called an early election last year, saying he needed a mandate to take on U.S. President Donald Trump.

The Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi just pulled the same move and benifited. It's an anti democratic move but the safe money would be on it working. PP is still a threat Carney can scare people from Green or NDP and I'm sure many Conservative votes were won over by Carney classic Conservativeness.
