Canada's main opposition party has criticized the recent Liberal leadership debate. Conservative MP Michael Barrett expressed surprise that no one challenged Mark Carney on his views regarding the carbon tax or his stance on immigration, despite Carney's previous statements claiming to have a plan to crack down on immigration.

The Conservatives also called on Mark Carney to clarify his proficiency in French after a colleague had to correct him during a live debate. Reports indicate that Carney mistakenly stated in a French-language debate about the future of Gaza that he agreed with Hamas, a comment that Freeland immediately corrected.

Canada may soon face an election call, with Mark Carney expected to announce the election before Parliament resumes on March 24. Reports suggest that Carney could make a general election announcement on Wednesday and convene a meeting of premiers later this week. If the Liberals were to lose in a potential snap election, Carney could become Canada's shortest-serving prime minister. Currently, the record for the shortest tenure is held by former Prime Minister Charles Tupper, who served for only 69 days in 1896. If an early election is called, it is expected that Canadians could vote in late A
