OTTAWA—By calling a provincial election for April 16, Alberta Premier Rachel Notley has opened a window for an early federal vote. If Prime Minister Justin Trudeau were so inclined, he could send Canadians to the polls before Canada Day. Notley’s call to hold a provincial election for April 16 has opened the door for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to move up by months the fall federal election, Chantal Hébert writes. But until this week, it was not clear that the option of a presummer federal vote was even available. The federal budget alone will not change the conversation on Parliament Hill but other issues are moving up on the radar.
