The 2025 Canadian federal election was held on April 28, 2025, to elect members to the House of Commons of the 45th Canadian Parliament. Governor General Mary Simon dropped the writs of election on March 23, 2025, after Prime Minister Mark Carney advised her to dissolve Parliament. This was the first election to use a new 343-seat electoral map based on the 2021 census. Key issues of the election campaign included the cost of living, housing, crime, U.S. tariffs against Canadian exports, and threats of annexation made by U.S. president Donald Trump.
