OTTAWA — Prime Minister Mark Carney is expected to call a snap election on Sunday, dissolving the federal government he took over barely a week ago and sending Canadians to the ballot box amid a historic trade war with the United States.

Two federal government sources confirmed media reports that Carney will head to Rideau Hall on March 23 to ask Governor General Mary Simon to dissolve Parliament and send Canadians to the ballot box. The sources were not authorized to discuss the date publicly.
