When do you guys think a Canadian election will be called?

Depends on if he resigns. If he does I expect the NDP will use this as an excuse to delay a non confidence vote so they can have a leadership convention.
If he doesn't resign then probably end of Feb call for mid April election. But you never know.

He is going to prorogue parliament to keep his job as long as possible. Have a leadership race but still stay on as a MP.
So it depends on how long he prorogues parliament for.

Longest would be until March 31st. The government will run out of funds by then, if not sooner.
I'm going with, not soon enough. Trudeau is done, finished, toast. Can't wait until we officially say goodbye to the worst Prime Minister this country has ever seen. Good riddance!
Why will they run out of funds? the Treasury board still operates, revenues are still coming in....
He will probably prorogue parliament citing the urgency to prepare for trade negotiations with the USA. After which Parliamenty will close for summer break and perhaps the libs will have a leadership convention to prepare for the election
I hope Pierre throws that back in Trudeau's face when he does it.
"Trudeau can do much via executive fiat, but he needs Parliament to approve the monies needed to keep the federal government running."
Conveniently for him, on Dec. 10 the House of Commons passed a bill releasing $21.6 billion to fund the federal civil service for the rest of “the fiscal year ending March 31, 2025.”

In an extreme case, he prorogues parliament and walls himself up in the PMO until the federal government goes broke

It would be unfair and undemocratic to force an election without giving the Libs a couple months to pick a new leader. As far as the urgency to deal with Trump in 3 weeks, I say fuck Trump and go ahead regardless. They should select a temporary PM who is not a leadership candidate to carry on until the new leader is chosen by a convention vote. I'm sure PP would like the vote next week and all you Cons can't wait to have our education, pension and medicare plans decimated!
No it isn't. Trudeau had the choice to step down at any time. In this case it's his duty to take his lumps if an election is called. If he resigns his cowardice is no excuse, just a lesson for the Liberal party to pick better next time.
F-ing BS.
Trudeau has been given almost a year to resign. He's your leader, no excuses. There will be plenty of time to pick a new leader after the election.
And yes I can't wait for the cuts to come. We can't continue spending like this.
Not before July.
We've yet to find out how dysfunctional President Musk regime actually is. If they want to impose tariffs on goods they desperately need, there's the CETA agreement with the EU. Whomever the liberal leader is he/she's going to want American insanity to sink in.
