11 分钟Good morning from the Financial Times.
Today is Monday, March 24, and this is your FT news briefing.
Canada's new prime minister has called snap elections and foreign investors are really feeling the slump in US Stocks.
Plus, top tennis players are rallying off court in a new legal claim.
They really take aim at what they see as the governing body's grip on the spot.
Forth.
I'm Kasha Brasalian and here's the news you need to start your day.
Canada will head for early elections on April 28.
Prime Minister Mark Carney made the announcement on Sunday.
The former central banker has taken on a combative tone
since becoming Liberal Party leader two weeks ago.
We needed to act to fix our economy.
We needed to act to fight the Americans.
Carney's main opponent will be Conservative Party leader Pierre Poiliev.
He's drawn a lot of comparisons to Donald Trump.
His campaign slogan is even Canada First.
But Poiliev has also tried to create some distance between himself and the US President in recent weeks.
Is it time to put Canada first for a change?
With a new Conservative government that will axe taxes,
unleash resources to bring home our jobs and stand up to Donald Trump from a position of strength?
