I don't see why he needs a new mandate for the next two years.
He already has a strong majority, running an election now actually decreases his strength during a key period of the Trump administration.
I think he's hoping to capitalize on the current good press and the fear of what Trump will do to make himself look good and get another 4 years (ie gaining 2 more years).
Isn't he also trying to beat the RCMP investigation into the Greenbelt scandal?
Also to get in front of the 7,000 jobs wipeout the now inevitable closing of Brewer's Retail will cause, because the $225 million(!) he gave them to stay open is only until the end of 2025
