It is official a federal election will take place and Canadians will cast their ballot on Sept. 20.

The announcement was made by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Sunday (Aug. 15) morning.

Trudeau took to Twitter to talk about the 44th election and why it is important that Canadians head to the polls.

We’ve had your back, and now it’s time to hear your voice. You need to choose how we finish the fight against COVID-19 and build back better. That’s what #elxn44 is about.
— Justin Trudeau (@JustinTrudeau) August 15, 2021

The news of a Fall election saw a social media post from the leader of the Opposition Erin O’Toole as well as NDP leader Jagmeet Singh.

You and your family should be the priority

Instead, Mr. Trudeau has called an elxn because he's focused on keeping his own job and his rich insider friends happy

New Democrats fight for you

We'll make the rich pay their fair share & build a recovery that benefits everyone
