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?
