The Canadian PM has taken his campaign on the offensive ahead of today's election.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, hit by scandals and locked in a near dead-heat ahead of today’s election, has put away his teleprompter and taken his campaign on the offensive.

Two senior aides on Trudeau’s plane even said it might still be possible to win a majority of the 338 seats in the House of Commons, which is unlikely if opinion polls and the Liberals own forecasts are accurate. Some campaign aides were deeply unhappy, two sources said and felt obliged to have uncomfortable conversations with their young children about racism for the first time. The malaise spread to the tour in the days afterwards and Trudeau, who repeatedly apologised for the images, gave flat performances to subdued supporters.

His father, Trudeau said, would not have worried about encountering rough weather while paddling a canoe because his approach was to “sing louder and paddle harder”.Trudeau also made other changes. Dozy days that saw the 47-year-old leader do one or two events are gone, replaced by a last-week frenzy.
