OTTAWA: Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will formally launch the campaign for an Oct 21 national election on Wednesday, according to a statement, setting up what opinion polls now indicate will be a tight race.
Polls show Trudeau's Liberals are only just ahead of the official opposition Conservatives and could lose their majority in the House of Commons, leaving him in a weakened position. "We're going to keep investing in Canadians and making life more affordable - so you can keep building a better future for your kids," Trudeau wrote on Twitter.The official start of the campaign means parties are capped on how much they can spend per candidate in each of the 338 parliamentary constituencies. The maximum overall amount per party is around CUS$28 million .
"When voters head into the booth, I think they're going to be thinking about 'Who has my best interests at heart? Who can I trust to help me get ahead?'," Conservative spokesman Brock Harrison said in an interview.
