Prime minister tells Canadians it does make a difference whether the country has a progressive government or not

Canada Prime Minister Justin Trudeau arrives at an election campaign stop in Richmond Hill, Ontario, Canada, September 18 2021. Picture: REUTERS/CARLOS OSORIOWith the Canadian election in a dead heat two days before the September 20 vote, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his Conservative rival implored supporters to stay the course and avoid vote splitting that could hand their opponent victory.

Trudeau called an early election, seeking to convert approval for his government’s handling of the pandemic into a parliamentary majority. But he is now scrambling to save his job, with Canadians questioning the need for an early election amid a fourth pandemic wave. A tight race could result in another minority government, with the NDP, led by Jagmeet Singh, playing kingmaker. It has also put a focus on turnout, with low turnout historically favouring the Conservatives.

The PPC, which has channelled anger against mandatory vaccines into surprising support, could draw votes away from the Conservatives in close district races, helping the Liberals eke out a win. Earlier this month, Liberal MP Raj Saini ended his re-election campaign amid allegations of inappropriate behaviour towards female staffers.
