Canadians are electing a new Parliament on Monday after a tight election campaign that has raised the threat of PM Trudeau being knocked from power after one term.
Trudeau also was hurt by a scandal that erupted this year when his former attorney general said he pressured her to halt the prosecution of a Quebec company. Trudeau has said he was standing up for jobs, but the damage gave a boost to the Conservative Party led by Andrew Scheer.
Scheer is a career politician described by those in his own party as bland, a possible antidote for those tired of Trudeau's flash. Scheer, 40, calls Trudeau a phony who can't even recall how many times he has worn blackface. "Scheer has been hostage to the message," Nanos said."His campaign has made him into an attack machine."
