Slow and steady may win the race for Canadian prime minister as people seem to be tiring of Justin Trudeau, a factor that helped make the leader of the opposition, Erin O'Toole, a real competitor Elxn44 Cdnpoli
When Trudeau called the Sept. 20 election, he had a hefty lead in opinion polls. But with less than two weeks to go, public opinion has soured on him to such an extent that Conservative leader Erin O'Toole could end Trudeau's six years in office.
O'Toole has run a disciplined campaign, mostly with virtual events from Ottawa, which he says is a bid to limit the potential spread of COVID-19 at rallies. "There are people who have never voted Conservative that we need to reach out to," said one of the party's top officials. "Justin Trudeau is making your life less affordable today and expecting your kids and grandkids to pay your debts tomorrow," O'Toole told a small socially distanced crowd in Vancouver during a campaign rally last week.
