Canadians vote as Trudeau's bid for decisive win hangs in the balance

Canadians went to the polls on Monday (Sep 20) as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau appeared likely to lose his bid for a parliamentary majority after a tough campaign that may have dashed his Liberal Party's hopes for a convincing win.

Trudeau heads a minority government that relies on the support of other parties to pass legislation. With opinion polls last month showing him far ahead, he triggered the vote two years earlier than necessary, saying voters needed to weigh in on his left-of-centre government's handling of the COVID-19 pandemic.

But as the public's unhappiness about the early call grew, the 49-year-old prime minister saw his lead evaporate. Liberal strategists now concede it will be hard for the party to win a majority of the House of Commons' 338 seats.

Trudeau backs vaccine mandates, while Conservative leader Erin O'Toole, 48, opposes them and prefers a combination of voluntary vaccinations and rapid testing to stop the virus' spread.

"We need clear, strong leadership that is going to continue to unequivocally push vaccines, and that's what we will do. Mr O'Toole, he can't, and he won't," Trudeau told supporters in Niagara Falls, Ontario, on Sunday during a frantic last day that saw him travel 4,500km across Canada.
