Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau appears to be on the brink of losing his parliamentary majority.
Voters will head to the ballot box to elect their new prime minister on Monday, bringing an end to six weeks of campaigning that has been light on policy and heavy on personality.
"The most revealing thing to me was not so much that it happened, it is that he could not remember how many times it had happened."Conservative leader Andrew Scheer and Canadian Prime Minister and Liberal leader Justin Trudeau gesture to each other as they both respond during the Federal Leaders Debate at the Canadian Museum of History in Gatineau, Quebec on October 7, 2019.
Trudeau told reporters in Montreal on Wednesday that he believed the Conservatives had run "one of the dirtiest, nastiest campaigns based on disinformation that we have ever seen in this country." "There is a lot of friction about this issue and it is something that has really polarized people in the country," Demarais told CNBC via telephone.
Meanwhile, the Conservatives have proposed to eliminate the carbon tax — a contentious policy introduced by Trudeau's government — and focus on incentives rather than punishments for exceeding carbon limits.With the Liberals and Conservatives struggling to attract enough support to govern alone, some of Canada's smaller parties could be relied upon to form a parliamentary majority.
A Quebec-based separatist party in Canada's French-speaking province could also make surprise gains at the polls.
