Trudeau Triggers Canada’s Election

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has officially declared the date for Canada’s general election: October 21, Axios reports.

“The election will effectively be a referendum on Trudeau’s first term. That’s not necessarily good news for the telegenic PM — an ethics scandal and unfulfilled expectations mean it’s far from certain he’ll win a new term. Polls show his Liberals neck and neck with the opposition Conservatives.”
