Trudeau Kicks Off Summer Election Campaign

“Justin Trudeau triggered an election campaign Sunday as he looks to regain the strong hold on power his Liberals lost nearly two years ago… He announced that Canadians will vote Sept. 20,” Politico reports.

“Trudeau will look to capitalize on strong polling and his government’s record in handling the health and economic crises of the pandemic. The summer election campaign carries risk for Trudeau. Polls suggest that a majority mandate is not a lock, and the pandemic’s uncertainty threatens to create unexpected campaign conditions.”
