As Canada cast votes in the general elections on October 21, the poll predictions still show that the 42nd Prime Minister of Canada Justin Trudeau's Liberal Party is at a risk to lose its majority or even being out of the office. Both the Liberals and the Conservatives are set for a near dead heat with pundits calling it one of the closest elections ever in the nation. While Trudeau's campaign was about 'Choosing Forward' and Andrew Scheer, the leader of the Conservatives campaign is 'It is time for you to get ahead'. However, neither of the two parties has led Canada since the Confederation in 1867, but this time, the forecast suggests that one of them will have enough support to secure an absolute majority of seats in Parliament.

Liberals' final stop

The final campaign stop of Trudeau was in westernmost British Columbia on October 20 where he delivered an emotional speech and appealed to his voters to help him build on further on his achievements during the past tenure as a Prime Minister. Trudeau also believes that the fight of general elections is not about him, but about the citizens who should stop the Conservatives and instead 'Choose Forward'. According to the Liberals leader, in just a short-term of four years, they have successfully lifted nine hundred thousand people out of poverty.

'More money in your pocket'

The opposition leader Andrew Sheer believes that Conservatives will put more money in the pocket of Canadian citizens. Furthermore, the choice in general elections is clear for the citizens of the country, if they want a life which is expensive or affordable or the taxes will get even higher or not. Moreover, Scheer claims that Conservatives will provide hope for all instead of “just privileged few”. Conservatives leader is also claiming to help the Canadians get ahead. The first polling stations open in Newfoundland, which is Canada's most easterly province.
