TORONTO -- Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is facing a tough battle against his Conservative Party rival, Erin O’Toole, in Canadian elections on Monday. Trudeau and his Liberal Party could lose power to the Conservative Party after six years in office. In addition, O’Toole has pulled his Conservative Party to the center in a bid to win power and is now calling himself a progressive. A politician who narrowly lost the leadership of the Conservative Party in 2017 now leads a far-right party that opposes vaccines and lockdowns. The Liberals entered this election with 155 seats, the Conservatives had 119, the Bloc Quebecois 32 and the leftist New Democrats 24.
