Trudeau, O’Toole neck to neck in the last days of the campaign

A new poll shows a total stalemate between Justin Trudeau’s Liberals and Erin O’Toole’s Conservatives with less than a week left for federal elections.

The poll conducted by Leger in collaboration with The Canadian Press shows that both parties are tied with the support of 32 percent of determined voters, with the NDP in third place with 20 percent.

A similar poll conducted two weeks ago had conservatives leading the way with 34 percent compared to 30 percent for liberals and 24 percent for the NDP.

Surveys cannot be given a margin of error because surveys conducted on the Internet are not considered random samples.

The leaders are back on the campaign trail today after spending yesterday sharpening their attacks, with O’Toole painting his opponent as privileged and entitled, saying that while Trudeau was “celebrating,” he was doing search and rescue missions in the army.

Trudeau accused O’Toole of participating in “personal attacks” and insisted that his own actions could not be compared to those of the Conservative leader, even when he argued that O’Toole has “representatives” in the anti-vaccine movement, without providing evidence. concrete.
