Trudeau starts campaign blitz as new poll suggests Canadians want change

Justin Trudeau has launched a two-day, six-province campaign blitz to mobilize his supporters ahead of election day, as a new poll suggests a growing number of Canadians feel that it’s the right time to change government.

The Liberal Leader urged his supporters to ensure that “no voter is left behind” as part of the ground game on Monday, arguing their Conservative rivals cannot be trusted to play fair on Oct. 19.

“This is going to be a very close election, and as we all know, [Conservative Leader Stephen] Harper still has tricks up his sleeve,” Mr. Trudeau said at a rally with his New Brunswick candidates in Saint John. “Be sure to vote Monday, help us defeat Stephen Harper.”

A new Globe and Mail/CTV/Nanos Research poll has found that the proportion of Canadians who thinks it is “time for a change” has risen to 71 per cent, up five points since July. The election was called on Aug. 2.
