Justin Trudeau

Andrew MacDougall: The Liberals may try to make the ugly protests against Trudeau look like Erin O’Toole’s fault—and there’s a good chance it will backfire

Paul Wells: In recent federal elections, the winning side was the one that offered benefits. The losers tried to run on values.

Niigaan Sinclair: In 2015, Indigenous voters helped the Liberals win a majority. But most of Trudeau’s success on Indigenous issues came after 2019, in a minority government.

Philippe J. Fournier: The latest 338 projection shows the Liberals falling two seats per day since the campaign began. The Conservatives are the new favourites.

Election Image of the Day: By disrupting the Liberal leader’s event, they raise a question: what credible Canadian politician wants any part of them and their foul-mouthed crusade?

Andrew MacDougall: The Liberals’ 2015 majority-winning campaign was a masterclass in tone against the snippy Tories. In this campaign, it’s all turned around.

Election Image of the Day: While the Liberal leader and his opponents sparred over vaccine mandates, photos of cheek-by-jowl crowds at Pearson Airport were flying around social media

Paul Wells: Spend enough time covering politics and you eventually deal with weapons-grade déjà vu. Case in point: Liberals warning about the public health system.

Election Image of the Day: The desperate effort to get people out of Afghanistan is front of mind in Ottawa. You wouldn’t know it from watching the campaign.
