canada's prime minister, justin trudeau, has said he called this election because the pandemic changed the country, and that canadians should have a say in what happens to canada going forward. the opposition, however, says that this is actually nothing more than an expensive political ploy by mr trudeau to try and get a firmer hold on power and gain a majority in parliament. and the voting public? well, they're just suffering from election fatigue. remember, this is the second time canadians are going to the polls in less then two years. the first was mandated by law, but this election is really aboutjustin trudeau trying to gain this big majority. but if you look at the polling, he is now in a statistical tie with his main opposition rival, which means that this political gamble may actually backfire may actually backfire and he could even lose his seat as prime minister.
