it is a beautiful day to vote, i encourage everyone to get out. justin trudeau, the man born with a silver spoon in his mouth, wanted to be seen as a man of the people, standing in line to vote like everyone else. he cast his ballot in an election he called, which many canadians did not want. opposition leader erin o toole tried to use that to his advantage, openly criticising this mr trudeau s decision to try canadians to the polls. he ran a centrist campaign, helping to turn disaffected liberal voters into conservative ones. five weeks ago mr trudeau was after a majority, saying the minority parliament was, quote, unworkable. tonight canadians did not give him the majority mandate he wanted.
