| Description | Justin Trudeau's gamble? |
The 2021 Canadian federal election will take place in 2021.
Campaign
Justin Trudeau called an early election because of COVID.[1]
Even the CBC is questioning Trudeau's reasoning behind calling it. He has not made his case early on in the campaign.[2]
On 24 August, Trudeau made a campaign stop in Hamilton, Ontario and advocated for “stronger vaccine mandates”.[3]
Reuters reported on the danger of "unvaccinated candidates canvassing".[4]
The Conservative campaign is reaching out to the Labour movement.[5]
A Mainstreet/iPolitics poll placed Maxime Bernier's People's Party of Canada in second place in Alberta, essentially tied with the Liberals.[6]
Trudeau has been trolled and yelled at on the campaign. Only Rebel News has reported on this. He was heckled and jeered, making him run away during a campaign event in White Rock, British Columbia.[7] A man posed for a selfie with Trudeau and then called him a “commie f*ck.”[8] He had stones thrown at him in London, Ontario.[9]
Opinion polls in British Columbia are split three ways. Not good for the Liberals.[10]
On 27 August, Maxime Bernier campaigned in New Brunswick.[11]
Candidates withdrawn
Green candidate Michael Lariviere withdrew after comparing vaccine passports to Nazism.[12]
Results
Justin Trudeau will remain prime minister.[13]
