Citizens of Canada are voting today (Monday) in the parliamentary elections, which were preceded by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Trudeau gambled on the success of his government in the fight against the Corona virus when he called for early elections with the aim of giving the Liberal Party led by him a majority in parliament but polls suggest a close race against the Conservative opposition led by Erin Otol.

Trudeau, 49, who has been in power since 2015, warned yesterday that his opponents would be harmed in the epidemic, adding that Canadian citizens need a science-based government. "We do not need a conservative government that will not be able to introduce the vaccine and science leadership we need to end this," Trudeau said during a visit to Montreal at the end of his campaign.

Trudeau also mentioned at every opportunity that O'Toole refused to disclose how many of his party's candidates are vaccine refusers.

O'Toole even described the choice to get vaccinated or not to get vaccinated by the candidates as a personal medical decision.

Trudeau, on the other hand, supports a mandatory vaccination for any Canadian who wants to fly or travel by train, a topic the Conservatives oppose.

The opposition criticized the early elections, saying Trudeau did so only for him.

"The election at the time of the epidemic is dangerous and selfish," O'Toole said at the end of his campaign in Ontario.

Otol, 47, is a military veteran and former lawyer who has served as a member of parliament for nine years. Trudeau, for his part, took advantage of the 2015 election to be the son of the late Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, who is considered a much-loved liberal leader - but a combination of high expectations , excessive exposure and a few scandals eroded the enthusiasm of voters.

"liberal majority is possible, but not the most likely scenario," said Daniel Bland, Professor of Political Science at McGill University in Montreal. "it is clear carries vaccines allowed liberals to earn points against the conservatives, That we continue to emphasize human freedom. "
