Reuters: Canada's Trudeau says fighting for every vote, concedes rival could win
WHITBY, Ontario (Reuters) - Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, trying to retain power after scandals dimmed his image, on Friday said he was fighting for every vote in an election next week and conceded his main rival could win.
Polls show Trudeau’s Liberals are locked in a tie with the opposition Conservatives ahead of the vote on Monday and will not capture enough seats for a majority. That would leave them in a weakened position, reliant on smaller parties to govern.
Trudeau has spent much of the campaign in Ontario, Canada’s most populous province, which accounts for 108 of the 338 seats in the House of Commons. The Liberals hold 76 of those seats and need to retain them to stand a chance of winning.

WNU Editor: Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has one thing going for him in this election .... an opponent (Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer) who has not only alienated his own base on a number of issues, but has been a catastrophe in appealing to French speaking voters in Quebec (the province that I live in). Andrew Scheer's performance at the first French debate just made me cringe. Instead of using the playbook that a number of provincial conservative parties have used in the past two years to win power in a number of elections (including in Quebec), he has chosen to do the opposite. It is also very telling to me that two of my closest friends who are staunch Conservative supporters are not even going to bother to vote on Monday. They are staying home. But everything is not rosy for Prime Minister Trudeau. He has also alienated his base. I live in a riding that has been dominated by the Liberals for decades. But this is the first election where I have not seen one Liberal sign displayed at a home. The impression that I have is that Liberal supporters are too embarrassed on showing who they support. The big surprise in this election has been the rise of the French nationalist party (Bloc Quebecois) in Quebec. They are going to do very well. My prediction for Monday. The polls are saying that the two main parties are neck-and-neck. But for the past two years polls in Canada have been consistent in underestimating Conservative strength by about 5 points in a number of provincial elections. But I do not think that this going to happen here. We are heading into a minority government on Monday, and the Liberals are well positioned to stay in power by forming an alliance with the NDP (our Socialist party).
