OTTAWA - Right-leaning Canadian politicians have won important elections over the last year, but it may do Liberal Prime Minister Justin Trudeau more good in October’s national vote than his little-known Conservative Party challenger.
Last week, Alberta’s United Conservative Party leader Jason Kenney, a former federal minister, won a landslide victory in the energy-rich province. “Andrew Scheer is not the conservative leader. Andrew Scheer may be leader of the federal Conservative Party of Canada, the conservative leaders are Jason Kenney and Doug Ford,” said Duane Bratt, a political science professor at Mount Royal University in Calgary.
Damaged by a scandal over allegations of interference in a corporate corruption case, Trudeau, 47, is trailing Scheer in the polls and risks becoming the first prime minister since the 1930s to lose power after a single majority mandate. “Trudeau can run against Trumpism with as the embodiment of Trumpism in Canada, and he can be the champion of Canadian values,” said Peter Donolo, who was a spokesman for former Liberal Prime Minister Jean Chretien.
