Harper faces drubbing as Canada heads toward vote
- 9 years ago
Canada's leftist New Democrats took a giant leap ahead of rivals in an election campaign, according to polls published Friday, which predict a thumping for staunchly pro-Israel prime minister Stephen Harper and his bid for a fourth Tory government.
Backing for Prime Minister Stephen Harper's Conservatives, meanwhile, has plummeted to 29%, while the Liberals led by Justin Trudeau, the son of late prime minister Pierre Trudeau, moved up to second spot with 30 percent support.
On Saturday, Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau took his campaign trail to an Islamic conference in Mississauga where he told the audience he would abolish the Conservative sponsored citizenship law that gives the government the power to revoke the citizenship of Canadian convicted of terrorism, treason, or espionage whether at home or abroad, The Star Canada reported.
