With just a few days left before Canadians go to the polls, party leaders are doubling down on their efforts to promote their platforms and promises and make some last-minute headway.
Liberals
Campaigning in Windsor, Ont., on Sept. 17, Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau sought to appeal to Ontarians by reaffirming his plan to mandate vaccination for travellers, while promising to support vaccine passports in provinces and territories, and support the hiring of extra nurses and nurse practitioners to clear health-care wait lists, among other promises.Trudeau was asked by a reporter if Canada’s exclusion from AUKUS was because Canada had become “irrelevant,” as suggested by Conservative Leader Erin O’Toole. AUKUS is a new defence pact between the United States, Australia, and the United Kingdom, which was announced by the White House on Sept. 15.
