Justin Trudeau’s bid for a third term in Canada appears to be getting a boost from a right-wing splinter party that’s against vaccine mandates and may be peeling votes away from the prime minister’s Conservative rival.
The People’s Party of Canada, led by former Conservative cabinet minister Maxime Bernier, has nearly 7% support in the latest Nanos Research Group survey. The poll gives Trudeau’s Liberals about 33% support compared to 30% for the Tories under Leader Erin O’Toole, with one week until election day.
