Ensuing election blunder, Canadian PM Justin Trudeau has 12 days left to reclaim his career
Canadian Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau called a snap election for Sept. 20, intending to earn his Liberal Party the ruling majority. Until last month, Justin Trudeau was sure of winning the election due to his successful vaccination strategy, which earned him very grateful Canadian voters.
His main opponent, Conservative Leader Erin O'Toole, was non-existent for the Canadians until Trudeau called a snap election which resulted in his numbers plummeting instantly. With barely 12 days left to go, he will probably end up with a debilitated minority government or may go as far as to face a crushing defeat.
"The Liberals likely called the election thinking that they would be able to run on their pandemic record, bask in a vaccination halo and get ahead of the post-stimulus economic adjustment," said Nik Nanos, an Ottawa-based pollster at Nanos Research Group. He further added, "That's out the door now." reported NDTV.
Trudeau’s possible downfall may be due to several factors, reckon analysts. The mood of the electorate, one of the reasons voters feel taken advantage of by a politician who has turned a health crisis into a power grab. In one poll, 60% of the population agreed not to have an election.
Some point to tactical factors, On day one Trudeau, was very vague while conveying his message about his vision for the country and the reason for the vote.
In the meantime, O'Toole's Conservatives took another direction focused on the economy and eliminated its traditional ideological baggage.
Following the incident, the liberals focused on issues such as abortion, private health care, anti-vaxxers and gun control, hoping to paint the conservatives as decremental.
"I don't understand how they could have been so tone-deaf about the mood of the Canadian public, about peoples' total preoccupation with Covid and some kind of return to normal," said Peter Donolo, a vice chairman at Hill+Knowlton Canada who was communications chief to former Liberal Prime Minister Jean Chretien, according to NDTV.

Elephant calf brought from Bijnor kept under care at Pilibhit Tiger Reserve
Pilibhit (PTI): A 19-day-old elephant calf, brought from Bijnor, was placed under care at the Pilibhit Tiger Reserve (PTR) on Sunday, an official said and added that the calf got separated from its mother in the forest area of Bijnor.
The calf was born on December 2 in the Bijnor forest area and got separated from its mother shortly after birth, the official said.
The forest department made several attempts to reunite it with its mother, but without any success. To ensure the calf's safety and better care, it was decided to transfer it to the Pilibhit Tiger Reserve on the instructions of senior officials.
On Saturday, Deputy Director Manish Singh received the calf. Special arrangements have been made in the reserve for its care. It has been kept in a safe and clean environment to provide it with a natural setting and protect it from external noise and disturbances.
Singh told reporters that raising an 19-day-old calf is challenging.
It requires a special diet as a substitute for mother's milk and constant monitoring.
He said a special team has been formed to provide 24-hour care. Since the calf is very young, it is being cared for like a newborn baby.
According to Singh, the primary responsibility for monitoring the calf's health has been entrusted to PTR's veterinarian, Dr Daksh Gangwar. Under his supervision, a complete record of the calf's health checkups, diet, and body temperature is being maintained. The team is ensuring that the calf does not contract any infection.
