Is this Canada's moment? (a Japanese perspective)

[Spazito]

2. It has been astonishing to watch and to participate in...

I'm 71 and have never seen anything like it. There is a strength of purpose, a renewed sense of unity that had been badly damaged by the cons and their divisive message. The first day of early voting was record breaking, not that that necessarily means more Canadians will vote overall but it does indicate a strong will to get out there and make a difference. I waited more than an hour to vote and that had never happened to me before in all my voting years.

The election is probably going to be close but the Liberals are still 5 points ahead in the polls at this point and the cons have changed their ads to exclude any visuals of PP entirely, indicating they know he is unpopular with Canadians, and have begun using Stephen Harper, a former Prime Minister touting PP instead. Hopefully it's too little, too late.
