a strong economy and low unemployment trudeau's popularity dipped after a series of scandals like this old photo of trudeau wearing blackface for his violation of conflict of interest rules. during the last weeks of campaigning to do is been trying to make up for his missteps often attacking his main opponent the conservative party here's the question you have to ask yourself do you want 53000000000 dollars worth of conservative cuts or do you want a progressive government that will continue investing in families and investing in communities that's the choice it's that simple. and it's that important. it's not true those attacks aren't the only worry of conservative leader andrew scheer he is also quite unpopular according to the polls in one of the closest races in recent years most of the conservatives and the liberals may not win

a big enough majority to govern alone. this is where jack singh leader of the left leaning new democratic party could come into play with approval ratings soaring forest party scene could become the kingmaker of canada's election as a prospective partner in a liberal minority government. let's bring in correspondent pablo for the n.d.s. who joins us from downtown ottawa pablo we understand polls are starting to close in some places and we saw the prime minister casting his ballot how was the voting process overall. hi well it's been a hectic day here as you said the polls are beginning to close across the country the 1st newfoundland and labrador have already closed and over the next few hours we'll be seeing have the bigger provinces of cut back on as far as british columbia

in the west coast close and the results come in pretty quick here in canada we're hearing that within 30 minutes 45 minutes even an hour if it's a little bit tighter we could see the results coming in and of course everybody is glued to television sets across the country because this is a tight race will justin trudeau liberals hold on to power will the conservatives just get ahead of them and how will those smaller parties like the n.d.p. the greens fare and of course just over the water behind the parliament building here is kicked back. the backer and nationalist party are expected to do better than they did in 2015 so it's still all to play for tommy you mentioned the 2 main parties pre-election polls put them so close and some are even calling this indecision 29 teams why all canadians having such a hard time making their minds up. well justin trudeau

liberals have disappointed many of those who voted for justin trudeau back in 2015 because of numerous scandals and also because of some environmental measures that he took place in the west of canada allowing an oil pipeline be built which has also meant that some of his party supporters have gone to other parties such as the greens and then amongst young voters they're feeling a little bit sort of jaded with the 2 main parties of the liberals on the conservatives and the n.d.p. have done a very good online campaign which seems to have struck a chord and like i said over and kept backlit block it seems to have also garnered a lot of support there so it's really so tight it's so difficult to see how it's going to end up and we could actually have to wait till the last writings writings or the electoral districts here in canada in british columbia on the west coast actually bring in the results to finally see who is going to be governing canada
