Trudeau says Conservatives are using disinformation as he appeals to Quebec voters

Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau today acknowledged the Conservatives could win Monday’s election — and accused the party of winning support by running one of the “dirtiest, nastiest” election campaigns in Canadian history.

Surrounded by 29 Quebec candidates at an event at Montreal’s Botanical Garden Wednesday, Trudeau appealed to Quebecers to support his party and elect a progressive government rather than a “progressive opposition.” It’s a pitch he’s been making a lot lately — a bid to beat down surging support for the NDP and Bloc Québécois by arguing that voting for those parties could help elect a Conservative government.
