[Voice of Justin Trudeau] The next election is about the kind of country we want to live in.

様態の副詞

[Voice of Rosemary Barton] Justin Trudeau may arguably be

the most experienced campaigner of this election

but he is also about to do something he has never done before.

Run as a prime minister on a record of his own government

asking to continue the work with another mandate.

[Trudeau] In October we've got a choice to make.

[Barton] But moving ahead also means looking back at what has and has not been done.

Liberals will happily talk more about giving more money to Canadian families with a bigger child tax credit.

Progressing on the path to reconciliation.

And fighting climate change with a carbon tax across the country.

But there have been mistakes too, that are opportunities for Trudeau's opponents.

An ill-fated trip to India that was roundly mocked

and proved perhaps more trouble than it was worth.

A vacation to the Aga Khan's private island which contravened the Ethics Act.

[Barton] At no point you didn't say to yourself, this is not maybe the best thing to do?

[Trudeau] The Aga Khan is someone who has been a longtime friend of my family's.

[Voice of Rosemary Barton] Electoral promises have been broken.

The promise of balanced budgets left behind.

[Trudeau] The trust that previously existed between these two individuals

[Barton[ To say nothing of the SNC Lavlin controversy

which cost the prime minister two cabinet ministers

and again concluded with the ethics commissioner saying Trudeau had broken the rules

by trying to pressure his former justice minister.

[Trudeau] The choice is very clear right now

between going back to the cuts and austerity of the Harper years

[Barton] Campaigning is something Trudeau thrives on.

And opponents have seen how underestimating him is a mistake.

And the next leader of the Conservative Party of Canada with 51% of the vote.

[Barton] Andrew Scheer has now been leader of the Conservative Party since 2017.

Beating out more than a dozen others to replace Stephen Harper.

[Scheer] Canadians cannot afford four more years of Justin Trudeau .

[Barton] But quickly he was painted as Harper with a smile.

[Serapio] You're either described as the smiling Stephen Harper or Stephen Harper with a smile.

[Scheer] Well, I think that's a fairly accurate description.

[Barton] Scheer has never faced a national federal campaign as leader before.

But he's been a politician since the age of 25.

Much of that time was spent in the more neutral role of Speaker of the House of Commons.

[Scheer] This is what is disgusting about this.

They are using the very real threat of hatred and racism in this country

[Barton] Scheer quickly embraced his role as leader of the official opposition

pushing the prime minister to defend his government's record.

But at times, the effort to look tough has seemed uncomfortable and forced.

That will be one of his biggest challenges.

But his policies will be familiar to conservatives.

Dump the carbon tax and give money back to Canadians to spend as they see fit.

Lower the cost of living and leave more money in your pockets.

Having supported socially conservative positions

particularly against same-sex marriage that he is now struggling to defend.

[Scheer] My personal views are that every single Canadian has the same quality rights under the law

but conservatives say he's been preparing for months and is ready.

[Voice of Jagmeet Singh]  As your new leader --

[Barton] Jagmeet Singh is new to politics.

A member of the Ontario legislature since 2011,

Singh decided to take the plunge into federal politics in 2017

after Tom Mulcair was pushed out of the NDP.

The jump was a big one and Singh faced some criticism even from inside his own party

for not running for a seat for almost a full year.

[Reporter] Can you tell us whether or not your caucus is behind you in supporting this?

At this point, just give me a moment I just need to clarify.

[Barton] Singh struggled to get a handle on federal politics and the NDP's positions

He has since pushed party policies like universal pharmacare and affordable housing.

[Singh] Imagine instead a government in Ottawa that actually works for you.

The NDP hasn't raised as much money as it needs for this campaign.

And has yet to name about half of the candidates across the country.

[Singh] We're out sharing our message, connecting with people.

[Barton] This election could be make or break for Singh

but it may also be a defining moment for the NDP and its future.

[Voice of Elizabeth May] I love telling people all the reasons why even one Green elected to a parliament

or legislature can make a really big difference.

[Barton] This is hardly Elizabeth May's first campaign

but it may be the first one where a real breakthrough is possible.

She still holds the title of the first Green Party seat claimed federally in 2011.

There was some more success for the party when they managed to add a seat

with Paul Manly's by-election win earlier this year.

But in many ways it is the success of the Greens at the provincial level
