Trailing in opinion polls, Canadian Liberal Prime Minister Justin Trudeau attacked his main rival for waffling on gun control and vaccine mandates as the campaign enters its final stretch ahead of the September 20 election.

Ottawa: Canadian Liberal Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, trailing in opinion polls, attacked his main rival on Monday for waffling on gun control and vaccine mandates as the campaign enters its final stretch ahead of the September 20 election. Conservative leader Erin O`Toole on Sunday scrapped a campaign promise to eliminate a ban on some assault weapons, a sensitive issue in Canada after mass shootings in recent years. Trudeau sought to capitalize on his opponent`s shift with just two weeks left to reverse his fortunes. O`Toole "will say anything to try and get elected," Trudeau told supporters at a campaign event in southern Ontario, Canada`s most populous province. "That`s not leadership. That`s not integrity."
