Dalla Nova Scotia ai sondaggi arrivano segnali negativi per Justin Trudeau

TORONTO – Ancora segnali negativi per Justin Trudeau in questa prima settimana di campagna elettorale. L’esito del voto in Nova Scotia e il nuovo sondaggio della Abacus mettono in luce degli elementi che il leader liberale non dovrebbe sottovalutare in vista dell’appuntamento alle urne del prossimo 20 settembre.

Incumbent Ya’ara Saks seeks to retain her seat for the Liberals.
