In his recent remarks, Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau has alleged that almost nine years of Conservative rule have produced a legacy of “cynicism” and “division,” which he aims to eradicate in the coming election battle. Bitterly criticizing Prime Minister Stephen Harper, Trudeau alleged that his ruling party has played with the country’s religious, ethnic and geographical differences for political advantage.

During an interview on Friday, Trudeau stated that “we know that careful application of these politics, of strategic vote-getting and wedge politics and division and negativity can actually lead to getting a majority government. Mr. Harper is proof of that.” In addition to that, Trudeau adamantly declared that economy will be the ballot question of the federal election, i.e. scheduled for Oct. 19, 2015. The issue is of utmost importance and Harper has no other option but to endorse it as Conservatives boast to have weathered the recession and its aftermath better than most countries.

However, Trudeau seemed quite less impressed with the Tory track record. He said “what I’m hearing from Canadians is there is a level of anxiety about their future, about their kids’ future, about how they are going to care for aging parents that this government simply hasn’t responded to.” Trudeau alleged that although the economy will be most important for voters, they will also be looking at the style of government. He said that the Conservative tenure has been marked by a “negative tone, a nastiness and actually a lack of ambition and vision of this country.”
