VANCOUVER, British Columbia — Although three in five Canadians felt having a federal election this fall was not important to them, the country is headed to its second general election in less than two years. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau called the snap election Aug. 15, with the Liberals pinning their hopes of electoral victory Sept. 20 on their handling of the coronavirus pandemic. Opposition parties are calling the announcement an opportunistic bid for a majority government at a time when the country should be focusing on other priorities. The Liberals have led a minority government since the last election in October 2019.
