OTTAWA, Oct.21 (Xinhua) -- Canadians on Monday began voting in a general election after a 40-day campaign season.
A new survey by Canada's Nanos Research shows the ruling Liberal Party led by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is neck-and-neck with the opposition Conservative Party led by Andrew Scheer, with each earning some 30 percent support.
The survey also showed that the New Democratic Party heads into the election with 20.8 percent support and the Quebec regional party Bloc Quebecois is polling at 7.2 percent.
Trudeau won a majority government in 2015 with 184 of the 338 seats in the House of Commons. The Conservative Party got 99 and the New Democratic Party had 44 while the Bloc Quebecois had 10 and the Green Party got one.
