Daily Mail: Is this the day Justin Trudeau gets the smile wiped off his face? Canada goes to the polls today amid predictions Liberal PM will lose his majority after being shamed in blackface scandal
* Mr Trudeau's Liberals are neck-and-neck with Andrew Scheer's Conservatives
* The PM was rocked by a series of old photos of him in brownface and blackface
* A close result may leave no winner and force party leaders into coalition talks
* Conservative supporters repeatedly chanted 'lock him up' at the rally after Scheer said he would investigate PM Trudeau's attorney general scandal
Canadian PM Justin Trudeau is fighting for his political life today as the country goes to the polls in a closely-fought general election.
Although seen as a liberal icon abroad, Mr Trudeau has seen his popularity slide at home and was damaged by a series of embarrassing blackface and brownface photos which emerged during the campaign.
His Liberal party, which came to power in 2015, is now neck-and-neck with the Conservatives in opinion polls and predicted to lose its majority.
A close result may leave no clear winner, forcing Mr Trudeau or his challenger Andrew Scheer into tricky coalition talks with other parties.
