- And once Mr. Trudeau does win, interim leader Bob Rae has some advice for him.
- The Liberal Party, famous for factional infighting, appears united, jubilant and renewed and has become Justin Trudeau’s personal political machine, John Ibbitson writes.
- Critics dismiss Mr. Trudeau as all hair and rhetoric and no substance, but Jeffrey Simpson counsels against dismissing his flair for the stage.
- You can see that flair for yourself in these highlights from Mr. Trudeau's final campaign speech.
- Conservative leader Stephen Harper has to let it be known soon whether he will lead the party into another election, Lawrence Martin writes.
