A political science professor believes voters will become more engaged in the upcoming federal election now that summer vacations are over.
The writ is officially expected to be dropped in the coming days.
Mario Levesque says climate change will likely be one of several issues during the campaign.
“Immigration will be front and centre in this election and this is where the Conservatives can make some headway, I think, on this issue for their party.”
Levesque says international trade, the health care and the oil industry are also likely to dominate discussions.
He believes the Liberals will be struggling to keep some of the many seats they won during the last vote, especially in Atlantic Canada.
Levesque thinks the grits will be campaigning on their progress with Indigenous people and the environment.
He adds Conservative leader Andrew Scheer will be looking to hold the government to account on the SNC-Lavalin affair and the recent ethics breach.
