Canada's Liberal leader Justin Trudeau rode a late campaign surge to a stunning election victory on Monday, toppling Prime Minister Stephen Harper's Conservatives with a promise of change and returning a touch of glamor, youth and charisma to Ottawa.

Canada's major television networks projected the Liberals' victory and the party was on the cusp of a majority.

While the final vote count was not yet complete, Trudeau's Liberals were on track to win 174 of Parliament's 338 seats, according to Elections Canada.

Trudeau, 43, the photogenic son of former prime minister Pierre Trudeau, vaulted from third place to lead the polls in the final days of the campaign, overcoming Conservative attacks that he is too inexperienced and unintelligent to govern.

Wasn’t it discussed in FR that Obama’s minions were up in Canada helping to manipulate the election? It didn’t work in Israel, thank God, but just took out a fairly decent ally in Harper. Everything O touches turns to liberal, “progressive” crap.

I read Obama’s team was working hard for this. Northern version of Hope and Change.
