Canada votes in tight election, Harper's Tories at risk

OTTAWA: Canadians voted Monday in closely contested general elections that could see Liberal leader Justin Trudeau, the son of a beloved prime minister, end conservative Prime Minister Stephen Harper's near-decade in office.

Public opinion has swung wildly during the hard-fought campaign, one of the longest in the country's history, but final polling showed Trudeau's Liberals eight points ahead of Harper's Tories.
