Canadian election campaign opens with pledge for majority
Prime Minister Stephen Harper urged voters to give Conservatives an outright majority to avoid a left-of-center coalition that could threaten the economy. The Liberal party ruled out forming a coalition, while Harper accused Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff of betraying promises. The election marks Canada's fourth in seven years with no party holding a majority after a no confidence vote toppled Harper's government.
