Trudeau's party wins in Canada polls

VANCOUVER: Canadians packed into long queues on Monday (Tuesday in Manila) to cast ballots in elections that are headed for a photo finish with Liberal Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's bid for a third term threatened by rookie Conservative leader Erin O'Toole's strong challenge.

Because the race is so close and due to a significant number of mail-in ballots, the final result may not be known until Tuesday morning.
