    Canada will hold elections next October; conservatives could lose office

    PM Harper says only he can be trusted to run an economy struggling to cope with after-effects of a global economic slowdown and a plunge in the price of oil

    Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper has called a parliamentary election for Oct. 19, kicking off a marathon 11-week campaign likely to focus on a stubbornly sluggish economy and his decade in power. Polls indicate Harper's right-of-center Conservative Party, which has been in office since 2006, could well lose its majority in the House of Commons.
