By Julie Gordon VANCOUVER (Reuters) – Organizers of two key strategic voting campaigns in Canada are throwing most of their support to the center-left Liberals, who lead the ruling Conservatives in polls and may also benefit from a bandwagon effect in the final days of the tight campaign. Both Leadnow, a non-profit group funded through individual donations, and website strategicvoting.ca have seen support grow as sentiment against Prime Minister Stephen Harper and his 10-year-old government builds and Liberal leader Justin Trudeau opens up a lead in opinion polls.

The bill introduced by the Conservative government on Friday would give the spy agency, the Canadian Security Intelligence Service, the ability to disrupt attacks by interfering with travel plans or communications, for example. The bill, whose passage is assured because the Conservatives have a majority in Parliament, would also make it easier for police to make preventive arrests.
