The Canadian election campaign is off to a flying start, even if Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s plane was grounded by a scraped wing.

Mr Trudeau had launched the 40-day federal election campaign that day.

He flew his branded campaign plane across the country to the west coast where the mishap occurred.

The prime minister was not on the just-landed aircraft at the time of the prang.
