OTTAWA (Reuters) - Canada's Liberal Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Wednesday accused his Conservative rival of running a nasty and divisive campaign just days before voters head to the polls in a tight election race.

"The Conservative party is running one of the dirtiest, nastiest campaigns based on disinformation that we've ever seen in this country," Trudeau told reporters during a campaign stop in Montreal.
