TORONTO (Reuters) - Canada's main opposition Conservative Party was criticized by some of its own members on Saturday for a "tasteless" ad put out targeting Liberal Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, a day before he is expected to call an election in the hope of securing a majority in Parliament.

"The only reason for an election is because Trudeau wants a majority," reads the tagline of the 37-second ad released on Friday.
