Justin Trudeau delivered an election-style speech to more than 400 supporters in which he attacked Prime Minister Stephen Harper for catering to the rich while, he said, the Liberals would cater to the middle class and those in need.

"We care about helping-hard working Canadians make ends meet. That is our priority," the 43-year-old Liberal leader told a rally at the Punjab Cultural Centre this evening.

Local Liberals are optimistic they can improve their local seat total in the general election, set for this October.

Of Manitobas 14 MPs, only one is a Liberal Kevin Lamoureux in Winnipeg North.

But the party which now stands a distant third to the Conservatives and the NDP with 35 of 308 House of Commons seats has seen a resurgence in popularity since Trudeau became leader in April 2013.
