If the prime minister was resigning, one Liberal insider said, using decidedly unparliamentary language to emphasize the point, there's no way he would do it on the same day as his father.
Trudeau accused Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre of "spreading lies" about the Liberal government's upcoming online harms legislation — even while supporting a bill that would create online restrictions.
The prime minister says he feels a deep responsibility to fulfil the promises he made, particularly to young people, about climate change, reconciliation, human rights and job creation.
Pierre Poilievre may have a double-digit lead in the polls, but his preposterously petulant behaviour last week showed he's still his own biggest enemy — and why that lead could easily evaporate in the months to come.
The Conservative Party of Canada leader doesn’t have to behave like a petulant jackass, in other words. But with Poilievre, it seems, petulance is the point.
India reportedly wants 41 of 62 Canadian diplomats out of the country by early next week — a striking, if largely anticipated, deepening of the rift that erupted last month following Trudeau's explosive allegations in the House of Commons.
Yet while Trudeau is urging India to take the matter seriously, Liberals also say they hope to maintain normal ties with a country Ottawa has selected as a key partner in the Indo-Pacific.
