MNI (OTTAWA)
  • PM Justin Trudeau faces Liberal lawmakers Wed amid reports from CBC and Globe and Mail a group of them will ask him to resign as prime minister.
  • Ministers Dan Vandal, Carla Qualtrough and Filomena Tassi said Thursday they won’t compete in the next election. Radio-Canada reported a fourth minister is doing the same.

  • Sample headlines: Liberal MPs will present official demand for Trudeau to resign in coming days, sources say (Globe); Liberal backbencher calls on Justin Trudeau to resign as Liberal leader; P.E.I.

  • Budget office says deficits are coming in larger than government's promise to keep them under CAD40 billion.
  • Polling aggregator 338Canada shows Conservatives likely to win a majority government if an election were held now.
