  • 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.
  • While prime ministers often seek out these decisions as an election nears, they  add to gloom over Trudeau’s ability to avoid his own party pushing him out. Two prominent ministers also left in the last few months, his top deputies for the provinces of Quebec and Newfoundland.
  • 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. MP Sean Casey says voters in his riding have 'tuned Justin Trudeau out' (CBC); The Liberals’ naked disdain for Parliament is showing (Globe)
  • Trudeau tells foreign interference hearing he has seen evidence that some unidentified Conservative lawmakers may be compromised.
  • 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.
  • Bloc Quebecois says if expanded seniors' benefits aren't put into law by Oct. 29 they will stop supporting the government, leaving only the NDP keeping the minority Liberals in power.
  • Government has yet to schedule a fall fiscal update that normally contains tax measures requiring a confidence vote, and it has several other confidence votes due before breaking for Christmas.
