The Facts

  • On Wednesday, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau successfully fended off a vote of no-confidence. The proposal failed because opposition leader Pierre Poilievre was unable to win over the New Democratic Party (NDP) and Bloc Québécois leaders.

  • In public opinion polls, Pierre Poilievre, the Conservative Party leader, is in the lead and has expressed interest in a snap election after the NDP terminated its coalition agreement with the Liberals, leaving the Trudeau administration vulnerable.
