Prime Minister Justin Trudeau visits Montreal as questions swirl about his leadership of the Liberal Party
In Quebec, the Liberals are hoping to hold the LaSalle—Émard—Verdun riding, which became vacant when former justice minister David Lametti resigned from politics. The Liberals have put forward Montreal city councillor Laura Palestini as their candidate, though her nomination raised controversy last week after Trudeau handpicked her to run despite three other contenders having campaigned for months for a nomination contest that never came.
The Conservatives have picked Louis Ialenti, who the party describes as a “common-sense small business owner.” The NDP, meanwhile, have chosen another Montreal municipal councillor, Craig Sauvé, while the Bloc Quebecois has not yet named their candidate.Jasper damage map released as park’s largest wildfire in 100 years rages
