Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government on Monday survived a third vote of no confidence in as many months, brought by his main Tory rival.
The minority Liberal government got the support of the New Democratic Party (NDP), a small leftist faction once aligned with the ruling Liberals, to defeat the motion 180-152.
The text of the proposition echoed NDP leader Jagmeet Singh’s own past criticisms of Trudeau since breaking off their partnership in late August, calling him “too weak, too selfish”.
Neither Singh nor Trudeau were present for the vote.
