Lawyers for Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou are back in a Vancouver court today amid a swirl of speculation over a proposed plea agreement with the United States.

A Wall Street Journal report said US officials were discussing an agreement that would see Meng admit some guilt over allegations she violated American sanctions against Iran, charges she's always denied.

Today's BC Supreme Court hearing was scheduled to gather evidence based on her lawyer's claims of an abuse of process by police and Canada Border Services agents when she was arrested two years ago.

Meng's arrest at the Vancouver airport has created friction between Canada and China, however Canadian officials aren't commenting on the reports of the plea deal.

Elections Canada says more than 19.2M voters cast a ballot in federal election

Elections Canada says more than 67 per cent of eligible voters cast a ballot in the federal election more than 19.2 million people. While this election was widely expected to see increased turnout, it did not surpass the record set in March 1958, when 79.4 per cent of eligible electors voted. But turnout was higher than in the last federal election, when 62.6 per cent of eligible voters headed to the polls. With votes still being counted, voter turnout still has some room to climb. The Liberal party is currently leading with 43.6 per cent of the total vote and is set to hold 168 seats, while t
