No photos of Trudeau on campaign signs in Montreal riding ahead of byelection

One familiar face is conspicuously absent from a federal byelection campaign in Montreal that could have major implications for the Liberal government. As candidates embark on the home stretch of the campaign in LaSalle Émard Verdun, their election signs are everywhere at major intersections, on side streets, fixed to lampposts, beneath stop signs. Alongside photos of the candidates are images of their leaders: Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre, smiling against a backdrop of a Canadian flag; Bloc Québécois Leader Yves-François Blanchet, smiling against a pale blue backdrop; NDP Leader J

It was called a confidence and supply agreement. The move puts Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s minority at risk of falling at any time in the coming weeks or months if it loses any confidence votes, which could trigger a snap election as soon as this fall. "Justin Trudeau has proven again and again he will always cave to corporate greed. The Liberals have let people down. They don't deserve
