NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh announced today that he will not move a motion of no confidence to bring down the Liberal government, provided that the government passes a support package for workers in Parliament. Singh emphasized that, for him, the priority is ensuring the well-being of workers.

Trudeau's role in managing the US trade war has come back into the spotlight, with several reports praising his efforts in standing up for Canadians.
