Justin Trudeau survives a second parliamentary confidence vote

House of Commons defeats oppositional Conservative party’s bid to topple Canadian prime minister’s reign

Justin Trudeau, Canada’s prime minister, has survived a second parliamentary confidence motion in less than a week after opposition parties vowed to keep his minority Liberal government alive for now.

Legislators in the House of Commons voted 207-121 to defeat a bid by the official opposition Conservative party to topple Trudeau, who faces increasing voter fatigue after almost nine years in power.
