Buoyed by favourable polls, a cost of living crisis and an increasingly unpopular prime minister, Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre introduces a motion of non-confidence in the minority government.
The attack underscores the fragile state of Canada's governing party and the raw political calculation leaders are making as they jockey for position before the next federal election.
Poilievre's Tories are at 42% support, while the Liberals are at 24%. This reflects a significant change in the political landscape since the last election.
Trudeau is deeply unpopular in his ninth year as prime minister, facing calls to step down to prevent an embarrassing electoral loss that could push his party to third place.
