‘I’m not going anywhere’: Justin Trudeau says he won’t resign if Liberals lose Montreal byelection

OTTAWA — A combative Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Friday he’s not going to resign as Liberal leader if his party loses a high-stakes Montreal byelection on Monday, the same day his minority government is slated to return to Parliament without the NDP promising to prop it up.

In an interview on the Montreal radio station CJAD 800, Trudeau said he will stay on regardless of the result in LaSalle—Émard—Verdun, a riding held by the Liberals’ former justice minister David Lametti from 2015 until he resigned from federal politics earlier this year.
