Canadian PM Trudeau's government survives no-confidence vote with NDP support, amid budgetary filibuster.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's minority Liberal government survived a third no-confidence vote, thanks to support from the New Democratic Party (NDP). The Conservatives' motion, which cited NDP leader Jagmeet Singh's criticism of the Liberals, failed with a vote of 180-152. The House also voted on an NDP motion to expand the GST break and a $250 "working Canadians rebate" to include seniors and those on disability benefits, but this was defeated. The vote comes amid a two-month filibuster by the Conservatives and a deadline to approve $21.6 billion in government spending for social programs.
