Trudeau In Trouble After Conservative Upset In Toronto "Must-Win" Special Election

Two years ago, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau declared war on conservatives - invoking the Emergencies Act to punish protesting truckers in a move that was ruled flatly unconstitutional in January.

Now, his political future is on the line after the ruling liberal party lost a key 'safe seat' in the Toronto-St. Paul's special election.

In an upset victory, Conservative candidate Don Stewart beat Liberal Leslie Church by a slim, but hugely significant 590 votes, dislodging a seat that the governing Liberals have held for more than 30 years.

In response to the win, Conservative leader Pierre Poilivere demanded Trudeau call a snap election following what he called a "shocking upset" on social media Tuesday morning.
