CTV News' Michael Stittle and pollster Nik Nanos break down the latest ballot tracking from Nanos Research – Pierre Poilievre's Conservative Party is still far ahead but the Justin Trudeau's Liberals have seen a slight bump.

Trudeau will face a key test in a byelection in Toronto. Nik explains how it could end up being both a referendum on the Liberal Party and the prime minister's leadership.

Nik also has the results of a recent survey done on who Canadians would prefer to be leading the Liberal Party – He breaks it down.

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre and his party opposed the Liberals' plan to increase Canada's capital gains inclusion rate, in a vote that still passed with the backing of the NDP and Bloc Quebecois.

How do Canadians feel about the changes? Nik explains what he's seeing from the data.

    I can't wait to vote against Trudeau. I hope we still have a country by then.
  • @NoGattsuNoGlory
    Toronto, its on you to send a message to Trudeau...tell him to resign
  • @masseymm
    the fact that Liberal supporters even still exist proves without a shadow of doubt that mental incompetence is still an issue here in Canada
  • @yamanotakeshi
    One thing is clear, my vote will never go to the Liberals in next, next and next elections.
  • @ukie5130
    Trudeau and his liberal clowns are done regardless of your polling Nanos.
  • @i6n57
    Never vote liberal for rest of my life
  • @250GW785
    I hope the liberals loose, Trudeau has lost my confidence too many scandals and taxes.
  • @mickfoley1413
    How anyone would vote liberal is beyond me. I've voted Liberal most of my life. I'm done with them.
  • Trudeau and his cabinet have destroyed the liberal brand. There isn't anybody in that party that would do better. And a big NO to Mark Carney.
  • @bejoyful
    A vote for NDP, Green is a Trudeau vote.
  • @HypocriticYT
    No seats for liberals and no tax dollars paying their wages 😂
  • @mimo5853
    Let’s not try to measure Trudeau’s popularity with a Toronto by election. Instead, Trudeau should call a federal election and find out exactly what Canadians think of him, his party and his coalition with the NDP. This coalition government needs to be swept into the dustbin of history!
  • @drd4059
    Homer Simpson will be an improvement on Trudeau as leader.
  • @TheJinJang
    My coworker is from India. I am from South Korea. We both are Canadian citizens but whatever the reason he supports Liberal while I don't. I know alot of immigrants support Liberal but I do not. The way they are guiding this country I call my home isn't the way used to be. I will be voting for Conservatives this time so pls call the election today!!
  • @paulat8444

    "Trudeau vs Poilievre: Toronto byelection could be 'referendum' on PM." We don't need a "referendum on [the] PM"; it should be fairly obvious to anyone that he is almost universally despised -- he has been described by more than a few commentators as the worst PM in Canadian history.
