For Canadians who bypass nightly newscasts and head straight to late-night American TV, there was Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on the Late Show with Stephen Colbert, making the case for Canada. Or more to the point, for himself and his party as it faces down the barrel of a non-confidence motion in the House of Commons this week.

Conservative rival Pierre Poilievre, who introduced the motion, is far ahead in opinion polls and itching for a snap election.

— NDP Leader JAGMEET SINGH will speak in the House at 11:30 a.m. on the Conservatives’ Opposition Day motion. He’ll talk to journalists at 2 p.m., just before tucking into QP.

There’ll be no polling on the matter, but a quick perusal of social media and comment sections would suggest Canadians are mostly split on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on Monday night.
