There are thousands of special and advance vote ballots to come, including in some of the seats with razor-thin margins. In Hamilton East, for example, there are still 4,800 special ballots left to count. Same can be said for Windsor-Tecumseh — 3,500 ballots left to count there.

P.E.I. MP Heath MacDonald is also telling me he wants Trudeau to go. That makes 18 MPs calling for a leadership change -- so far: #cdnpoli.

Another Liberal has joined the growing list of MPs who want Trudeau to go. MP Sophie Chatel tells me it's time for him to step aside as leader. "I believe it is in the best interest of both the party and the country for the prime minister to initiate a leadership change.".
