HALIFAX—Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government is being pushed by backbenchers and grassroots Liberals to take a more progressive stance on issues such as pharmacare, prostitution and illegal drugs. “I think it’s so important that Liberals own this issue, we don’t let the NDP own it. We need to own it as Liberals, it’s got to come out of this convention as the No. But Toronto MP Nathaniel Erskine-Smith urged grassroots Liberals not to take no for an answer. And inside, Natural Resources Minister Jim Carr acknowledged that some Liberals are also likely uneasy about the pipeline.
