Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau expels from party ranks two former Cabinet members he says have undermined the ruling Liberals.
Ms Philpott quit shortly afterward, saying she had lost confidence in how Mr Trudeau was handling the matter.
The expulsion represented a change of course for Mr Trudeau, who said as recently as last week that the Liberals needed strong legislators with differing points of view. The photogenic Canadian PM's honeymoon appears to be over, with a number of commentators wondering just why he went to India and played dress-ups without yielding anything of note for Canada, writes Micheline Maynard.Ms Philpott said on Facebook that she"did not initiate the crisis now facing the party or the Prime Minister … it appears that the caucus is intent on staying the current course, regardless of its short-term and long-term consequences".

Labor should preference Liberals ahead of 'reckless and irresponsible' Greens: Cormann | Sky News AustraliaFinance Minister Mathias Cormann has called out Opposition leader Bill Shorten amid recent debates over voting preferences.\n\nIt comes after both Labor and the Coalition said they would put One Nation bellow their major party rivals when an undercover Al Jazeera investigation uncovered representatives of One Nation vying for donations from the US gun lobby in exchange for relaxed gun laws in Australia. \n\nMr Cormann says he supports the Prime Minister's move on preferencing One Nation beneath Labor '100 per cent' but says it's now a question of what Mr Shorten will do with the Greens.\n\nThe Finance Minister says the Labor leader should put the Greens behind the Liberal Party in its preferences unless he supports the 'reckless and irresponsible policies' of the Greens that 'undermine our national and economic security'.\n\nImage: News Corp Australia\n\n\n\n
