MARKHAM, Ontario - Two former ministers who quit Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government this year over his handling of a scandal said on Monday they would run as independents in an election this October.

Trudeau, facing the biggest crisis of his tenure, later kicked them out of the ruling Liberal caucus, citing their lack of support. That said, if one or both of them succeed, they could have some influence. Polls indicate the result of the election might well be a minority government, which means the prime minister will need the support of legislators from outside his party to govern.
