OTTAWA—Justin Trudeau wound up a three−day Liberal convention Saturday with a partisan speech that sounded much like the launch of an election campaign.

While the prime minister has insisted he has no interest in plunging the country into an election in the midst of the deadly  third wave of COVID−19, his speech was aimed at positioning the governing Liberals as the only party with “real solutions to the real problems” facing Canadians.
