The House of Commons assistant deputy speaker said he has heard from multiple constituents that the current prime minister is no longer the right man for the job.

A Liberal MP who serves as the assistant deputy speaker of the House of Commons has become the first in the party to publicly call for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to resign, saying directly that he is not the “right leader” for the party.

The call for Trudeau to step down came from Liberal MP Alexandra Mendès, who is from Quebec’s Brossard-St. Lambert riding. In an interview with Radio Canada on Monday, Mendès said directly, “My constituents do not see Mr. Trudeau as the person who should carry the Party into the next election and that’s the message that I carry.”

“I didn’t hear from two, three people. I heard it from dozens and dozens of people. He is no longer the right leader,” she said.

Mendès said that as she listens to her constituents, which is what “supposedly what we’re meant to do,” then “yes, I have to say we would have to change leadership.”

The Trudeau resignation call comes amid dismal polling numbers for Trudeau as well as losing support from the socialist New Democratic Party (NDP) to keep him in power. NDP leader Jagmeet Singh pulled his official support for Trudeau’s Liberals last week.

Late last month, Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre called on Singh to pull his support for Trudeau’s Liberals in order for an election to be held.

Recent polls show that the Conservatives under Poilievre would win a majority government in a landslide were an election held today. Singh’s NDP and Trudeau’s Liberals would lose a massive number of seats.

As for Trudeau, his woes continue to mount. LifeSiteNews recently reported how the national elections campaign director for Canada’s federal Liberal Party announced he was stepping down because, according to sources close to the party, he does not think Trudeau can with a fourth consecutive election.

Conservatives plan non-confidence vote against Trudeau gov’t next week, setting up possible fall election

Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre said ‘it’s time to put forward a motion for a carbon tax election’

The Conservative Party of Canada (CPC) will bring a motion of non-confidence in the House of Commons as early as next week, it has now been confirmed by party leader Pierre Poilievre.

Speaking with reporters today in Ottawa, Poilievre confirmed that a confidence motion will soon be introduced.

“It’s time to put forward a motion for a carbon tax election,” he said, adding that an election is needed because the Trudeau Liberals plan to raise the carbon tax another 300 percent in the coming years.

“Canadians can vote to axe the tax, build the homes, fix the budget, and stop the crime with a common-sense Conservative government.”

CPC Branden Leslie on X today confirmed the forthcoming confidence motion as well.

“It’s official that next week, Conservatives will introduce a motion of non-confidence in the House of Commons,” he said.

“Please SHARE this post to send the NDP a message that Canadians want a carbon tax election NOW!”

The text of the non-confidence motion will read, “The House has no confidence in the Prime Minister and the Government.”

An earlier report from the Toronto Star said sources let it be known that Trudeau’s government will let a confidence motion proceed as early as September 24. On this day, Poilievre will be allowed to have full control of the House’s agenda and introduce motions at will.

The confidence motion comes after Trudeau lost support from the socialist NDP to keep him in power. Singh pulled his official support for Trudeau’s Liberals two weeks ago. However, in recent days he has been mum on whether he will vote for or against the Liberals when a vote occurs.

The Trudeau Liberals have also lost two recent byelections, one in Quebec and the other in Ontario, in what were considered “safe” Liberal ridings.

The most recent loss suggests that Trudeau’s Liberal government is indeed hanging on by a thread, according to all recent polls that have shown that Poilievre’s Conservative Party is set to win big when the next federal election takes place.

The souring of voters to the Liberal Party under Trudeau comes at the same time that even some of his MPs are turning on him. Last week, LifeSiteNews reported that Liberal MP Alexandra Mendès, who serves as the assistant deputy speaker of the House of Commons, became the first in the party to publicly call for Trudeau to resign, saying directly that he is not the “right leader” for the party.
