Bloc Québécois leader announces he will not work to keep Trudeau Liberals in power
From LifeSiteNews
Bloc Québécois leader Yves-François Blanchet has announced that he will not work to keep Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in power.
In a September 11 interview, Bloc Québécois leader Yves-François Blanchet denied rumors that his Quebec separatist party would be forming a collation with Trudeau, declaring that he has no interest in keeping the Liberals in power.
“Let there be no ambiguity here,” said Blanchet. “We are not here to artificially extend the mandate of a Liberal government nor to promote the election of a Conservative government. We are here to work in the interests of Québecers.”
“It is none of my business what the Liberals do or don’t do,” he said, adding that there is little “left of the leadership of Mr. Trudeau.”
Blanchet’s statement seems to contradict Bloc House leader Alain Therrien, who hinted that a Bloc-Liberal deal could happen, saying that the party’s “objectives remain the same, but the means to get there will be much easier.”
“We will negotiate and seek gains for Quebec … our balance of power has improved, that’s for sure,” he added.
If a Bloc-Liberal deal were to be made, the Liberals would have enough votes to stave off a non-confidence motion and remain in power until the fall of 2025 when an election is mandated by law.
Until recently, the New Democratic Party (NDP) had worked with the minority Liberal government to support Trudeau. Through this agreement, the NDP had on a number of occasions voted against non-confidence motions brought forth by the Conservative Party, keeping Trudeau in power.
However, in a surprising move last week, NDP leader Jagmeet Singh pulled his official support for Trudeau’s Liberals.
This decision came after Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre called on Singh to pull his support for Trudeau’s Liberals so that an election could be held this year. Singh, however, has denied that his decision was influenced by the continued pressure by Poilievre.
Since then, rumors of an upcoming election have swirled around Parliament, along with internal calls from Liberals to have Trudeau to step down.
Just last week, 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 win a fourth consecutive election.
Similarly, yesterday, 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.
Recent polls show that the Conservatives under Poilievre would win a majority government in a landslide in an election held today. Singh’s NDP and Trudeau’s Liberals would lose a massive number of seats.

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.
While it is traditional confidence motions are used mainly when it comes to budget, they can also be brought forth for other reasons as well. The CPC will need the support of Jagmeet Singh’s New Democratic Party (NDP) at a minimum and the Bloc Québécois. Should the initial motion or any others pass, Trudeau will have no choice but to dissolve parliament, which would trigger a general election, most likely in November.
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.
New documentary produced by the Canadian Centre For Responsible Drug Policy features a 25-year-old student who purchased thousands of diverted “safer supply” opioids.
The Centre For Responsible Drug Policy, parent organization of Break The Needle, has launched its first mini-documentary: “Government Heroin.” The film follows the story of Callum Bagnall, a 25-year-old student from London, Ontario, who purchased thousands of opioid pills diverted from government-funded “safer supply” programs. Callum recounts how rampant fraud has turned these programs into a an abject disaster, leading to new addictions and immense profits for organized crime.
The film also features Joanne, his anxious mother, as well as Dr. Janel Gracey, an addiction physician whose clinical experiences make it obvious that safer supply is causing a wave of relapses and getting teenagers hooked on “government heroin.”
