All Canadian political parties vow to topple Trudeau government regardless of resignation
From LifeSiteNews
All major political parties, including the Conservative Party, the New Democratic Party and Bloc Québécois are renewing the call for an early election.
Every major political party in Canada has promised to bring an election as soon as possible regardless of Trudeau’s resignation.
Following Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s resignation announcement yesterday, all major political parties, including the Conservative Party, the New Democratic Party (NDP) and Bloc Québécois are renewing the call for an early election.
“Nothing has changed,” Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre wrote on X.
“Every Liberal MP and Leadership contender supported EVERYTHING Trudeau did for 9 years, and now they want to trick voters by swapping in another Liberal face to keep ripping off Canadians for another 4 years, just like Justin,” he continued.
“The only way to fix what Liberals broke is a carbon tax election to elect common sense Conservatives who will bring home Canada’s promise,” Poilievre declared.
Likewise, NDP leader Jagmeet Singh revealed that he views Trudeau’s resignation as irrelevant as Canadians have tired of the entire Liberal Party.
“We should fire the Liberals,” he said. “They have let down Canadians. They need to get fired.”
“Why not give the government a few more months?” a reporter questioned.
“It does not matter who is chosen as the next Liberal leader,” replied Singh. “They have let you down. They do not deserve another chance. As soon as there is a confidence vote New Democrats will be voting against the government and then we will have an election.”
For the past years, the NDP have been propping up the Trudeau government, which only won a minority government in the last election. So far, every time Conservatives have put forward a non-confidence motion, NDP MPs have voted against it, with the most recent vote taking place on December 9.
However, Singh has since promised to put forward his own non-confidence motion to bring down the Trudeau government in 2025.
Additionally, Bloc Québécois leader Yves-François Blanchet told media that Trudeau’s resignation did not shake his determination to bring down the Liberal government.
“We are beyond that,” he said. “Now is the time for an election which I understand will be held after the Liberal Party has chosen a new leader. There is nothing else to be taken into consideration at this point.”
“There is no possible way for this Liberal Party to become something else in a few weeks,” said Blanchet. “We are facing the same people with the same values, the same ideology. We have to go to an election.”
As it stands, Trudeau has suspended Parliament until March 24, meaning that the Liberal government cannot be brought down during this time. This maneuver buys the Liberal Party a couple months’ time to select a new leader and rebrand their government.
However, the selection of a new leader may not be enough to convince Canadians that the party will not continue Trudeau’s anti-life and anti-freedom legacy.
Indeed, as LifeSiteNews previously reported, each of the possible contenders for Liberal leader is set to plunge Canada into another term of anti-freedom laws

The Conservative Party leader promised that the country will not be annexed by ‘economic force’ as threatened by U.S. President-elect Donald Trump.
Conservative Party of Canada leader Pierre Poilievre, and likely soon be the next Prime Minister, said the nation will “never” become a U.S. “state” in a firm rebuke to U.S. President-elect Donald Trump, who threatened to annex Canada by “economic force.”
In a statement posted Tuesday to X, Poilievre shot back at Trump’s loose remarks that Canada would become the 51st state, saying he will “put Canada first.”
“Canada will never be the 51st state. Period. We are a great and independent country,” Poilievre wrote in his statement.
“We are a great and independent country. We are the best friend to the U.S. We spent billions of dollars and hundreds of lives helping Americans retaliate against Al-Qaeda’s 9/11 attacks. We supply the U.S. with billions of dollars of high-quality and totally reliable energy well below market prices. We buy hundreds of billions of dollars of American goods.”
Poilievre added that when it comes to Canada on the world stage being perceived as weak, it’s due to “Our weak and pathetic NDP-Liberal government has failed to make these obvious points.”
“I will fight for Canada. When I am Prime Minister, we will rebuild our military and take back control of the border to secure both Canada and the U.S. We will take back control of our Arctic to keep Russia and China out,” he wrote.
Trump, speaking Tuesday from Mar-a-Lago, said rather brazenly he was considering using “economic force” to make Canada the 51st U.S. state.
He claimed that there is a $200 billion trade deficit between Canada and the U.S. regarding spending on “subsidies” and the fact the U.S. military is there to also “protect Canada.”
Trump’s remarks set off a firestorm of commentary on X from leftist and right-leaning Canadians alike.
However, Canadians are firmly opposed to the idea of their nation ever becoming a new U.S. state. A recent poll show that Canadians overwhelmingly reject the idea of Canada ever becoming the “51st state” as Trump said. In total, 82 percent are opposed to the idea, with 13 percent being in favor.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who announced Monday that he intends to resign as Liberal Party leader and thus PM, had this to say regarding Trump’s comments.
“There isn’t a snowball’s chance in hell that Canada would become part of the United States. Workers and communities in both our countries benefit from being each other’s biggest trading and security partner,” he wrote Tuesday on X.
As for Trudeau, he was approved by Governor General Mary Simon to prorogue parliament until March 24. This means, for the time being, he is still serving as PM, but all parliamentary business has been stopped.
The Liberal Party will now hold a leadership race to choose a new leader, who will by default become Canada’s next Prime Minister.
From the Canadian Taxpayers Federation
By Devin Drover
The Canadian Taxpayers Federation is demanding the Canada Revenue Agency to immediately halt enforcement of the proposed capital gains tax hike which has not passed a final vote in Parliament.
“The CRA is trying to enforce a tax increase without it ever becoming law,” said Devin Drover, CTF General Counsel and Atlantic Director. “Taxation should only be based on laws duly passed by elected representatives and not assumptions by unelected, unaccountable bureaucrats.”
The controversy stems from a proposal by the Trudeau government to raise the capital gains inclusion rate for the first time in 25 years. While a ways and means motion for the hike passed last year, the necessary legislation was never introduced, debated or passed.
But now that Parliament has prorogued, the tax hike is stalled until March 24, 2025, when the House of Commons resumes. Given promises from both the Conservatives and the NDP to bring down the Liberal government, it’s unlikely the legislation will pass before the next election.
Despite this, the CRA continues to move forward with enforcing the tax hike.
“It’s a central role of Parliament to vote on tax hikes before the government takes more money from you,” Drover said. “It’s wrong for the prime minister and CRA to treat your elected representative like a rubberstamp.
“The CRA must immediately halt plans to enforce legislation that hasn’t been passed and will undemocratically cost Canadians billions.”
