Poilievre said that it is “put up or shut up time for the NDP” under its leader Jagmeet Singh, who pulled his official support for Trudeau’s Liberals on September 4. 

Leader of Canada’s Conservative Party Pierre Poilievre said that at the “earliest possible opportunity” he will bring forth a non-confidence motion against Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government which, if successful, would force an immediate election. 

“I’m announcing the common-sense Conservatives will put forward a non-confidence motion at the earliest possible opportunity,” said Poilievre to reporters at a press conference in Ottawa Wednesday.  

Poilievre said that it is “put up or shut up time for the NDP” under its leader Jagmeet Singh, who pulled his official support for Trudeau’s Liberals on September 4. 

“If you’re pulling out, you have to vote non-confidence. If you don’t, you’re still in the agreement, no matter what your video stunt would have everyone else believe,” said Poilievre. 

He then questioned whether the NDP will vote non-confidence to “bring down the costly coalition and trigger a carbon tax election,” or if Singh instead will “sell out Canadians again?” 

For a non-confidence motion to be successful, Poilievre will need the direct support of both the NDP and separatist Bloc Québécois.  

Parliament is set to resume sitting next week.  

As reported by LifeSiteNews, the Bloc Québécois recently hinted that an alliance between the separatist party and the Liberals under Trudeau could become a reality. However, Bloc leader Yves-François Blanchet has since flip-flopped and said this would not be the case. 

As for Singh, on Wednesday he would not commit to voting with the Conservatives, instead saying he would “make a determination of what’s in the best interest of Canadians.” 

The most recent poll, which was taken after Singh terminated his agreement with Trudeau, shows that were an election held today, Poilievre’s Conservatives would grab 51 percent of voters in Ontario alone, the highest number ever recorded.

Canada-wide, 45 percent of Canadians said they would vote Conservative, with the Liberals coming in at second place with 25 percent, followed by the NDP at 15 percent

Trump fires chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staff, appoints new military leader

President Donald Trump announced Friday the dismissal of General Charles Brown, the current Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump expressed his gratitude toward Brown for his extensive contributions and leadership, wishing him and his family a prosperous future. Brown’s departure marks a pivotal moment in U.S. military leadership following over 40 years of service.

“I want to thank General Charles “CQ” Brown for his over 40 years of service to our country, including as our current Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. He is a fine gentleman and an outstanding leader, and I wish a great future for him and his family,” Trump wrote.

Simultaneously, Trump introduced his nominee for Brown’s successor.

“Today, I am honored to announce that I am nominating Air Force Lieutenant General Dan “Razin” Caine to be the next Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. General Caine is an accomplished pilot, national security expert, successful entrepreneur, and a “warfighter” with significant interagency and special operations experience,” Trump said.

Trump said Caine’s appointment comes after he was overlooked for advancement during former President Joe Biden’s presidency.

“General Caine was passed over for promotion by Sleepy Joe Biden. But not anymore! Alongside Secretary Pete Hegseth, General Caine and our military will restore peace through strength, put America First, and rebuild our military,” Trump said. President Trump also announced plans to appoint five additional senior military officials, tasks he has delegated to Secretary Hegseth.

It was reported Thursday that Hegseth plans to dismiss Brown as part of President Trump’s commitment to eliminate “wokeness” from the military. Brown reportedly appears on a list of proposed removals submitted to Congress.

Brown had previously expressed his wish to retain his position even after Trump took office, and according to sources speaking to NBC News in Dec. 2024, Trump seemingly moderated his views on the general. Biden nominated Brown as chairman in 2023, and despite a heated confirmation hearing where senators scrutinized his alleged implementation of racial quotas in Air Force hiring practices, he was confirmed.

Meanwhile, Brown’s replacement, Caine, took office as the associate director for Military Affairs at the CIA on Nov. 3, 2021, after serving as the director of Special Programs at the Pentagon. Lt. Gen. Dan Caine, an F-16 pilot with extensive experience including over 150 combat hours, was commissioned in 1990 and has held numerous key roles, from the White House staff to special operations, and balances his military career with entrepreneurial ventures.
