Official petition to oust Trudeau surpasses 370k signatures

From LifeSiteNews
‘This isn’t just a petition; it’s a battle cry from the heart of Canada, a nation known for its resilience, politeness, and, above all, its love for freedom and democracy,’ wrote Canadian journalist Dan Knight.
Canadians could replace Prime Minister Justin Trudeau this Christmas season as hundreds of thousands call for a no-confidence vote.
December 24, Christmas Eve, marks the closing date for a petition demanding a vote of no confidence and election call against Trudeau and his Liberal government. The appeal has already been signed by 371,169 Canadians across the country as of this writing.
“With just four days left until Christmas, Canadians across the country might be on the cusp of witnessing what could only be described as a political Christmas miracle,” Canadian journalist Dan Knight wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.

“As families gather around festive lights and Christmas trees, a different kind of gathering is taking place – a gathering of voices, hundreds of thousands strong, united in their call for a vote of no confidence against Prime Minister Justin Trudeau,” he continued.
The petition has received overwhelming support by Canadians who are standing up for their freedoms which have been taken away and limited by Trudeau and his government.
“This isn’t just any petition,” Knight added. “It’s a historic movement, the likes of which Canada has never seen before, and its closing date – December 24, 2023 – couldn’t be more symbolic. In a season known for hope, change, and miracles, e-4701 embodies the collective aspiration of Canadians for a shift in their political landscape.”
“This isn’t just a petition; it’s a battle cry from the heart of Canada, a nation known for its resilience, politeness, and, above all, its love for freedom and democracy,” he declared.
The official petition, titled petition e-4701, was initiated by Peterborough, Ontario resident Melissa Outwater and sponsored by Conservative MP Michelle Ferreri.
It reads, “We, the undersigned, citizens and residents of Canada, call upon the House of Commons to call for a vote of no confidence and a federal election 45 days following the vote.”
Petitions to Canada’s House of Commons can be started by anyone but must have the support of five Canadian citizens or residents along with the support of a sitting MP.
Once a petition has more than 500 verified signatures, it is presented to the House of Commons, where it awaits an official government response.
The stipulations the petition lays out for the vote of no confidence to take place reads: “The citizens of Canada have lost confidence in Justin Trudeau and the Liberal/NDP coalition. We call on the house for a vote of no confidence. We ask for an election 45 days after the vote if won.”
The petition stipulates that the current Liberal government under Trudeau is “not acting in the best interest of all citizens” due to its ideologically charged agenda of going after people’s “civil liberties” and “unbalanced immigration policies.”
“The policies of this government aren’t aligning with the crisis Canada is facing: housing costs, infringement of civil liberties, highest inflation in history, unbalanced immigration policies, taxation to the point of poverty, weakening of our economy by importing natural resources that Canada already has and under-utilizes,” it reads.
Additionally, the petition states that after over eight years with Trudeau in charge, Canadians are losing confidence in his leadership, especially “after five ethics investigations” have had to be conducted.
As a result, the petition states that Canada’s “reputation” is “being tarnished on a global scale under his leadership.”
Recent polls show that the Trudeau Liberals’ scandal-plagued government’s popularity has taken a nosedive with no end in sight.
Per a recent LifeSiteNews report, according to polls, were a Canadian federal election held today the Conservatives under leader Pierre Poilievre would win a majority in the House of Commons over Trudeau’s Liberals.
Trudeau’s popularity has been falling and his government has been embroiled in scandal after scandal, the latest being a controversy around a three-year carbon tax “pause” he announced on home heating oil, but only in Atlantic Canadian provinces.
Even top Liberal party stalwarts have called for him to resign.
However, the New Democratic Party (NDP) has an informal coalition with Trudeau that began last year, agreeing to support and keep the Liberals in power until the next election is mandated by law in 2025. Until the NDP decides to break ranks with the Liberals, an early election call is unlikely.
While the petition will close December 24, it will not be presented to Parliament until January 29, 2024. After the petition is presented, Trudeau and his government will have 45 days to respond.

Carney’s budget means more debt than Trudeau’s

The Canadian Taxpayers Federation is criticizing Liberal Party Leader Mark Carney’s budget plan for adding another $225 billion to the debt.
“Carney plans to borrow even more money than the Trudeau government planned to borrow,” said Franco Terrazzano, CTF Federal Director. “Carney claims he’s not like Trudeau and when it comes to the debt, here’s the truth: Carney’s plan is billions of dollars worse than Trudeau’s plan.”
Today, Carney released the Liberal Party’s “fiscal and costing plan.” Carney’s plan projects the debt to increase consistently.
Here is the breakdown of Carney’s annual budget deficits:
- 2025-26: $62 billion
- 2026-27: $60 billion
- 2027-28: $55 billion
- 2028-29: $48 billion
Over the next four years, Carney plans to add an extra $225 billion to the debt. For comparison, the Trudeau government planned on increasing the debt by $131 billion over those years, according to the most recent Fall Economic Statement.
Carney’s additional debt means he will waste an extra $5.6 billion on debt interest charges over the next four years. Debt interest charges already cost taxpayers $54 billion every year – more than $1 billion every week.
“Carney’s debt binge means he will waste $1 billion more every year on debt interest charges,” Terrazzano said. “Carney’s plan isn’t credible and it’s even more irresponsible than the Trudeau plan.
“After years of runaway spending Canadians need a government that will cut spending and stop wasting so much money on debt interest charges.”

Campaign 2025 : The Liberal Costed Platform – Taxpayer Funded Fiction

Dan Knight
Carney is trying to redefine the deficit by splitting it into two categories: “operating” and “capital”—a little trick borrowed from UK public finance to confuse voters and dodge political accountability. It’s not something Canada has ever used in federal budget reporting, and there’s a reason for that: it’s misleading by design.
Mark Carney, the unelected banker-turned-savior of the Liberal Party, stood on a stage at Durham College on April 19 and did what professional economic grifters do best—he smiled politely, gestured at some numbers, and attempted to sell Canadians on a $130 billion illusion.
He called it a “costed platform.” What it really was, was a pitch deck for national decline—a warmed-over slab of recycled Trudeauism, backed by deficit delusion and framed as “bold leadership.”
And yes, the numbers are real. Terrifyingly real.
The Liberal platform promises $130 billion in new spending over four years, while running deficits of $62.3 billion this year, $59.9 billion next year, and still sitting at $48 billion in the red by 2028. To balance all of this out? A magical $28 billion in “unspecified cuts.” Not outlined. Not itemized. Just floated in the air like a promise from a door-to-door vacuum salesman.
Carney, in his perfectly rehearsed banker tone, assures us it’s not spending. No, it’s “investment.” Which is hilarious, because that’s exactly what Justin Trudeau said when he kicked off a decade of reckless spending, capital flight, and housing inflation. Carney has simply pulled off the Liberal magic trick of rebranding debt as growth.
But this isn’t just fiscal mismanagement. This is coordinated, high-level dishonesty.
Let’s be clear: Mark Carney is not new to any of this. He isn’t some white knight riding in to clean up Trudeau’s mess. He is the mess. He was Trudeau’s economic consigliere. He sat in the backrooms when they passed Bill C-69, which throttled Canada’s energy sector. He championed ESG, oversaw the implosion of GFANZ (his climate finance alliance), and helped drive $500 billion in investment out of this country.
Now he’s back—wearing a new title, making the same promises, using the same playbook. Only this time, he’s brought a spreadsheet.
In one breath, Carney says we need to “diversify trade.” In the next, he’s counting on $20 billion in one-time countertariff revenues to prop up his platform. In one paragraph, he says Canada will be “fiscally responsible.” In the next, he admits the deficit will nearly double this year. He claims he’ll spend 2% of GDP on defense—but not until 2029, because, of course, there’s no urgency when you’re protected by the American military umbrella you secretly resent.
And his housing plan? If you thought things couldn’t get worse than Justin Trudeau’s housing disaster, buckle up. Carney’s solution is modular housing—yes, government-subsidized, prefabricated micro-boxes dropped onto federally controlled land.
Mark Carney will never live in modular housing. His children will never live in modular housing. But for you, the taxpayer? That’s the future he envisions—managed housing, managed economy, managed speech, managed life.
He’s not here to lift Canadians up. He’s here to lock them down—into a permanent, bureaucratically engineered middle class, dependent on state subsidies and grateful for whatever dignity Ottawa hasn’t yet taxed away.
And when asked how he’ll find the $28 billion in cuts needed to make this plan remotely plausible, his answer was priceless:
“Technology, attrition, and a review of consultant contracts.”
Translation: “We don’t know.”
And here’s where the grift goes full throttle—the accounting scam.
Carney is trying to redefine the deficit by splitting it into two categories: “operating” and “capital”—a little trick borrowed from UK public finance to confuse voters and dodge political accountability. It’s not something Canada has ever used in federal budget reporting, and there’s a reason for that: it’s misleading by design.
Here’s how it works: Carney claims that by 2028, the government will run an “operating surplus.” Sounds responsible, right? Like the books are balanced?
Wrong.
Because even while he’s claiming an “operating surplus,” the federal government will still be running a $48 billion deficit overall. That’s real debt—borrowed money the country doesn’t have.
So how does he square the circle?
Simple: he relabels infrastructure and program spending as “capital investment”, pushes it off to the side, and tells you the main budget is in good shape.
But guess what?
You still owe the money.
The debt still grows.
And interest payments still stack up.
It’s like maxing out your credit card, then saying “no problem—I only overspent on long-term purchases, not day-to-day expenses.”
Try that line with your bank. Let me know how it goes.
This isn’t honest budgeting. It’s spreadsheet manipulation by a guy who knows how to massage the optics while the house burns down.
And let’s not forget who we’re talking about here.
This is the man who moved his financial headquarters to New York while lecturing Canadians about economic sovereignty.
This is the guy with a Cayman Islands tax haven, who built his fortune offshore and now wants to manage your budget while shielding his own.
This is the architect of GFANZ—the so-called climate finance alliance—that imploded under his leadership. The same alliance that saw JPMorgan, Citigroup, and the Big Six Canadian banks bail because Carney couldn’t keep the cartel together without running afoul of antitrust laws.
This is the same man mentioned in Marco Mendicino’s Emergencies Act texts—the man who said, Move the tanks on the protesters.
That’s right.
He wasn’t calling for dialogue. He wasn’t calling for democracy. He was calling for force—on peaceful Canadians exercising their rights. That’s who this is.
So let’s drop the fantasy.
Mark Carney isn’t here to save you.
