Trudeau hangs on to power as NDP, Bloc Québécois block Conservative non-confidence motion

NDP and Bloc Québécois MPs joined the Liberals in a vote of 211 to 120 to keep Trudeau in power despite NDP leader Jamgeet Singh previously saying his agreement with the Liberals was over.

The separatist Bloc Québécois and the socialist New Democrats voted to keep Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s minority government in power this afternoon, voting against a Conservative Party motion of non-confidence against the ruling Liberal party. 

This afternoon, MPs overall voted 211 against to 120 in favor of the Conservative motion which read, “The House has no confidence in the Prime Minister and the Government.” Two independent MPs joined the conservatives to vote in favor of the motion. 

Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre blasted the NDP and Bloc for propping up the Trudeau Liberals, saying on X today they voted to “keep Trudeau in power to tax your food, take your money, double your housing costs & unleash crime & chaos.” 

“The Costly Coalition is back & on the path to QUADRUPLING the carbon tax to $0.61/L.” 

Poilievre has repeatedly called for what he has dubbed a “carbon tax election.”  

Conservative MP Michael Cooper, who serves as the Shadow Minister for Democratic Reform, blasted the NDP for “selling out” to prop up the Trudeau Liberals.

“Sellout Jagmeet Singh sells out AGAIN. After making a big deal about ‘ripping up the agreement,’ Singh & the NDP just voted to rescue Trudeau AGAIN. Thanks to Sellout Jagmeet Singh, the Trudeau NIGHTMARE continues,” he wrote on X this afternoon.  

Regardless of the continued support from the NDP and the Bloc, the Trudeau Liberals are widely accepted to be floundering, having recently lost two byelections, one in Quebec and the other in Ontario, in what were considered “safe” Liberal ridings. 

While both Singh and Bloc leader Yves Blanchet said in advance of Tuesday’s vote that they would not support the Conservative non-confidence motion, Blanchet has said that unless Trudeau passes two of his party’s bills before the end of October, he would work with other opposition parties to bring down the Liberals. 

While confidence motions are used mainly when it comes to budgets, they can be brought forth for other reasons. Either way, the Conservatives will need the support of the NDP and the Bloc in order to have such a motion pass.

Trudeau gov’t launches new regulatory agency in case of ‘future pandemics’

“So Health Canada and the Public Health Agency of Canada weren’t enough?”

Justin Trudeau’s Liberal Party has announced a new government agency to regulate Canadians in case of “future pandemics” and “health emergencies.”

In a September 24 press release, Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry François-Philippe Champagne and Minister of Health Mark Holland announced the launch of Health Emergency Readiness Canada (HERC), a government agency that is “dedicated to protecting Canadians against future pandemics and delivering on Canada’s life sciences and medical countermeasures readiness objectives.”

“HERC will serve as Canada’s focal point to help mobilize industry to respond in a coordinated approach to public health needs and to support the growth of a domestic life sciences sector,” the press release stated. .   

According to the press release, the new program will mean “Canadians could get faster access to the most relevant and effective vaccines, therapeutics, diagnostics and other products, including when they need them the most.” 

However, many Canadians are far from happy with this announcement, pointing to the program as a new form of government overreach.   

“So Health Canada and the Public Health Agency of Canada weren’t enough?” one user questioned. “We need a new bureaucracy? Won’t this bureaucracy be incentivized to exaggerate any health threat to justify their spending?”  

“Led by the same ‘experts’ who lied about Covid vaxx side effects, ivermectin, vitamin D or effectiveness of Covid vaxx?” another questioned.  

Canadians concerns are likely to do with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government’s response to the COVID-19 so-called pandemic, which included prolonged lockdowns and mandates. In addition to shutting down business and churches, the Trudeau government restricted unvaccinated Canadians from most forms of public travel.  

Furthermore, anyone who dared to oppose mandates were severely punished, as seen by the 2022 Freedom Convoy which featured thousands of Canadians descending on Ottawa to protest the mandates, only to be met with Trudeau’s invocation of the Emergencies Act (EA) which allowed him to send a police force to disband the protest and freeze the bank accounts of Canadians who donated to the protest.

Canada’s new “health emergencies” program comes amid ongoing discussion regarding the World Health Organization’s controversial global pandemic treaty, which critics have warned would regulate all countries in the event of another “pandemic.”

As previously reported by LifeSiteNews, the Trudeau government recently requested that misinformation and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) measures be added to the treaty.   

Conservative MP Leslyn Lewis has repeatedly warned that the new International Health Regulations (IHR) contained in the treaty will compromise Canada’s sovereignty by giving the international organization increased power over Canadians.     

Lewis also gave her endorsement of a petition demanding the Liberal government under Trudeau “urgently” withdraw from the United Nations and its WHO subgroup, due to the organizations’ undermining of national “sovereignty” and the “personal autonomy” of citizens.     

The petition warned that the “secretly negotiated” amendments could “impose unacceptable, intrusive universal surveillance, violating the rights and freedoms guaranteed in the Canadian Bill of Rights and the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.”
