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.

2025 Federal Election

Mark Carney vows to provide sterilizing puberty blockers to children ‘without exception’

Transgender surgeries and drugs have been linked to permanent physical and psychological damage, including cardiovascular diseases, loss of bone density, cancer, strokes and blood clots, infertility, and suicidality.

Prime Minister Mark Carney has promised to continue the Liberal legacy of pushing sterilizing puberty blockers on children “without exception.”

During an April 8 press conference in Alberta, Carney doubled down on his dedication to furthering the LGBT agenda by committing to protect the so-called “fundamental right” to irreversible drugs and surgeries for gender-confused Canadians.

“Access to health care is a fundamental right,” Carney told reporters about 28 minutes into the presser.

Media questioned if he would include LGBT “rights” under the Canada Health Act considering recently passed Alberta legislation which prevents minors from taking irreversible puberty blockers or undergoing gender “reassignment” surgeries.

Carney repeated that he would defend the “fundamental right” to accessing “gender-transitioning” drugs and surgeries “without exception.”

“Canada is a mosaic, people can be who they are, they can love who they love… Access to health care in Canada is not a business, it is a fundamental right, and we will defend it for all Canadians, without exception,” he said.

LifeSiteNews has compiled a list of medical professions and experts who warn against “transgender” surgeries, warning of irreversible changes and lifelong side effects.

In fact, in addition to asserting a false reality that one’s sex can be changed, transgender surgeries and drugs have been linked to permanent physical and psychological damage, including cardiovascular diseases, loss of bone density, cancer, strokes and blood clots, infertility, and suicidality.

There is also overwhelming evidence that those who undergo “gender transitioning” are more likely to commit suicide than those who are not given irreversible surgery. A Swedish study found that those who underwent “gender reassignment” surgery ended up with a 19.2 times greater risk of suicide.

During his first week in office, Carney directed a total of $2,118,000 to LGBT groups in Ontario and Quebec to address “systemic barriers to equality” and to “challenge discrimination in all its forms.”

Furthermore, Carney’s eldest daughter, Sasha, identifies as non-binary and went to the U.K.’s infamous Tavistock gender clinic. The 24-year-old Yale graduate is now a writer who has publicly advocated for transgender procedures.

2025 Federal Election

Two Canadian police unions endorse Pierre Poilievre for PM

The Durham, Ontario, Regional Police Association announced that it is ‘proud to endorse’ Poilievre, only days after the Peel, Ontario, Regional Police Association also endorsed him.

Two large Canadian police unions are backing Conservative Party of Canada (CPC) leader Pierre Poilievre for prime minister, citing his promises to reform Canada’s bail system and to “hold criminals accountable” for their crimes.

The Durham, Ontario, Regional Police Association, (DRPA) which represents close to 1,000 police officers, on Monday said it was “proud to endorse” Poilievre in the upcoming federal election.

“Mr. Poilievre and the Conservative Party of Canada recognize the voice and importance of Police Associations and are committed to ensuring our Officers and those across Canada have the necessary resources to police communities safely and effectively,” noted the association’s president, Andrew Tummonds, on X Monday.

The DRPA said it recognizes Poilievre’s pledge to get serious about crime in Canada, which has skyrocketed over the past decade under Liberal Party soft crime policies.

Tummonds said the DRPA likes Poilievre’s proposed policies on “changes to bail reform, repeat violent offenders” as well as to stop the flow of “illegal handguns, drug trafficking and most importantly hold criminals accountable.”

“His commitment to public safety aligns with the needs of Officers and Police Associations across the country. It is imperative that we protect our communities with legislation that does not limit the effectiveness of the great work done by Officers daily,” noted Tummonds.

“Every day our heroes in uniform and those working behind the scenes work to ensure the communities Canadians call home remain free from violent crime.”

Tummonds noted how the reality in Canada is that there “is a need to take crime seriously.”

“It is our belief that the Pierre Poilievre and the Conservative Party of Canada are the best equipped to achieve this,” he added.

Poilievre has promised to “repeal catch-and-release Liberal policies, put our heroes in uniform first, and restore safe streets — for a CHANGE.”

He has consistently called for Canada’s lax drug laws enacted under former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government to be changed. He has also promised to overall Canada’s current bail laws, which were weakened under Trudeau.
