Two years into the Trudeau 2.0 Minority Term, which day will Justin call the election that only he wants?

Neither the NDP, nor the Liberals, want a snap election, which according to more than a year of polling, would replace Trudeau’s Liberal minority government which a Conservative majority government led by Pierre Poilievre…so don’t hold your breath.

Now that the smoke has cleared, a snap federal election is no nearer today than it was before NDP leader Jagmeet Singh ripped up his deal with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. The obvious reason is that neither the NDP, nor the Liberals, want a snap election, which according to more than a year of...

Conservatives to push non-confidence motion against Trudeau government — CTV News

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says his party will put forward a non-confidence motion when Parliament resumes 'at the earliest possible opportunity' with the aim of triggering an early federal election.

Poilievre is calling on both the NDP and Bloc Quebecois to support the motion.

Can anyone smell proroguing coming from the Liberal kitchen??? Parliament is supposed back to school September 16th for its Fall sitting…but with the Liberals all retreating to one coastline or another ‘cuz carbon footprint’s…& maybe a heart to heart with Justin…& maybe…maybe they can convince him that from the river to the sea, the Liberals should be Trudeau Free!

Liberals will be entering a new parliamentary session next week with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau at the helm of the party, still 20 points behind in the polls with no apparent plan to reverse course and with its deal with the NDP ripped to shreds.

And there is a possibility that the Liberals lose a seat in a Montreal stronghold, too.

In those circumstances, a prorogation — which would effectively press the pause button on the work of Parliament to force an agenda reset — could be tempting. But political insiders agree that it is unlikely that it will happen unless Liberals want an early election.

The fact that this is even being discussed or mentioned now is interesting though….

Anyhow, Liberals have not shied away from prorogation when faced with difficulties in the past.

In 2020, they suspended Parliament’s work for just over a month as the government was reeling from the WE Charity controversy. At the time, Trudeau said he wanted to “build back better” after the pandemic and the NDP voted to keep the government in power during the confidence vote, etc…

A prorogation brings an end to all proceedings before Parliament, which means bills that have not received royal assent are terminated and must be reintroduced in a new session as if they never existed….like the bills the liberals have been dragging their feet on in their buddy buddy thing with the NDP, so that….They can blame the conservatives if the Liberals prorogue parliament…& they can use that for hostage on NDP support.

The news of Jagmeet Singh ending the coalition between the Liberals and New Democratic Party would be enough to ruin any politician’s week. Then it was revealed that Trudeau’s campaign director for the next election was quitting because he doesn’t think the PM can win.

Now, add to that Friday’s unemployment numbers that showed the jobless rate is up at 6.6% and that we lost 44,000 full-time jobs in August all while adding just shy of 100,000 new people to the labour market.

If that happens, to buy time, to find someone to parachute in Kamala-style, who doesn’t have the stench of Trudeau cooties on them, to avoid a confidence vote, that Jagmeet would probably back the Liberals on anyway, ‘cuz the NDP aren’t financially ready for an election either & have three provincial elections to lose this Fall first…would Trudeau stall parliament coming back into session in just over a week?

“I'm looking forward to being there on Monday and working with the opposition parties, in whatever configuration that looks like, to deliver on important pieces of legislation for Canadians,” Government House Leader Karina Gould told CTV’s Question Period host Vassy Kapelos, in an interview airing Sunday, when asked whether the Liberals are considering proroguing Parliament, or whether they plan on following through with the entire fall sitting.

Liberals will let Conservatives hold non-confidence vote 'fairly soon', no intention of proroguing Parliament — CTV News

The Liberals have no intention of using procedural tactics to delay the Conservatives' promised non-confidence motion, and they have no plans to prorogue Parliament to hold onto power, according to Government House Leader Karina Gould.

apple.news

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre, has promised his party will table a non-confidence motion as soon as possible, hoping to trigger an election and topple the Liberals.

Gould — whose job it is to schedule the opposition days the Conservatives need to table a non-confidence motion — said she has no plans to cause delays.

“There are 11 and a half sitting weeks in the fall session. There are seven opposition days,” Gould said. “Of course, the Conservatives are going to get their opposition days.”

“It's not usual practice that we do it in the first week back in any session, but I can say with confidence that they will be getting an (opposition) day fairly soon,” she added.

Asked specifically whether Gould might use procedural tactics, such as saving all the opposition days until December, the Government house leader said “no.”

Trudeau and the Liberals keep ignoring the message Canadians have been sending them for more than a year of opinion polls, indicating that if an election was held today it would result in a massive majority for Pierre Poilievre and the Conservatives.

Nor have they accepted that Liberal support across Canada is so low that they keep losing byelections in ridings that were once bastions of Liberal support in Toronto and Montreal.

Ridings that were, as the old saying goes, Liberal strongholds where they could run, figuratively speaking, dogs as candidates and still win.

To be clear, Trudeau and the Liberals have every right to continue in office for another year if they can attract enough support from the opposition parties to avoid defeat on a motion of non-confidence, such as a budget bill.

The bad news is now that NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh has “pulled out” of his deal with Trudeau that would have put off an election until next fall, the PM will have to make deals with the Bloc Quebecois for support.

Bloc Leader Yves-Francois Blanchet has made it crystal clear that in return for his party’s support the Liberals will have to grant concessions to Quebec.

Obviously, that isn’t a great prescription for national unity.

Meanwhile, the Bloc Québécois benefitted from the rise of Parti Québécois fortunes in the province. They also mined the newfound clout the Bloc has in Ottawa since NDP leader Jagmeet Singh ripped up the party’s Supply and confidence agreement with the Liberals. Bloc leader Yves François Blanchet promised to deliver for Quebec by holding the Liberals to ransom — and now he has one more foot soldier to do it.

A new Abacus Data poll survey shows just 22 per cent of voters still in the Liberal camp – the lowest ever charted by Abacus since the 2015 election of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. But what makes the numbers particularly disastrous for the Liberals is that this new low has coincided with a massive surge in support for the Bloc Québécois. The Bloc is now the favourite among Quebec voters, which would give the party just enough of an edge to flip more than a dozen close ridings currently in Liberal hands.

The New Democrats chalked up $2.6 million in donations, the Greens got $777,000, & the Bloc has Alberta’s Platinum Credit Card. The Conservatives, flush with cash and riding high in the polls, intend to table a non-confidence motion next week. The NDP and Bloc Québécois have said they will vote to keep the government alive and avoid an immediate election.
