Trudeau government says it won’t delay possible confidence votes as Poilievre’s Conservatives hanker for election

OTTAWA—The Liberal government says it will not use delay tactics to avoid a parliamentary vote that could trigger an election this fall as Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre goaded other opposition party leaders to help him immediately topple the Trudeau government.

House Leader Karina Gould said the government does not intend to play games to stave off until late fall any “non-confidence” motion the Opposition parties might bring forward nor does it intend to formally suspend, or prorogue, Parliament in order to buy time.

ANDRUS: A weakened Trudeau could cozy up the the Bloc, a grim prospect for Alberta

As Prime Minister Justin Trudeau clings to power amid growing challenges, his Liberal government might finally be on the verge of collapse.

With NDP leader Jagmeet Singh tearing up the “Confidence and Supply” agreement that has kept the Liberals afloat, the Liberals are in the precarious position of having to call an election, seek the NDP’s votes on a case-by-case basis, or work with the Bloc Québécois.

Jamie Sarkonak: Don’t burden the rest of Canada with asylum seekers. Change the rules

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau asked for an asylum-seeker surge in 2017, and boy did he get it. Well, Ontario and Quebec got most of it. And now, as those provinces struggle to support the weight, the federal government has floated a new solution: just spread it around.

A federal plan under consideration would send about 28,000 asylum seekers to Alberta, 32,500 to British Columbia, 5,000 to Nova Scotia and 4,600 to New Brunswick. The idea is to distribute the burden across the country in proportion to provincial populations. Only, we don’t have any room.

What would have to happen in Parliament to trigger an early election?

MPs return Monday to a House of Commons that promises to be even more volatile than it was when they left it in June.

The end of the Liberal-NDP governance agreement makes an early election more likely but not inevitable.

A party can only continue governing as long as it has the “confidence” of the House — the support of a majority of MPs.

Robert Libman: Montreal byelection could spell end for Trudeau and Singh

Despite all the media speculation, the leadership discussion within the federal Liberal caucus has so far remained pretty much bottled up inside the party, with public comments about Prime Minister Justin Trudeau relatively mitigated. But the bottle could pop after Monday night, depending on results of the byelection in the Liberal stronghold of LaSalle—Émard—Verdun, left vacant with the resignation of former justice minister David Lametti.

Defiant and unbowed: Why Justin Trudeau isn’t going anywhere

Several MPs and former cabinet ministers have publicly called for his exit, including veteran Quebec Liberal MP Alexandra Mendès at this week’s caucus retreat in Nanaimo, B.C.

Privately, prominent party heavyweights, elder statesmen, fundraisers and campaign strategists have all urged Mr. Trudeau to leave.

Major Russian disinfo site featuring anti-Trudeau articles prompts calls for new focus at public inquiry

A website at the heart of an international Russian disinformation operation has produced more than a dozen articles about Canadian politics in an apparent attempt to undermine support for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and boost his chief rival, Pierre Poilievre.

The website Reliable Recent News has been identified by officials in Europe and the U.S. as a repository for pro-Kremlin articles that are distributed through a network of affiliated sites disguised to appear as legitimate news outlets.

Colby Cosh: Lululemon’s sweetheart deal for temporary foreign workers

Monday’s most interesting non-Post news item came to us from the Investigative Journalism Foundation’s Zak Vescera, who published details of a sweetheart deal that the garment maker Lululemon Athletica squeezed out of the federal government last year. Lululemon is building a new global headquarters in Vancouver, where it originated, and by strategic bullying it got the feds to allow it to bring in 116 high-wage temporary foreign workers (TFWs) without the usual mandatory efforts to hire local Canadians first.

Justin Trudeau ‘unleashed’ is the Liberals’ new weapon in their battle with Pierre Poilievre

“I believe we’re going to win everything!” Prime Minister Justin Trudeau responded when asked this week whether he thought the Liberals will win Monday’s byelection in LaSalle—Émard—Verdun.

“We’ve got everything going, man!” Trudeau declared, as he dashed out of his party’s final caucus meeting Wednesday in Nanaimo, a big smile on face

Canada tried to copy New Zealand’s gun buyback program — what went wrong?

The Canadian government sought to follow New Zealand’s lead in 2020 when it launched a program to force gun owners to surrender military-style firearms. But while New Zealand acted quickly in 2019, Ottawa is still struggling to implement its own plan.

The government of then-Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern announced its firearms buyback program shortly after a white supremacist killed 51 people at two mosques in Christchurch in March 2019.

SLOBODIAN: The laughable claim Canadians have ‘access’ to Trudeau

Former Liberal MP Sukhminder Singh Dhaliwal broke a sweat Wednesday trumpeting Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as an “authentic leader” of “ordinary, working-class Canadians” a.k.a. peoplekind.

Trudeau stood there nodding, soaking in the no doubt personally pre-approved message of heaping praise, something he’s gotten so little of for so a long time.

KOOP: A quiet rebellion against Trudeau’s leadership

For months now, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has faced torrents of bad news that make winning re-election seem less and less likely.

The Liberals have suffered from chronically sagging poll numbers. The most recent poll from Leger finds the party has the support of only 25% of voters. This is dwarfed by support for the Conservatives, who enjoy the support of 45% of those surveyed. Under the rules of our electoral system, this would translate into a landslide government for Pierre Poilievre and a thorough electoral thrashing for Trudeau.

Justin Trudeau’s ‘carbon tax’ is losing more allies as Pierre Poilievre’s relentless assault continues

OTTAWA — When it comes to its national carbon pricing regime, the Liberal government is getting lonelier and lonelier.

First it was the opposition New Democrats who raised questions about their support for a policy they had unambiguously championed in the past two federal election campaigns. Earlier this spring, and again this week, NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh suggested his party is looking at other carbon pricing options as it designs a new climate plan for the next campaign. Whatever they come up with, Singh claimed, would not impose a burden on everyday Canadians.
