Canadian election imminent
The CBC reports:
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says the House of Commons should be recalled now that NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh is vowing to bring forward a motion of non-confidence to take down the Liberal government.
“The Liberals don’t deserve another chance,” Singh wrote in an open letter on Friday. “That’s why the NDP will vote to bring this government down.”
This is a survival tactic for the NDP who don’t want to be associated with the Liberals anymore.
The timing of the next confidence vote is unclear, but likely to be in the first quarter of 2025 which will lead to an election in the first half of 2025. The only real uncertainty is whether Trudeau remains Liberal Leader to fight the election.
