  • OTTAWA - Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre's latest attempt to topple the minority Liberal government in a non-confidence vote failed on Monday, thanks to the New Democrats.

The Liberal government of Canada, led by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, survived its third non-confidence vote initiated by the Conservative opposition. This vote, which took place in the House of Commons, was centered around the government's handling of the carbon tax and its perceived lack of transparency. Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre criticized the Liberals for not addressing the economic pressures faced by Canadians, particularly in relation to the rising cost of living. Despite the Conservative's efforts to frame the vote as a critical assessment of the government's economic policies, the Liberals, with the support of the NDP and the Bloc Québécois, managed to defeat the motion, thereby maintaining their hold on power. This event underscores the ongoing political tension regarding economic policy and governance in Canada.
