Prime Mnister Justin Trudeau's Liberal Party suffered two byelection losses Monday night. With results in, Liberal candidates lost in both contests. In the perpetually safe seat in Montreal of LaSalle—Émard—Verdun, the Liberal candidate lost to the Bloc Québécois' Louis-Philippe Sauvé, in a tight three-way race. In the Manitoba riding of Winnipeg's Elmwood —Transcona the NDP's Leila Dance defeated the Conservative Party with the Liberals a distant third. In Montreal, Liberal candidate Laura Palestini had insisted “It’s about me. It’s not about the PM. I will let myself be the … prime focus of this election.”

Former Justice Minister David Lametti represented the riding until he resigned from Parliament – just days after a federal court justice announced that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s invocation of the Emergencies Act in response to the Freedom Convoy protests was unconstitutional. Lametti had been a vocal supporter of using the legislation to crush the peaceful protest.

Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre announced on September 11 that he plans to introduce a non-confidence motion “at the earliest opportunity” after the Parliamentary session resumed on Sept 16. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s loose coalition with the New Democratic Party (NDP) ended last week. Poilievre called that a political “stunt” at the time.

Opps. Apparently PM Trudeau and his leftist policies aren't as well-loved as they think.

That's NOT an improvement. NDP is to the LEFT of Trudeau.

Hopefully, there won’t be another Belinda Stronach to cross the aisle and save Trudeau’s butt.

Can’t wait to have Trump and Poilievre in power.

Great news. Liberalism is a disease that doesn’t recover.

NDP = Communist Party

[Tipllub]

If NDP think its can replace Trudeau as the #1 left-wing party in Canada, they will pull the no confidence triggers.

White working class, lots of anglophones.

"NDP = Communist Party attempt to frame the media narrative of him being a 'man of the people.'"

Argh! Don’t tell me that! I didn’t realize someone in Canada could be any further left than Trudeau!

If this becomes a national trend with the Liberals in 3rd, the NDP won't need a coalition to run the country as they do now. Out right majority.

[albie]

Gee whiz. Don’t they have the same Dominion machines we do that tabulate what they want?

[PGR88]

NDP are woke karens, on steroids.

[canuck_conservative]

The Conservatives are still planning to go ahead with a “No-Confidence Vote” in Parliament next week ...

IF the Bloc Quebecois doesn’t support the Liberals (who only ever had a minority anyway), then we’ll have a Canadian federal election in October ...

>>>Can’t wait to have Trump and Poilievre in power.

Plus visit each in Ottawa & Washington plus strengthen economic ties.

[hecticskeptic]

Hmmmm....I realize that Manitoba has always been an NDP stronghold... but surely the Conservatives could have beat them given what a disaster Singh has been lately.
