OTTAWA—What is the price of parliamentary peace? Is any price too high for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau now that the NDP-Liberal co-operation deal is dead?
Liberals have begun talks with the New Democrats and the Bloc Québécois, Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland said Tuesday. The goal is to find common political ground with the opposition for the months ahead.
Support for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has sharply declined in Montreal, one of his party’s last political strongholds, marking a dramatic shift in a city long considered a Liberal bastion, according to new polling.
As public dissatisfaction grows, even Trudeau’s once-secure base — home to his House of Commons seat — now appears vulnerable.
Trudeau’s “unpopularity, along with broader discontent with the Liberal party, has eroded support even in areas that previously seemed unassailable,” the Angus Reid Institute reported on Tuesday.
Latest Angus Reid poll modelled out
CON: 228 seats (+109)
BQ: 47 seats (+15)
NDP: 34 seats (+9)
LIB: 32 seats (-128)
GRN: 2 seats (nc)
PPC: 0 seat (nc)Conservative Majority Government

New Brunswick Premier Blaine Higgs’s approval ratings are the lowest of any premier in Confederation, according to the Angus Reid Institute. When he launched his re-election campaign Thursday, Mr. Higgs needed to pick on someone even more unpopular.
Luckily for him, there’s Justin Trudeau.
Every politician in Canada is running against Mr. Trudeau, except Liberals, who are running away from him.
As Parliamentarians spar over a DOA non-confidence motion and the prime minister chats with late-night host Stephen Colbert, the drama Canadians should really be watching is Season Two of the Hogue Commission on foreign interference. From a clueless Liberal party apparatchik to the Speaker’s refusal to prioritize issues of national security, it is the best spy show going — if only Canadians would tune in. So here are the highlights from the latest instalments.
Blacklock’s Reporter says the survey found that only 7% of Canadians identify as vegetarian or vegan.
The poll, commissioned by the Privy Council, aimed to gather data for the Department of Environment and Department of Natural Resources.
Nearly 13,000 international students have applied for asylum in Canada in the first eight months of the year, data from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada shows.
Between Jan. 1 and Aug. 31, a total of 119,835 refugee claims were made in Canada. Of these, 12,915 were claimants who were on either study permits (11,605) or study permit extensions (1,310), the department data said.
Trudeau is intent of destroying Canada.
As Canadians struggle with an economy still dealing the effects of inflation, an affordability crisis, a housing crisis and rising unemployment, fear not, Justin Trudeau is looking out for you by speaking to other global celebrities.
Justin has convinced himself that he is a man of international stature rather than the blowhard from Canada who sits funny.
OMG! They’re still trotting out Malala. Virtue signaling Totem of do nothing liberals everywhere. https://t.co/KqxLPsgIF8

OTTAWA — The federal government’s former pick for head of the Canadian Human Rights Commission who resigned before actually starting the job is now listing the title on his resume.
Birju Dattani was appointed as chief commissioner back in June, but resigned before starting the job in August after an investigation determined he did not “directly disclose” the anti-Israel nature of his work as a graduate student nearly a decade ago.
As U.S. election day approaches in just seven weeks, it’s looking like the Canadian economy might be caught between a rock and a hard place — regardless of the outcome.
Experts say a Donald Trump presidency and his proposed 10 per cent tariffs on Canadian imports would hurt Canada’s economy, but Kamala Harris could also be problematic — especially if
Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre becomes Prime Minister.
Shortly after the U.S. election, talks around the Canada-United States-Mexico Free Trade Agreement, referred to as CUSMA, will ramp up as it is set for review on July 1, 2026.
Kamala is a genuine worry given she is a fool and a Deep State puppet.
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre urged MPs to defeat the Liberal government Tuesday — but opposition parties are turning the debate over his non-confidence motion into a debate about the Conservative Party’s policies instead.
Poilievre introduced his promised non-confidence motion in the opening minutes of the House of Commons sitting Tuesday, delivering a campaign-style speech laying out his vision for Canada under a Conservative government.
The commentariat is obsessed with the federal Liberal loss last week in the once-safe Montreal riding of LaSalle-Émard-Verdun. Few, in contrast, took note of last week’s by-election in the Ontario provincial riding of Bay of Quinte, won by Doug Ford’s Progressive Conservatives.
Why did Mr. Ford’s PCs win their by-election while Justin Trudeau’s Liberals lost theirs? One reason might be that the Premier obsesses over the needs of suburban, middle-class, car-commuting voters, while Mr. Trudeau has other priorities.
Ontario Premier Doug Ford says the Toronto District School Board (TDSB) should investigate how some students on a recent school field trip ended up at a rally(opens in a new tab) where pro-Palestinian slogans were shouted.
“It’s disgraceful… [The students] should be in the classroom learning about reading, writing, spelling, arithmetic, the whole shebang, but instead, the TDSB and these teachers want to bring them down to a rally, a Palestinian rally, and it’s ridiculous,” Ford said at an unrelated news conference on Monday.
Will someone please offer Prime Minister Justin Trudeau a job? Preferably, a nice sinecure at an NGO in another country that’s subsidized by Liberal donors.
The Canadian electorate — and now even his NDP sidekick Jagmeet Singh — are fed up with him. Earlier this month, Singh pulled out of a deal to prop up the Liberals, then ensured their political survival by pledging not to support a non-confidence motion that, if passed, would trigger an election. Bloc Leader Yves-François Blanchet said the same.
OTTAWA – The NDP is urging the Liberals to recognize Palestinian statehood, warning that a Conservative government would not protect international law in the Middle East.
NDP foreign affairs critic Heather McPherson is accusing the Trudeau government of lacking courage to advance its stated goal of helping a two-state solution, where Israel and a Palestinian country exist peacefully.
McPherson is calling for Canada to sanction far-right ministers in Israel who have suggested it would be justified to starve Palestinians and that some communities should be annihilated.

In 2018, Ahmed Fouad Mostafa Eldidi arrived at Toronto’s Pearson Airport. After his application for refugee status was accepted in 2019, he received a work permit. He then became a permanent resident in 2021. Subsequently, the Canadian Security Intelligence Service gave his application a “favourable recommendation”, and Mr. Eldidi was granted Canadian citizenship in May 2024. Just two months later and after a tip from France, he was arrested with his son for allegedly planning a terrorist attack in Toronto. It then came to light that Mr. Eldidi had apparently appeared in 2015 promotional video by the Islamic State hacking the limbs off a prisoner with a sword – an act which likely constitutes a war crime.
This series of events has led to obvious questions: How could Canada not only let Mr. Eldidi into the country, but fail to identify him as a possible security threat during two separate national security screenings? Why did the Canadian authorities also not know of his alleged 2015 atrocities?
They vote Liberal.
