Bloc Québécois win longtime Liberal seat and deliver stunning blow to Trudeau in Montreal byelection

Voters have dealt Prime Minister Justin Trudeau another devastating byelection loss, this time picking a Bloc Québécois candidate in a Montreal riding that’s been held by the Liberals for most of the last century.

The defeat in LaSalle-Émard-Verdun is Trudeau’s second byelection loss in a safe Liberal seat in the last three months and it raises questions about his long-term viability as party leader.

Bloc candidate Louis-Philippe Sauvé very narrowly beat Liberal Laura Palestini — a stunning upset given the governing party’s past strength in this part of southwest Montreal. NDP candidate Craig Sauvé finished third.

Preliminary Results of byelections in Montreal and Winnipeg – Liberals Lose

Elections Canada Results

These are the Preliminary Results for the ridings of Elmwood-Transcona and LaSalle-Émard-Verdun from Elections Canada

Justin has said a loss in Montreal means nothing to him and he won’t resign.

So we get to enjoy hating the lying snake a bit longer.

I tried to stay up, fell asleep, my cat said 5 am was a good time to feed him. Then I don’t remember nothing till now.

Freeland allowing more 30-year mortgages, higher values for insured mortgages

OTTAWA — Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland announced Monday Canadians will be able to borrow for longer, while also increasing the maximum value for insured mortgages, potentially giving buyers more money in the housing market.

I don’t see this helping many people but I always get a laugh out of Liberals pretending they solved a huge problem while conveniently failing to acknowledge their disastrous immigration policy is responsible.

Guilbeault’s department fails environmental subsidies audit

Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault’s department was cited by federal auditors for poor oversight of millions spent on green subsidies, per Blacklock’s Reporter.

Auditors noted spending on subsidies had risen sharply since 2016, by $625 million, with little corresponding scrutiny of where the money went or why.

That’s because it’s a great big Liberal slush fund.

Liberal House leader calls Poilievre a ‘fraudster’ and a ‘bully’ as Commons returns

Liberal House leader Karina Gould kicked off the fall sitting of Parliament Monday by calling Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre a “fraudster” and a “bully” and accusing him of holding a secret agenda that Canadians won’t like.

“What I heard yesterday from Mr. Poilievre was so over the top, so irresponsible, so immature and something only a fraudster would do,” Gould said Monday in Ottawa.

Gee, Justin never told us he was going to flood the nation with 3rd world migrants and destroy our economic and social well being.

Trudeau Liberals buying Hamas ‘lies’: author/soldier John Spencer

John Spencer, the world’s foremost expert on urban warfare, has choice words for the Trudeau government: “Do your homework.”

At a lecture at a Toronto synagogue late last week, he said that the federal Liberals, “believe lies” coming from Hamas, and “base their policies on them,” including withholding weapons from Israel needed to fight the terror group. (Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly announced on September 10 that Canada suspended about 30 permits for arms shipments.)

Trudeau is a low life. He cares about one thing when it comes to Israel and that’s Muslim votes. Whether Hamas tells the truth or not is irrelevant.

Justin Trudeau’s Party Has a Popularity Problem: Justin Trudeau

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberal Party should be a shoo-in for a parliamentary seat at the southern point of the island of Montreal.

The district has been a stronghold for his party for more than half a century. It was home to another Liberal prime minister a generation ago. The base for a former Liberal justice minister. An easy drive to Mr. Trudeau’s own redoubt in the city.

And yet, days before a special election on Monday to choose the district’s member of Canada’s Parliament, polls show a tight three-way contest. For many lifelong Liberals, the problem is clear: It is Mr. Trudeau himself.

Justin Trudeau’s sinking popularity puts him on shaky ground

In late August, a tense exchange was caught on camera between Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and a local steel worker in northern Ontario.

As Trudeau reached out for a handshake, the worker refused it, confronting the prime minister instead about his struggle to make ends meet despite having a steady job.

Trudeau responded by listing things his Liberal government has done to help working families, including a national dental care programme and a tariff on Chinese steel that is designed to protect Canadian workers.

CHARLEBOIS: These are Canada’s ‘Hunger Games’

Last week, Feed Ontario disclosed that over a million residents in Ontario, Canada’s wealthiest province, sought assistance from food banks over the past year.

A million people.

That’s essentially Nova Scotia’s entire population as a province. This revelation presents a stark contrast when juxtaposed with the situation south of the border in the United States.

An unstable Parliament where the issue is Justin Trudeau

There were two sides to the speech Pierre Poilievre gave in front Conservative caucus on Sunday, one in each official language.

For the first 11 minutes, Mr. Poilievre spoke in French, and for almost all of that time he taunted the Bloc Québécois. Then he switched to English and spent 13 minutes needling the NDP. In each case, the subject was Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

Canada’s plan to donate refurbished armour to Ukraine is still spinning its wheels

Globo Homo or what?

A plan to rebuild and modernize two dozen decommissioned Canadian light armoured vehicles for donation to Ukraine is stuck in bureaucratic limbo more than nine months after the defence department handed the vehicles over to an Ontario company that specializes in restoration, CBC News has learned.

Defence Minister Bill Blair signed off on the transfer last January. He said negotiations between Armatec Survivability in Dorchester, Ont., and the Canadian Commercial Credit Corporation (CCC), an arm of the federal government, are still ongoing.

Zelensky loves Justin and Freeland but I suspect he will only accept cash support in future.

Elon Musk Says Starlink Would Cost ‘Less Than Half’ of Ottawa-Backed $2.14 Billion Plan

Elon Musk says his company SpaceX’s satellite internet service Starlink would be able to provide coverage to Canadian households for “less than half the cost of a recently announced multibillion-dollar government loan to Montreal-based satellite operator Telesat to provide that service.
Musk was responding to Conservative MP Michael Barrett, who in a Sept. 14 post on X challenged the government investment. The funding consists of a combined $2.54 billion loan to Telesat, consisting of $2.14 billion from Ottawa and $400 million from the Quebec government.

Oh Oh! Someone’s place at the trough is threatened!

In other words the deal with the NDP is still in place

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.
