Poilievre Urges Governor General to Recall Parliament

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has urged Governor General Mary Simon to recall Parliament for a non-confidence vote against Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, asserting that the Prime Minister no longer has the confidence of the House. Poilievre claims that all opposition parties, including the NDP and Bloc Québécois, are prepared to vote against Trudeau, who he accuses of clinging to power amid increasing discontent. NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh has also committed to introducing a non-confidence motion when Parliament resumes on January 27. The Conservative leader emphasized the urgency of the situation, suggesting that with significant challenges ahead, Parliament should act promptly rather than delay until after the holidays. Trudeau's government is facing mounting criticism, including from within his own party, following a major cabinet shuffle and the resignation of Chrystia Freeland. If a non-confidence motion passes, it could trigger a federal election, paving the way for a new government.
