Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly stated that Canadians prefer the Trudeau government to govern without elections, despite the end of the NDP-Liberal supply agreement, which has heightened speculation about an early election. A recent Ipsos poll reveals that 56% of Canadians desire collaboration with the government instead of an immediate election, while the Conservative Party, led by Pierre Poilievre, is pushing for a non-confidence vote. In contrast, a Leger poll shows that 47% of Canadians are in favor of calling an election now, with 80% of Conservative supporters echoing this sentiment. NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh remains non-committal but indicated that the political landscape has changed since the dissolution of the agreement. Meanwhile, a separate poll found that a majority of Canadians prefer Kamala Harris over Donald Trump as the next U.S. president, highlighting a distinct political preference across the border. Concerns also arise regarding the treatment of intoxicated prisoners in Canadian jails after a woman died from drug toxicity while requesting medical attention twice.
