Trudeau's Government Survives No-Confidence Vote

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's minority Liberal government has narrowly survived a second parliamentary confidence vote in less than a week, defeating a challenge from the Conservative Party with a vote of 207-121. The Conservatives, who lead in the polls with 42% support, criticize Trudeau for rising costs and crime, asserting that the NDP and Bloc Québécois have 'sold out Canadians' by supporting him. Despite this short-term victory, opinion polls indicate a troubling trend for Trudeau's Liberal Party, which is now tied with the NDP at 22% support. The Bloc Québécois has agreed to back Trudeau temporarily in exchange for pension boosts, yet their support remains a potential threat. Political analysts suggest that Trudeau's government is in a precarious position, facing increasing voter fatigue as an election looms before the end of October 2025.
