And, as expected, everyone’s true stripes will be shown.

The NDP and the Bloc have already expressed their intentions. Poilievre knows them and knows the motion is pointless and a waste of time.
This is just a show for cameras.

Axe the tax. Kill the facts. Burn the future. YAY fossil fuels!

Yay. Another waste of time & money vote that everyone knows has no hope of passing.

Another PP failure to do a damn thing as the official opposition lmao.

Hopefully the NDP and Bloc are thinking of Canadians today and topple this Liberal disaster.

PP is really eager to be PM!

Pierre threw a party and no one showed up.
Shouldn’t be any surprise here. Same as when he was a kid.

The fact that the bloc, a party that only exists in one province, can hold so much sway is absolutely ridiculous.

Empty posturing and wasting time on tax payer dime. If he wanted to topple this government, he could, but not like this, on his own, with no conversation with other parties. I think he prefers things to be just as they are – where he can bitch and moan while having no responsibility for anything.
I cannot stand this person enough to even look at his policies.

NDP says they have lost confidence with the Liberals but will still vote against this. Because they are hypocrites.

Please bring back the Progressive Conservatives so we can return sanity to Canadian politics.

Will Poilievre even bother to vote for the conservative non-confidence motion this time?
Last time he didn’t, which seems insulting to people looking for substance from his party.

Political theatre nothing more, they don’t have the votes

I’d be curious on the approach by Pierre and team. What were they hoping to gain? what’s the strategy here? They spent last week talking down the other opposition parties, not building bridges at all. So the end result here isn’t going to favour the CPC. They knew that, so why introduce it as is?
Hence my curiosity on why?
EDIT: Appreciate the answers. It does put the other opposition parties on paper saying, they still support the government. That’s something Pierre can use during a debate/ad.

Won’t pass, but it’s a strategy by PP. He will now try to turn Quebecers against the Bloc, and if successful, the Bloc will eventually succumb. If the NDP is the only party voting against, they won’t do it.

Can we just have a government please?
Can we not wait until the budget in the spring to do the confidence vote? Or does PP really need to grind everything to a halt to try and capitalize on public sentiment?

Why? complete b.s. waste of time and good ol’ peppy up to his useless politics games as usual. Both Bloq and NDP already said they won’t support it. Waste of time pandering to his rabid base
