CANADA: Politics Week: Liberals Meet In BC After Trudeau Loses NDP Backing

CANADA
  • Justin Trudeau's minority Liberals lost NDP backing on confidence votes, opening potential for snap election.
  • Liberal Party MPs meet Mon/Tues in British Columbia ahead of Parliament opening Sept 16 where Trudeau's leadership faces questions.
  • NDP's Jagmeet Singh said Liberals don't deserve fourth mandate and have lost momentum delivering for voters. Singh also knew it would be hard to gain traction in the next election if he supported the Liberals for an entire mandate.
  • Singh will take confidence motions including a fall fiscal update on a case-by-case basis. Conservatives want an election now, meaning Trudeau could lean on the separatist Bloc Quebecois. Their leader has suggested he will vote based on what's right for his movement.
  • Local media speculates Singh won't force election with NDP behind in fundraising and lacking volunteers to staff federal campaign alongside provincial ones coming up.
  • Another blow to Trudeau is the resignation of his campaign chairman.
  • Polling aggregator 338Canada shows Conservatives likely to win a majority government if an election were held now.
  • Sample headlines: Justin Trudeau’s Liberals are facing a bloodbath -- and he’s ignoring the real problem his party faces (Toronto Star); Trudeau insists he still has what Canadians want, despite polling numbers (CP); Justin Trudeau’s legacy will be destroying the Canadian consensus on immigration (Globe and Mail).
