Politics Week: Parliament Returns With Trudeau Sagging In Polls

CANADA
(MNI) OTTAWA
  • Parliament returns with housing and cost of living the dominant issue putting PM Trudeau behind Conservative Pierre Poilievre in polls.
  • Polling aggregator 338Canada shows Conservatives likely to win a majority government if an election were held now. Election is due in 2025 under a traditional four-year mandate but the Liberals rely on NDP to pass confidence motions and avoid an earlier campaign.
  • Uncertainty for 2024 around how Liberals will meet NDP demands for expanded public healthcare as govt cuts departmental spending and interest costs surge.
  • BOC held key rate at 5% Wed, highest since 2001, though hinted cuts may come this year. That and slowing inflation may take some heat off the Liberals.
  • Government caps temporary student visas after outcry about housing squeeze and reports of diploma mills.
  • Judge rules use of emergency act to break up truck protests a few years ago violated some constitutional rights, a blow since Trudeau said this was needed amid threats to police and US trade. Earlier review by another judge also said this was a close call but that the law's use was justified.
  • Foreign interference commission begins Monday and first round of hearings end Feb. 2. First report due May 3, second by year-end, hearings could boost tensions with India and China.
  • Sample headlines: It’s getting a little late for Liberals to push Trudeau out (Globe and Mail); Dear Liberals: It’s never too late to start governing (Globe and Mail)
