BURLINGTON, ON
It shouldn’t happen but it could happen.
The Conservative Opposition in the House of Commons has blocked the government’s legislative agenda since the last week of September.
Pierre Poilievre wants an election – the sooner the better.
The Opposition has a serious responsibility to oppose a government – but freezing the normal day to day business of a government is as irresponsible as you can get.
The Conservatives plan to introduce a motion on Thursday and the debate and vote are set for Monday.
Singh has said he will not support a Non-confidence Motion
NDP leader Singh says he is not going to vote non-confidence and trigger an election. If that happens the Non-confidence Motion will fail.
The House is due to rise on December 17th, and return on the 27th of January, 2025
That means there will not be (but you never know with this current bunch of Members of Parliament) an election called until sometime in the New Year.
The next federal election will take place on or before October 20, 2025,
By the time the House of Commons returns President-Elect Donald Trump will have been sworn in as President – and no one knows what he will do. Few see any rays of sunshine coming out of Washington during the first couple of months.
How bad can it get? Wait and see.
The good news is – the federal government is going to lift the GST tax and send you all a check for $250 and the provincial government will send you a check for $200.00
I thought the proposed $250.00 rebate cheque was only for working Canadians that earned less than $150,000.00 and filed their 2023 taxes. Not for everyone as you state. Not seniors, or the disabled or the homeless.
Agree, unless they have another slush fund, the program as designed was aimed at giving a cheque to anyone but a senior, disadvantaged who is working and earning under $150,000. Just ask Jagmeet if you dont believe me, as that was one of his loop hole conditions he layed before the feet of the PM to ensure the leaning government of Canada does not topple.
