The Facts

  • On Wednesday, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau successfully fended off a vote of no-confidence. The proposal failed because opposition leader Pierre Poilievre was unable to win over the New Democratic Party (NDP) and Bloc Québécois leaders.

  • In public opinion polls, Pierre Poilievre, the Conservative Party leader, is in the lead and has expressed interest in a snap election after the NDP terminated its coalition agreement with the Liberals, leaving the Trudeau administration vulnerable.


The Spin

Many Canadians are holding Prime Minister Justin Trudeau responsible for the rising inflation and high cost of living. Surveys indicate that most Canadians feel it is time for a new Prime Minister and a new government. Trudeau's popularity has been declining for years, as Canadians find it increasingly difficult to make ends meet due to rising costs. A majority of Canadians believe Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre is the leader with the best plan when it comes to crucial issues such as housing, health care, and the economy. It's time for Trudeau to do what's best for the country —step down.
