Conservatives' Third Attempt to Topple Trudeau's Minority Government Fails

Canada's main opposition, the Conservatives, have failed in their third and latest attempt to topple Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's minority government. The NDP, which supports the Liberal minority government, blocked the Conservatives' no-confidence motion.

NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh had previously made it clear that although the Conservatives' motion was based on his words, his party would not fall for their tactics and would vote against it.

While Singh was not in the House during the vote due to a prior meeting, he participated in the online vote. Meanwhile, MPs also voted on an NDP motion on Monday, which called for the permanent removal of the GST from essential goods and the inclusion of retired seniors in the $250 rebate.

However, only the NDP and the Greens voted in favor of the motion, leading to its defeat.
