No photos of Trudeau on campaign signs in Montreal riding ahead of byelection

One familiar face is conspicuously absent from a federal byelection campaign in Montreal that could have major implications for the Liberal government. As candidates embark on the home stretch of the campaign in LaSalle Émard Verdun, their election signs are everywhere at major intersections, on side streets, fixed to lampposts, beneath stop signs. Alongside photos of the candidates are images of their leaders: Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre, smiling against a backdrop of a Canadian flag; Bloc Québécois Leader Yves-François Blanchet, smiling against a pale blue backdrop; NDP Leader J

The leader of Canada's main opposition, Pierre Polivray, has termed Jagmeet Singh's withdrawal of support from Trudeau as a media stunt. Polivray said Singh, who struck a deal with the Liberals two years ago after scuttling Wakkar's interests, has only grabbed headlines today, not clarifying whether the NDP would vote in support of a no-confidence motion for the carbon tax election at the first opportunity. Poilievre said Jagmeet Singh sided with Trudeau to quadruple the carbon tax, which would not only force Canadians to rely on food banks but would also cripple the economy and destroy thous

Jagmeet Singh pulls out of supply-and-confidence deal with Trudeau government

In March 2022, the Liberals and NDP penned a deal that would keep the minority government led by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in power until June 2025 and move ahead on some mutually agreeable policies. It was called a confidence and supply agreement. The move puts Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s minority at risk of falling at any time in the coming weeks or months if it loses any confidence votes, which could trigger a snap election as soon as this fall. "Justin Trudeau has proven again and again he will always cave to corporate greed. The Liberals have let people down. They don't deserve
