The Conservatives’ attempt to bring down Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government with a non-confidence motion was virtually dead on arrival when the Bloc Québécois quickly said it would refuse to support it. No wonder: with no NDP deal to back the Liberals, the Bloc suddenly finds itself with significant power over the Liberals, as Brian Lilley discusses in our politics roundtable with columnist Tasha Kheiriddin and Ottawa bureau chief Stuart Thomson, the team behind Postmedia’s Political Hack newsletter. They also get into what the recent Montreal byelection says about how badly Liberals are losing Quebec to the Bloc. And why the recent Winnipeg byelection shows that the Tories’ big challenge in many ridings come the next election will be winning over alienated New Democrats. (Recorded Sept. 18, 2024.)
