QUEBEC: A Quebec nationalist party said Tuesday it will work with other opposition parties in Canada‘s Parliament to topple PM Justin Trudeau‘s minority govt.
Trudeau’s Liberals have 153 seats in the 338-seat House of Commons and must rely on an opposition party to pass legislation. With parliamentary elections approaching and Trudeau hoping for a fourth term, his party has been trailing the Conservatives in polls with Canadians feeling frustrated by the rising cost of living.
Bloc Quebecois leader Yves-Francois Blanchet said Trudeau’s “days are numbered” after the Liberals failed to meet his demand to boost old age security payments for seniors. However, the party will need the leftist New Democratic Party and the Conservatives – who are eager to force an election – to take down Trudeau’s Liberals. NDP has been supporting the Liberals but their leader recently said it will decide based on each proposed bill.
Trudeau said last week he will lead the Liberals into the next election dismissing a request by some members of his party not to run again.
