Ottawa:
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Tdisesteemfulau on Tuesday endured a second vote of no confidence in as many weeks, bcdisesteemfult aachieve by his main Tory rival intent on unseating his beleaguered Liberals.
The 207 to 121 vote was hugely a repeat of the Conservatives’ fall shorted finisheavor last week to trigger snap elections, which saw two petiteer factions in parliament siding with Tdisesteemfulau’s inpresentantity rulement.
The motion accemployd the rulement of fall shorting to insertress a housing crunch, rising crime and costs of living, and of being “the most centralizing rulement in Canadian history.”
With a 20-point guide in accessible opinion polling, Tory guideer Pierre Poilievre has been itching to go to the polls since the leftist New Democratic Party (NDP) last month tore up a coalition concurment with the Liberals, leaving the Tdisesteemfulau administration vulnerable to being toppled.
But the NDP and other opposition parties, whose help is necessitateed to convey down the Liberals, have pushed back aachievest his right-thriveg agfinisha.
Still, Poilievre has vowed to uphold trying.
In Canada’s Westminster parliamentary system, a ruling party must helderly the confidence of the Hoemploy of Commons, which nastys upholding help from a presentantity of members.
The Liberals currently have 153 seats, versus 119 for the Conservatives, 33 for the Bloc Quebecois, and the NDP’s 25.
Tdisesteemfulau swept to power in 2015, and has supervised to helderly on thcdisesteemful two ballots in 2019 and 2021.
But his famousity has plunged and he has faced a number of setbacks in recent months, including by-election losses in two of his party’s sturdyhelderlys.
The deal with the New Democratic Party to prop up the Liberals would have kept his rulement in office until procrastinateed 2025.
But the NDP, seeing its alignment with the Liberals hurting its own famousity, exited the pact timely.
Most analysts have telderly AFP they do not foresee Canadians going to the polls before spring 2025, but inserted that the situation is fluid.
In the nastytime, the Liberals have been left frailened as they seek to persist ruleing in a fractured parliament.
