Canadian Conservatives Push for No-Confidence Vote Against Trudeau's Liberal Government
Canadian Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre declares a plan to introduce a no-confidence motion against Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's Liberal government. Poilievre urges NDP leader Jagmeet Singh to support the motion, while Singh emphasizes making decisions in Canadians' best interests. The political tension heightens ahead of upcoming byelections.

Canadian Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre announced on Wednesday his party's intent to propose a no-confidence motion at the earliest opportunity, aiming to topple Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's Liberal government.
Poilievre called upon New Democratic Party (NDP) leader Jagmeet Singh to back the motion and initiate an election. 'Will Jagmeet Singh sell out Canadians again?' Poilievre questioned at a press conference in Ottawa. Singh, however, remained non-committal, stating his party would assess each vote's impact on Canadians.
The NDP recently withdrew from a supply-and-confidence agreement with Trudeau's minority government. The agreement originally ensured NDP support on no-confidence votes in return for progress on mutual priorities. Canada's Parliament is set to resume sessions Monday, with two byelections scheduled for Montreal and Winnipeg.
