Conservative MP defends petition calling for no-confidence vote against Trudeau from ‘angry,’ ‘wild socialists’
From LifeSiteNews
The popular petition, supported by MP Michelle Ferreri, has received more than 273,000 signatures.
A Conservative Party of Canada (CPC) MP who backed a petition demanding a vote of no confidence and election call against Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his Liberal government is defending her petition from “angry” and “wild socialists” after it exploded to move than a quarter of a million signatures.
The official petition, initiated by Peterborough, Ontario resident Melissa Outwater and sponsored by CPC Michelle Ferreri, who represents the Peterborough-Kawartha, Ontario riding, has as of this writing more than 273,000 signatures.
“200k signatures in less than 2 weeks,” Ferreri posted recently on X (formerly Twitter) about her petition.
“Canadians want change. Canadians want affordability.”
When LifeSiteNews reported on the petition November 28, it already had more than 70,000 signatures.
The petition opened for signatures on November 24, and remains live until December 24. It reads, “We, the undersigned, citizens and residents of Canada, call upon the House of Commons to call for a vote of no confidence and a federal election 45 days following the vote.”
Ferreri has been defending her petition from what she has called “wild socialists” who are criticizing her efforts by claiming that anyone can “fake” sign it.
“What is hysterical about these wild socialists is they don’t even do basic google research,” she wrote on X (formerly Twitter) yesterday.
“Every email needs to be validated by the clerk to count. 2. You can only sign the petition once. 3. You must be a Canadian resident or Canadian citizen to sign any HOC petition. 4. Any Canadian citizen can start a petition and it is a powerful democratic way to elevate Canadians concerns.”
Petitions to Canada’s House of Commons can be started by anyone but must have the support of five Canadian citizens or residents along with the support of a sitting MP.
Once a petition has more than 500 verified signatures, it is presented to the House of Commons, where it awaits an official government response.
The stipulations the petition lays out for the vote of no confidence to take place reads: “The citizens of Canada have lost confidence in Justin Trudeau and the Liberal/NDP coalition. We call on the house for a vote of no confidence. We ask for an election 45 days after the vote if won.”
The petition stipulates that the current Liberal government under Trudeau is “not acting in the best interest of all citizens” due to its ideologically charged agenda of going after people’s “civil liberties” and “unbalanced immigration policies.”
“The policies of this government aren’t aligning with the crisis Canada is facing: housing costs, infringement of civil liberties, highest inflation in history, unbalanced immigration policies, taxation to the point of poverty, weakening of our economy by importing natural resources that Canada already has and under-utilizes,” it reads.
Additionally, the petition states that after over eight years with Trudeau in charge, Canadians are losing confidence in his leadership, especially “after five ethics investigations” have had to be conducted.
As a result, the petition states that Canada’s “reputation” is “being tarnished on a global scale under his leadership.”
Ferreri said that “Socialists are mad” about her petition because “they don’t support democracy.”
“If you disagree with an idea, at least get your facts straight. Here I’ll leave a link to the petition for you,” she added.
“A lot of the trolls are very angry because this is the fastest-growing online petition in parliamentary history,” Ferreri said last week on X (formerly Twitter).
“They (the trolls) like to protect their sweet precious Justin Trudeau, so they are saying all these (negative) things online.”
Ferreri said that if her petition reaches 300,000 it will be the highest for an “online” petition in Canadian history.
She added while signing the petition may be “symbolic in many ways” they are “very valuable” as they “elevate” people’s “voice to send a very big message that you are unhappy and that is very important when we work here at parliament.”
Recent polls show that the Trudeau Liberals’ scandal-plagued government’s popularity has taken a nosedive with no end in sight.
Per a recent LifeSiteNews report, according to polls, were a Canadian federal election held today the Conservatives under leader Pierre Poilievre would win a majority in the House of Commons over Trudeau’s Liberals.
Trudeau’s popularity has been falling and his government has been embroiled in scandal after scandal, the latest being a controversy around a three-year carbon tax “pause” he announced on home heating oil, but only in Atlantic Canadian provinces.
Even top Liberal party stalwarts have called for him to resign.
However, the New Democratic Party (NDP) has an informal coalition with Trudeau that began last year, agreeing to support and keep the Liberals in power until the next election is mandated by law in 2025. Until the NDP decides to break ranks with the Liberals, an early election call is unlikely.

Fortis et Liber: Alberta’s Future in the Canadian Federation
From the C2C Journal
By Barry Cooper, professor of political science, University of Calgary
Canada’s western lands, wrote one prominent academic, became provinces “in the Roman sense” – acquired possessions that, once vanquished, were there to be exploited. Laurentian Canada regarded the hinterlands as existing primarily to serve the interests of the heartland. And the current holders of office in Ottawa often behave as if the Constitution’s federal-provincial distribution of powers is at best advisory, if it needs to be acknowledged at all. Reviewing this history, Barry Cooper places Alberta’s widely criticized Sovereignty Act in the context of the Prairie provinces’ long struggle for due constitutional recognition and the political equality of their citizens. Canada is a federation, notes Cooper. Provinces do have rights. Constitutions do mean something. And when they are no longer working, they can be changed.

Trudeau again blames ‘climate change’ for mostly man-made wildfires
From LifeSiteNews
Trudeau and the media which his government funds appear intent on blaming Canada’s wildfires on ‘climate change’ in what seems to be an attempt to justify radical public policy.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his Liberals are once again blaming Canadian wildfires on “climate change” despite most being man-made.
In a May 10 press release, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland lectured Canadians on the so-called dangers of “climate change” amid Canada’s wildfire season, apparently ignoring that data has revealed that most wildfires are man-made.
“Climate change is here, and we’re making sure our communities are ready,” Trudeau stated.
“Last year was the worst wildfire season in Canadian history, and climate change is only causing more frequent and more extreme wildfires,” Freeland claimed.
In addition to the Liberal government, mainstream media outlets have also started publishing articles attributing Canada’s wildfires to “climate change.”
“The seeds of fire activity were sown over the winter and in past years as the world continues to warm because of human-driven climate change,” CNN claimed in a May 15 article.
Despite the claims of the Trudeau government, the Alberta Wildfire Status Dashboard, which tracks wildfires in the province, found that 232 (72.96%) of the wildfires started this year have been linked to human activity. On the other hand, only 1 (0.31%) was caused by lightning, while 85 (26.73%) remain under investigation.
Last month, Alberta Minister of Forestry and Parks Todd Loewen revealed that his department estimates that most of the province’s wildfires this year are man-made.
Additionally, an April study revealed that while global temperatures have “moderately” increased since 1950, the claim that extreme weather events are significantly increasing is unsupported by scientific evidence.
Telling Canadians the same lies as in 2023
Indeed, Trudeau and the media his government funds appear intent on blaming Canada’s wildfires on “climate change” regardless of the facts, similar to their tactics in spring 2023 when Canada faced one of its worst fire seasons.
“Rise in extreme wildfires linked directly to emissions from oil companies in new study,” Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC), which gets 70 percent of its operating budget via tax dollars from the federal government, claimed at the time.
However, similar to now, Trudeau’s claims were unfounded and contradicted both research and wildfire data.
Indeed, despite claims that wildfires have drastically increased due to “climate change,” 2023 research revealed that wildfires have decreased globally while media coverage has spiked 400 percent.
Furthermore, many of the fires last spring and summer were discovered to be caused by arsonists and not “climate change.”
Last year, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) arrested and charged suspected arsonists for allegedly lighting fires across the country, including in the Yukon, British Columbia, and Alberta.
In Quebec, satellite footage also showed the mysterious simultaneous eruption of several blazes across the province, sparking concerns that the fires were a coordinated effort by arsonists.
Why push the ‘climate change’ narrative?
Trudeau’s determination to push the claim that the fires are unprecedentedly dangerous and caused by “climate change” appears by critics to be nothing but an attempt to pass further regulations on natural resources.
The Trudeau government has continued to insist on so-called net zero carbon policies, seeking a complete elimination of the fossil fuel industry in the future.
The reduction and eventual elimination of the use of so-called “fossil fuels” and a transition to unreliable “green” energy has also been pushed by the World Economic Forum (WEF) – the globalist group behind the socialist “Great Reset” agenda – an organization with which Trudeau and some in his cabinet are involved.
While Trudeau’s plan has been pushed under the guise of “sustainability,” his intention to decrease nitrous oxide emissions by limiting the use of fertilizer has been criticized by farmers. They say this will reduce profits and could even lead to food shortages.
