Poilievre said that it is “put up or shut up time for the NDP” under its leader Jagmeet Singh, who pulled his official support for Trudeau’s Liberals on September 4. 

Leader of Canada’s Conservative Party Pierre Poilievre said that at the “earliest possible opportunity” he will bring forth a non-confidence motion against Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government which, if successful, would force an immediate election. 

“I’m announcing the common-sense Conservatives will put forward a non-confidence motion at the earliest possible opportunity,” said Poilievre to reporters at a press conference in Ottawa Wednesday.  

Poilievre said that it is “put up or shut up time for the NDP” under its leader Jagmeet Singh, who pulled his official support for Trudeau’s Liberals on September 4. 

“If you’re pulling out, you have to vote non-confidence. If you don’t, you’re still in the agreement, no matter what your video stunt would have everyone else believe,” said Poilievre. 

He then questioned whether the NDP will vote non-confidence to “bring down the costly coalition and trigger a carbon tax election,” or if Singh instead will “sell out Canadians again?” 

For a non-confidence motion to be successful, Poilievre will need the direct support of both the NDP and separatist Bloc Québécois.  

Parliament is set to resume sitting next week.  

As reported by LifeSiteNews, the Bloc Québécois recently hinted that an alliance between the separatist party and the Liberals under Trudeau could become a reality. However, Bloc leader Yves-François Blanchet has since flip-flopped and said this would not be the case. 

As for Singh, on Wednesday he would not commit to voting with the Conservatives, instead saying he would “make a determination of what’s in the best interest of Canadians.” 

The most recent poll, which was taken after Singh terminated his agreement with Trudeau, shows that were an election held today, Poilievre’s Conservatives would grab 51 percent of voters in Ontario alone, the highest number ever recorded.

Canada-wide, 45 percent of Canadians said they would vote Conservative, with the Liberals coming in at second place with 25 percent, followed by the NDP at 15 percent

Canadian veteran says she knows at least 20 service members who were offered euthanasia

Canadian Armed Forces veteran Kelsi Sheren told members of the House of Commons that he has proof of veterans being offered assisted suicide.

Canada’s liberal euthanasia laws have made the practice so commonplace that a Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) veteran has said she knows and has “proof” that no less than 20 of her colleagues were offered unsolicited state-sponsored euthanasia.

Kelsi Sheren, who is a CAF veteran, recently told MPs in the House of Commons veterans affairs committee that “over 20 veterans have confirmed being offered MAID.”

“I have the proof, and I have proof of more,” Sheren told the committee during an October 28 meeting.

Conservative MP Blake Richards asked Sheren if she was willing to provide them with evidence to affirm her allegations.

Sheren noted how the 20 veterans have given written testimonies, or actual audio recordings, of when they were offered what in Canada is known as Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD).

“We also have other individuals who are too afraid to come forward because Veterans Affairs has threatened their benefits,” she told MPs, adding that some other veterans were even offered non-disclosure agreements along with “payouts if they were to take it.”

Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC) has told the media its “employees have no role or mandate to recommend or raise (MAid). ”

As reported by LifeSiteNews, this is not the first time reports of CAF veterans saying they were offered MAiD.

Indeed, as reported by LifeSiteNews, it was revealed last year that the federal department in charge of helping Canadian veterans appears to have purposefully prevented the existence of a paper after scandalous reports surfaced alleging that caseworkers had recommended euthanasia to suffering service members.

A new EPC report has revealed that Canada has euthanized 90,000 people since 2016.

As reported by LifeSiteNews last week, a Conservative MP’s private member’s bill that, if passed, would ban euthanasia for people with mental illness received the full support of the Euthanasia Prevention Coalition (EPC).

Conservative bill would increase penalties for attacks on places of worship in Canada

Conservative MP Kelly Block has introduced Bill C-255 to amend the Criminal Code with minimum penalties for vandalizing religious property amid hundreds of church burnings.

Conservatives are working to increase penalties for mischief directed at places of worship after hundreds of churches have been burned to the ground.

On November 6, Conservative Member of Parliament (MP) Kelly Block introduced her Private Members Bill C-255, which would increase penalties for criminals convicted of mischief directed at places of worship.

“Over the past 10 years, there has been an alarming rise in incidents of mischief committed against religious property of in Canada. Churches, synagogues, mosques, and other places of worship continue to be vandalized,” Block told Parliament.

The bill seeks to amend the Canadian Criminal Code by adding penalties for anyone “who commits mischief in relation to a building or structure, or part of a building or structure, that is primarily used for religious worship.”

According to the proposed legislation, for a first offense, an offender must compensate the property owner in an amount of not less than $1,000. For a second offense, the offender must compensate the property owner in an amount of not less than $1,000 and serve imprisonment for not less than 14 days.

For each subsequent offense, the offender must compensate the property owner in an amount of not less than $1,000 and serve imprisonment for not less than 30 days. If the offense is prosecuted by indictment, the offender is liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 10 years. If the offense is punishable on summary conviction, the offender is liable to imprisonment for a term of not more than two years less a day.

Campaign Life Coalition’s Pete Baklinski celebrated the legislation on X, writing, ” Hundreds of Canadian churches have burned to the ground in the past decade. Carney Liberals don’t seem to care.”

“That’s why it was nice to see Conservative MP @KellyBlockmp introduce a bill today (Bill C-255) to stiffen penalties for vandals who attack churches,” he continued. “About time!”

As LifeSiteNews reported last month, Liberal MP John-Paul Danko dismissed attacks on churches in Canada as “conspiracy theories” despite two churches being targeted in his own riding of Hamilton.

Hate-motivated attacks against Christians are on the rise in Canada. In 2021 and 2022, the mainstream media ran with inflammatory and dubious claims that hundreds of children were buried and disregarded by Catholic priests and nuns who ran some Canadian residential schools. The reality is, after four years, there have been no mass graves discovered at residential schools.

Regardless of this, over 120 churches, most of them Catholic, many of them on indigenous lands that serve the local population, have beenburned to the ground, vandalized, or defiled in Canada.

The attacks are ongoing. Earlier in October, an Alberta Christian church was burned to the ground.
