Trudeau Survives Second Non-Confidence Vote in Parliament

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's minority Liberal government withstands another challenge from the Conservatives.

  • Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's government defeated a second non-confidence motion with a 207-121 vote in the House of Commons.
  • Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre accused the Liberals of failing on affordable housing, cost of living, and crime, but failed to gain enough support from other parties.
  • The Bloc Québécois and NDP backed Trudeau, with the Bloc setting an October 29 deadline for the government to meet demands on seniors' pensions and supply management protections.
  • The Conservatives have a significant lead in polls, with 42% public support compared to 22% for the NDP and 21% for the Liberals.
  • Additional non-confidence motions are expected in the coming weeks, as Trudeau faces increasing pressure to resign.
