Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has survived a motion in parliament aimed at bringing down his government and triggering an election.

Wednesday's no-confidence vote is the first in a series of similar votes expected to be put forward by the opposition Conservative Party amid Trudeau's plummeting approval ratings.

The motion failed after opposition leader Pierre Poilievre fell short in his effort to shore up support from leaders of two other political parties in parliament, the New Democratic Party (NDP) and the Bloc Québécois.

Trudeau, who has been Canada’s prime minister for nine years, has been leading under a minority government.

This is just more conservative bullshit, trying to topple him. Ole PP, the conservative leader is just like every asshole republican politician, cannot even get a sentence out of his mouth, without disparaging Trudeau. He is about as smart as Comer and as trustworthy as Vance.
