Bloc Québécois Leader Yves-François Blanchet said Wednesday his party will vote against a Conservative non-confidence motion due to be tabled next week — giving the Liberal government enough votes to stay in power and avoid an imminent election.
“Will the Bloc vote in favour of the Conservative motion next week? The answer is no,” Blanchet said in French.
“The motion contains absolutely nothing. It essentially says: Do you want to replace Justin Trudeau with Pierre Poilievre? The answer is no,” he said.
Blanchet said the Bloc is “at the service of Quebecers,” not Conservatives.
The Bloc knows they are in a far better negotiating position now then if an election were to be called immediately. If Cons get a majority as 338 predicts, they will give zero fucks about the other parties.

The Bloc has always stood apart, on its own, for its people. And I have always admired that about them.
Too bad the rest of our parties couldn’t take a page from the Bloc’s operating manual and do that once in a while … even just for kicks.
Right, so on par with literally every mouth noise PP has ever made
I do want trudeau to fuck off but I also want pp to fuck off. They both seem equally full of shit, disingenuous, punchable face, etc.
