“Tough Loss”: Trudeau, Liberals react after key Montreal riding lost in byelection defeat

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Liberal cabinet ministers reacted Monday after suffering another devastating byelection blow, with the loss of the Montreal-area riding of LaSalle-Émard—Verdun to the Bloc Québécois.

Trudeau said it “would have been nicer” to have held on to the former Liberal stronghold, but added that his government has “more work to do” to sell Canadians on their message ahead of the upcoming election. He added that Canadians need to “understand what’s at stake.”

Government House Leader Karina Gould echoed Trudeau’s assessment of the upcoming election, saying it would be “very consequential.”

“It was a tough loss for us, but just because you lose the battle doesn’t mean you don’t continue the fight,” she added.

Industry Minister François-Philippe Champagne said Liberals must listen to Canadians and remain “humble,” while Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly said Liberals had heard Canadians “loud and clear.

It is not about the challenges Canadians are facing, but more about the unethical behavior this government enjoys at our peril. We need an election and complete cleansing of the house of the most corrupt government in this history of Canada.

In other words Trudeau will not be stepping down by the liberal party instead will work with the bloc to keep his position as liberal leader

"We need people to understand what's at stake in this upcoming election", what a patronizing and narcissistic thing to say. We understand. Take the hint. You are the problem.

[patriciasjoberg]

"I was born to do this job", from a recording of Justin speaking to Sophie. I see, a boy who has a fantasy of inherited destiny and greatness. Wow, nothing insane here.

[JohnPetro-llgk]

Trudolf aligning with separatists to maintain power shows how broken and ridiculous the system in Canada is.

[pleasantvalleypickerca]

We understand the choice. That's why I'm voting conservative.

After leaving the office, it is essential that Justin Trudeau be held accountable for his actions, which many believe have significantly impacted Canada's cultural identity and economic stability. His policies, particularly regarding housing, immigration, and environmental taxation, have been seen as contributing factors to the challenges Canadians face in their daily lives. While he initially garnered trust through his idealistic and humanitarian rhetoric, his leadership has been criticized as self-serving and disconnected from the realities faced by many Canadians.
