If Liberals are so confident that Canadians agree with the carbon tax then absolutely an election should be called. Let the tax payers decide!!!

[Risran]

Why? That's a really dumb question. Why would we want to be taxed to death ?!

[knaveDave]

Any member who doesn’t support this is basically losing their jobs.

No one's capitalizing on our anger. We are fed up and yes we are angry 😡
Vote no confidence!

[johnb]

If he didn't throw billions of dollars away for nothing, there would be no need for any extra taxes.

[lindaslider]

Should have been a vote of non confidence a long time ago.😮😮😮😊🇨🇦

[BlueTeamRedTeam]

It won’t pass. But then the NDP will be on record of voting against Canadian interests in favor of Jagmeets pension.

[zaczonesful]

Time for you to dump your boy friend jagmeet!

[gorgeousgeorge]

NDP and Bloc will support Carbon Taxes, then issue statements how they are fighting for affordability.

[johnfairweather]

Notice how she calls the Conservative leader “Poilievre” three times but calls the prime minister “Justin Trudeau”. I think we know who she supports.

[stathiskafidas]

Why? Why???Corruption, taxation to death, incompetence, international humiliation etc. etc. Take your pick.

[alphonsefahim]

Hope this non-confidence vote will pass.

[Meeksballs]

Why would anybody want to pay a tax that doesn't help the environment in any way?

[pamela]

STOP the ACTIVISM and do some real NON BIAS JOURNALISM.

[leonardmacaulay]

Millions of Canadians WILL be watching the House of Commons list of WHO voted to retain the tax. Many MP’s are worried like Jagmeet they will be turfed before pension eligibility .

[dianereid]

If the NDP jumps to Justin Trudeau aide and sides with the carbon tax in the non-confident vote they are the done. The NDP is responsible for Trudeau''s power, harm and hatred of Canadian citizens.

[martinfriesen]

There is no way electoral reform should be up to the governing party.

[kenmoulton]

You'd have to be oblivious to Canadian politics and out of touch with the average Canadian to ask why 😂

[markweber]

I hope it goes through, Wake up NDP, you are helping the Liberals finish this country, voters will remember

[ramit]

The stooge and reporter look nervous. I bet it pinched their butts to concede that Poilievre is ratcheting up the pressure…and that it might work 😂
