Liberals lose another stronghold, call on subsidized media to attack Conservatives
Tonight, on The Ezra Levant Show, Justin Trudeau loses two byelections, and badly. Now his colleagues think censoring the media will save the Liberal Party from utter ruin.
After an unsurprising loss in a Manitoba NDP stronghold, the Trudeau government lost another key riding in central Canada. This time, in Montreal of all places.
LaSalle-Emard-Verdun, once held by former finance minister and prime minister, Paul Martin, is the latest casualty for the struggling Liberals trying to steer the murky waters ahead. The Montreal seat opened up when former justice minister David Lametti left politics.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau already faced calls from party faithful to resign as leader after unexpectedly losing Toronto-St. Paul’s to the Conservatives in a tight byelection this past June.
Elections Canada reported all 187 polls early Tuesday, showing the Bloc Quebecois won the seat only 248 votes ahead of the Liberals. In third, the New Democrats finished 374 votes back for second. But for all intents and purposes, the Liberals were run out of the district.
Liberal House leader Karina Gould calls Poilievre a "fraudster" and "immature" for his call to axe the carbon tax and defund CBC "in a time of disinformation."

As parliament resumed Monday, Liberal House Leader Karina Gould, who's really one of the palace guards, had a media scrum. She proceeded to call him a "bully" and "fraudster". Worse yet, she urged subsidized media to scrutinize the Conservative Party.
“Make sure we are holding [Pierre Poilievre' to account, to ensure he faces the proper scrutiny, because as Canadians get closer and closer to an election he has to answer those tough questions,” said Gould.
“Instead of answering legitimate questions from journalists – that’s his job – what does he do to journalists?” she added. “He attacks them. This is not something done by a responsible leader.”
MP Gould offered no examples, reported Blacklock's Reporter. Poilievre has proposed to repeal media subsidies and cut the CBC’s $1.4 billion annual parliamentary grant.
