# ‘The Liberals don’t deserve another chance,’ NDP leader says in letter
>Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says the House of Commons should be recalled now that NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh is vowing to bring forward a motion of non-confidence to take down the Liberal government.
>”The Liberals don’t deserve another chance,” Singh wrote in an open letter on Friday. “That’s why the NDP will vote to bring this government down.”
>Speaking to reporters on Friday, Poilievre said the House shouldn’t wait until it comes back from the winter break in January.
>”I will be writing the Governor General asking her to urgently reconvene Parliament and require a non-confidence vote so the prime minister can judge whether he stays in power,” he said.
>It’s unlikely that Governor General Mary Simon can do what Poilievre is asking her to do. The House currently stands adjourned but is still in session. According to House of Commons rules, it’s up to the Speaker to recall MPs when the House is adjourned. The Governor General also has no authority to dictate the House of Commons’ agenda.
>Singh’s letter comes as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau shakes up his front bench in the wake of Chrystia Freeland’s sudden resignation from cabinet on Monday.
>Singh called on Trudeau to resign after Freeland quit, but he hadn’t been clear about whether his party would vote to bring down the Liberals until Friday.
>For the past few days, Singh has said he did not want to commit himself to any one course of action and would not promise to help take down Trudeau’s government.

Trudeau should prorogue just so a new leader can be elected, and then everyone can watch as PP doesn’t change his schtick because Tories are only capable of bitching about Trudeau, lmao

The CPC is basically a shoe in, which sucks because they are going all in on killing a budget neutral progressive carbon tax and dividend, severely cutting immigration, and trying to cut what they can from recent welfare expansions. What a bunch of dirtballs.
They aren’t even for the Housing accelerator fund even though that’s the main federal stick for Parliament.
