Dear Friend,
Yesterday, the Bloc Québécois declared its intent to bring down the Trudeau government at the first chance it gets after its ultimatum to pass two specific laws expired.
This push for an election couldn’t come at a worse time, and we believe it shows a reckless disregard for the interests of Canadians and Quebecers.
Right now, we’re on the brink of receiving a report from the Foreign Interference Commission—a critical investigation aimed at uncovering the extent of foreign meddling in Canadian politics, which may have reached as far as the Conservative leadership race that Pierre Poilievre won.
Canadians deserve answers from this report before an election is even considered. We MUST ensure that all parties involved are transparent and accountable about any possible foreign ties. The fact that Pierre Poilievre doesn’t want to get his top security clearance is unsettling, as our leader Elizabeth May explained in her latest Good Sunday Morning:
"The parliamentary committee on foreign interference mentions allegations that the Indian government interfered in the Conservative Party leadership race that Poilievre won. If he owes any favours to the Modi government, that could explain why he does not want to ask for clearance – just in case CSIS were to decide he should not get it. As prime minister he would receive it automatically, so voters only have until before the election to demand he get clearance, or at least attempt to get it."
Calling for an election right now is irresponsible. It jeopardizes the future of our democratic process. The Bloc’s reckless move to force an election prioritizes politics over national interest.
As a party committed to responsibility and accountability, we’re deeply concerned. Canadians deserve the full story on foreign interference before going to the polls. While other parties rush for political gain, the Green Party is focused on the long-term integrity of our democracy.
To continue this essential work, we need your support. By donating to the Green Party, you’re helping us prioritize the security of our democracy and advocate for responsible governance. Stand with us for a Canada that puts people first.
