Bloc threatens to push for an early election if government doesn't top up pensions by Oct. 29 | CBC News

Bloc Québécois Leader Yves-François Blanchet laid out a list of demands Wednesday he said the government must fulfil by the end of October if it wants to avoid the risk of an early election.

 

Speaking to reporters on Parliament Hill, Blanchet said the Bloc wants the government to push through a bill, C-319, that would hike Old Age Security (OAS) payouts by 10 per cent for seniors between the ages of 65 and 74. The government topped up OAS payments for seniors aged 75 and older in 2022.

Blanchet also said he wants the government to agree to pass a Bloc private member's bill, C-282, that exempts the supply-managed farm sectors — dairy, poultry and eggs — from any future trade negotiations.

He said those demands must be met by October 29. If they're not, he said, the Bloc will start negotiations with the Conservatives and the NDP on toppling Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's government.

Well here we go. 

The problem for him is that the NDP will probably prop up the libs after that deadline anyway and he'll get nothing.  jaggers won't be calling an election till he gets his pension, ESPECIALLY considering his riding is now polling for the cpc.

Nothing can happen that fast and the supply management bill will never get passed.

Bloc is blowing smoke again LOL

Any "demands" from a separatist party that only runs candidates in one province should be ignored.

Bloc voters can get effed.
