Legault misses the boat by hoping for the fall of the Liberal government.

Legault is asking the Bloc Québécois to vote against the Trudeau government because the federal government refuses to cut in half the 600,000 temporary immigrants who have arrived in Quebec. What's more, the Trudeau government is refusing to transfer other immigration powers to Quebec. Traditionally, the Premier of Quebec remains impartial when a federal election is called.

This brings us to the Bloc Québécois, which is calling for pensions for people aged 65 to 74 to be increased to the same level as those paid to people aged 75 and over. And they want the federal government to transfer more powers over immigration.

In the end, these demands arrive on the Trudeau government's doorstep as a dead letter. There is no chance that the federal government will grant what the Bloc is asking for. This means that the Bloc will not be able to vote to save the government. On the other hand, the NDP will not be able to vote against the Liberals, because Singh wants to avoid the Conservative Party forming the next government at all costs.

In conclusion, whatever the circumstances, the Trudeau government will not be toppled by the Bloc or the NDP in the Conservative motion of non-confidence.
