Bloc Québécois won’t support Conservative non-confidence motion

A non-confidence motion set to be tabled by Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre next week won’t get support from the Bloc Quebecois.  Bloc Leader Yves-Francois Blanchet says he won’t back the motion, saying he and his M-Ps work for Quebec, not the Conservatives.  He’s previously indicated he’d be willing to vote with the Liberals on confidence motions in exchange for the government giving the green light to a Bloc bill about seniors’ pensions.  Poilievre confirmed he will put forward a motion for debate next Thursday, and specifically challenged N-D-P Leader Jagmeet Singh to back it.  The minority government needs to shore up support from opposition parties on a vote-by-vote basis.
