Conservatives accuse Liberals of wanting to engineer a 'risky pandemic election'

The war of words comes after Government House Leader Pablo Rodriguez gave an interview last week that many Conservatives viewed as a veiled election threat.

“They’re playing politics all the time in the House,” Rodriguez told the Canadian Press, speaking about the Conservatives. “It’s delay, delay, delay — and eventually that delay becomes obstruction.” The Liberals have been particularly incensed at the Conservatives over the assisted dying legislation, Bill C-7. On his Twitter account, Rodriguez has repeatedly accused the Conservatives of blocking debate on the bill by declining to hold evening sittings on it.Article contentRodriguez said the Conservatives are also using procedural delaying tactics to hold up Bill C-19, which makes changes to allow for a safer election during a pandemic, such as more mail-in balloting.

But Deltell said the Liberals “are doing more to hold up their own legislative agenda than any opposition party ever could.” “They failed to manage the legislative agenda, call bills in no logical order, schedule insufficient time for debate on their legislation, and then make public statements accusing Conservatives of playing games,” Deltell said.More On This Topic

Frankly it won’t matter when it is. If the CPC_HQ keep erinotoole at the helm we are unfortunately looking at a possible Liberal majority, despite WE, Payette, Vaccines and every other scandal that will be overlooked.

It's 100% true.. they saw how the DNC pulled it off in the US and have decided it's beneficial to enact a vote now during a 'pandemic' so to enable unreliable voting methods.

If Rona had run for the CPC how things would be much different

erinotoole Conservatives are WORRIED about any election at anytime with Erin O’Toole as leader! THERE head line fixed!

Most of the posturing I have read about re an election has come from the CPC not the current gov’t. The CPC should want to hold this off as they are not exactly raising in the polls & popularity!

erinotoole The only people saying the word election on a daily basis are the CONS and the media. I know you guys have nothing to bitch about these days, but stop deflecting that the Libs want an election. You guys just don't want one because you will lose and that's the truth.

It’s true.

Based on what? The liberals ruse in the polls every time there's a positive vaccine announcement?

btaplatt People may have believed this...a month and a half ago.

Liberals urge opposition leaders to speed up bill ensuring safe election during pandemicDuring debate on the legislation, multiple opposition MPs said there was no need to end debate quickly because there is no imminent need for an election It is less that the Liberals want an election, and more that this bill was introduced at the start of December and we are at the end of March and they are still debating the second reading. Anything can happen between now and when we expect the pandemic to be dealt with. Almost like they think there's an election coming. Trudeau - “I don’t want an election during a pandemic, but hey guys hurry up and let us pass our Safe Election bill.”
