NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh says he has put Prime Minister Justin Trudeau “on notice” that the failure to present a sufficient piece of pharmacare framework legislation by the March 1 deadline will be a supply-and-confidence deal-breaker.
According to the article, Singh is only saying the NDP will leave the supply and confidence pact. That doesn’t mean they’ll vote against the government on a confidence motion.
That’s good for the NDP, come next election. They get to say they humanized the Liberals policies, but they withdraw support when the Libs didn’t hold their end of the bargain.
The Liberals are plummeting in the polls, so Singh is probably hoping to pick up some disillusioned Liberal votes next election.
Singh is smart but if he actually drops support for the Liberals, he’s ensuring Squinty McProudboy will become PM and there’s no way Singh gets any concessions from a Conservative.
And us 🔤 voters are standing by to vote however is needed to avoid Bitcoin Milhouse.
I appreciate that. We can ill afford a PM who’s never had a job in the real world.
Just to make a prediction I can point back to.
If these people like this get what they want 20 years from now we’ll have the same dream team duo of Liberals\Conservatives run the country like we’ve had the previous 40 years and continue to trend in the same direction.
The political talking point will also still be how the other guy is the devil reincarnate and 4 years of them and we’ll be doomed.
Agreed, this is just posturing.
The word is ‘politics’
