Non-Coalition Coalition that’s Definitely NOT a Coalition…

Ahhh….ok….& the NDP where the party Unions supported back when the NDP was Union friendly instead of the “Left of Left fringe party” before the Liberals began trying to ‘Out-Left’ them leading to the merger in all but name of the NDP/Liberals (or is it Liberal/NDP’ers?) back when they came out’a the closet before the Ottawa parking situation of early 2022 with Jagmeet & Justin finishing each other’s sentences….Before the announcement of their current supposedly temporary merger.
So we’re going to see demands for cost-of-living increases to try and not only keep up with the inflation in Canada (where they don’t count food or fuel as part of anything that’s been inflated) but outpace it, so that’ll be…whatever it’ll be I guess. Good times.
Currently Chuck Angus and Gabrault are the best vote getters the Conservative Party has.Federal Environment Minister Stephen Guilbeault, whose press secretary told the CBC:
“We welcome the NDP’s bill to the House. Advertisement has a big role to play in public perception, and the industry is racking in record profits. We will carefully assess their bill and look forward to productive debates and discussions around this important issue.”

On the face of it, NDP MP Charlie Angus’ private member’s bill to fine people who say positive things about Canada’s fossil fuel energy sector up to $1 million and jail them for two years is absurd.

“So If I were the Liberals, I think there's an opportunity to divorce themselves from this deal, get themselves away from the agenda, which I think is actually starting to harm them over time,” he said.

'There's an opportunity to divorce themselves': Strategists weigh in on future of Liberal-NDP deal — CTV News
With NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh putting the Liberals 'on notice' that it could be a deal breaker if they don't deliver on a pharmacare framework by March 1, the weekly panel of political strategists on CTV's Question Period weigh in on the future of the parties' confidence-and-supply agreement.
Singh's hopes appeared to be fading Tuesday as he explained what the NDP's relationship with the minority government will look like if the deal dies next month.
The NDP wouldn't automatically support the passage of government bills, and the Liberals would have to negotiate with them every time they want support, Singh said.
BUT….but his foot dragging & grumbling, if pushed…will back the Liberal/NDP’ers until the election in the Fall of 2025. The NDP:
1) can’t afford an election not financially
2) Jagmeet’s pension doesn’t come to fruition until the Spring of 2025
3) this is the closest the Federal NDP has come to actual power, or will come to power in the foreseeable future
"That doesn't mean we can't find ways to pass other bills that we still support. That doesn't mean that we can't continue to push ... things like the anti-scab legislation that we want to see happen," he said.
In other words, the other elements of the agreement aren't necessarily doomed if the deal falls apart.
When it comes to major votes that could trigger a snap election, such as on the budget, Singh said the NDP would have to figure it out on a case-by-case basis… meaning the NDP will back the Liberals no matter what until the Fall of 2025…
Pulling support from the Liberals if they don't meet the March 1 deadline is "not well thought out strategy," Liberal MP Hedy Fry chimed in on social media Tuesday.

As pharmacare deadline looms, Singh mulls a future without NDP's deal with Liberals
NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh is mulling what it would mean if the supply-and-confidence deal that ties his party to the Liberals should end prematurely.

What is with this kind of stuff. Trudeau travels with a cavalcade of security , why are they all so afraid and what are the intelligence agencies telling him that they aren’t telling us ?
The Liberal minority government will lose (maybe) its supply-and-confidence non-coalition coalition that’s definitely not a coalition-type coalition deal with the New Democrats if it doesn’t deliver a pharmacare bill that includes plans for a single-payer, universal system to cover prescription medications, New Democrat Leader Jagmeet Singh says.
At a Tuesday press conference on Parliament Hill, Mr. Singh made his strongest comments yet about what his party expects from the promised legislation. The bill is a key part of the agreement that the NDP struck with the government nearly two years ago to keep the Liberals in power no matter what.
Through it, the NDP agreed to support the Liberals in the House of Commons until 2025 in exchange for policy concessions such as anti-scab legislation, dental care, pharmacare, & the illusion of relevance.
Under the original agreement, the government said it would pass a Canada Pharmacare Act by the end of 2023 as part of its progress toward a universal national program. However, the NDP granted the government an (the first one so far) extension on that pledge, and the Liberals now only need to introduce the bill by March 1…
“If they don’t make this deadline again, then they would have broken the agreement,” (again?) Mr. Singh said, adding the NDP expects the pharmacare bill to include a legal framework and “it has to be single-payer, universal.”

The government relies on the supply-and-confidence non-coalition coalition that’s definitely not a coalition-type coalition deal with the NDP to ensure their policy agenda gets through the House of Commons and doesn’t get bogged down by Opposition delay tactics. For example, the NDP votes with the Liberals to shut down democratic debate and force votes.
Bloc Leader Yves-François Blanchet said Tuesday that he hopes the deal is ripped up as of March 1, so that Parliament returns to functioning as a true minority, where the government needs to negotiate support for bills on a case-by-case basis.
If the deal is broken, Mr. Singh said his party would no longer provide such support automatically, though he also said he wouldn’t necessarily (meaning at all before the Fall of 2025) force an election either…
The Liberal government is politically weaker than it was when it signed the “Honk-Honk Handshake” deal with the NDP in 2022, and the New Democrats are now raising the stakes (in Poker it’s called Bluffing) and asking for more to keep their support, said Karl Bélanger, president of Traxxion Stratégies and former NDP national director. He said the brinksmanship comes with risks because he doesn’t believe it’s in either party’s interest for their agreement to fall apart.

‘Workers are fed up:’ Unions warn of labour turmoil as thousands of contracts due to expire — Toronto Star
From flight attendants to more than 70,000 health care workers, experts warn this year is ramping up to be a repeat of last year’s labour unrest
The end of the (Non-coalition coalition that’s definitely not a coalition-type coalition) accord wouldn’t automatically (or at all) mean a snap election.
In addition, does the NDP really want to provoke an election now, which if the polls are accurate, would result in a huge Conservative majority where the NDP would have no say? I’d say big nope.
