The federal NDP leader has spent this week furrowing his brow and occasionally shaking his first about the outrage he has witnessed on Parliament Hill: That is, Liberal infighting.

It’s too much, Singh says. The Liberals should be focused on more important things. And that’s why he’s calling on Justin Trudeau to resign.

That is, quite plainly, not up to Jagmeet Singh. He has no more right to demand that the Liberal leader resign than he does to demand that Disney stop remaking old movies or that the Blue Jays sign a power-hitting outfielder. None of it is in his portfolio.

What he can do, however, is withdraw support from the Liberal minority government, which he has still not, somehow, managed to do.
Freeland, eventually, after several years as a loyal henchman, refused to be a rubber stamp, so she was tossed aside in favour of Dominic LeBlanc, a close family friend of Trudeau’s who is sure to do the prime minister’s bidding for as long as he lasts in the job. Having a puppet in the finance portfolio has always been the goal of Justin Trudeau — a man who should go down in history as Canada’s worst ever finance minister…& Jagmeet Singh can’t not (intentional double negative) support him.
Trudeau will next take another page out of daddy’s book and install himself as finance minister .

New Democrats pulled their puds support for the minority Liberal government on Friday, throwing the beleaguered Prime Minister’s tenure into further doubt just minutes before Justin Trudeau planned to shuffle his cabinet, etc…

“The NDP will vote to bring this government down, and give Canadians a chance to vote for a government who will work for them. No matter who is leading the Liberal Party, this government’s time is up,” said NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh in a letter posted on social media.

“We will put forward a clear motion of non-confidence in the next sitting of the House of Commons.”…which doesn’t sit again until I believe January 27th 2025…& then they will drag things out for a month before they do this…or they won’t do it at all?

The NDP were the last party in the House of Commons to give their support to the minority Liberals in the wake of Chrystia Freeland’s surprise resignation as finance minister and deputy prime minister on Monday.

This week Mr. Singh urged Mr. Trudeau to resign but until Friday the NDP Leader said he would not commit to defeating the government if Mr. Trudeau stayed on, saying he wouldn’t be boxed in and was keeping his options open, ‘cuz it’s not February 25th yet.

The news came as Mr. Trudeau’s new ministers were walking up to Rideau Hall to be sworn into the federal cabinet at 11:30 a.m. ET. But it is now unclear how long the ministers will hold their new jobs. The House of Commons is on break until January 27, before then the Prime Minister could choose to resign, call a snap election or try to prorogue Parliament.

(Trudeau has carried out four major cabinet shuffles: one in 2018, one in 2021, one in 2023, and another yesterday)

The selection process does not bear close inspection. Of 153 Liberals, 30 were already in cabinet, 11 have said they are not running again and 40 to 50 are said to want the prime minister to take a long walk off a short pier.

If you weed out the borderline idiots that sneak into every caucus, the prime minister was effectively left with no choice at all.

Justin Trudeau has said he will “reflect” on criticism of his leadership. But the cabinet appointment process has likely made things worse, producing a bunch of ingrates, who got in but expected more, and dozens more malcontents, who got nothing.
David McGuinty’s brother, former Ontario premier Dalton, used to say there is no wrong time to make the right decision. But it would be wrong for Trudeau to wait until late January to announce he is spending more time with his family.

Meanwhile, Jagmeet Singh & his small handful of NDP’ers that continuously prop up the dumpster fire of the Liberal/NDP Party “clarified?” his position…knowing Parliament does not sit again until January 27th 2025, & Jag’s golden parachute comes to fruition February 25th 2025.

Jagmeet Singh’s political riding (Burnaby South) will be replaced by Vancouver Fraserview—South Burnaby and Burnaby Central for the 45th Canadian federal election.

What we really need to have happen is for the Green Party to up its game.

As bad as Jagmeet Singh has been Elizabeth May has been worse. Haven't heard a damn thing from them since they squashed Annimie Pauls attempt to lead the party to respectability.

Nothing wrong with having a few western constituencies vote together.

Both of them? MP’s I mean (not two Green Parties).

I watched a video of Lizzie May just this morning (she may or may not have been drinking already). She said a few things. It’s good to know she’s still alive, having a sign of life like that, or something like it.

She was holding a copy of the most recently released liberal budget from Monday….But she’d never mentioned it.

She went on about it being unfair that they didn’t get the time to have speeches for Chrystia Freeland in parliament the day that she resigned three days after she was fired…& then trailed off into we’re all focussing on the wrong things right now and should be focussing on climate change…it was maybe two minutes of video, but she’s still alive.

Elizabeth May was concerned that the liberal cabinet and caucus would be feeling upset, than about that pile of steaming shit she was holding in her arms showing a deficit of $60 billion from last year. I kid you not.

Below isn’t the video I watched this morning, but it’s the same video by somebody else…that’s what I can find now.

So these newest new Liberal Cabinet ministers, max, get 302 (or 309 if Trudeau & Singh can push back the election until Oct 27th) days in Cabinet, & that’s it, & hopefully a whole Hell of a lot less.

Why bother? Well, how are their pensions calculated? Thats the answer a nutbag nutshell right there. The pensionable salary used in the formula is their highest average salary, which is the five consecutive years where your average salary was the highest. In the pension formula, their highest average salary is divided into two parts: above and below the average Year's Maximum Pensionable Earnings (YMPE).

(Cabinet Ministers get an additional salary for being in Cabinet)

They’re being rewarded for not turning on Trudeau at the Canadian taxpayers expense, & not any other reason whatsoever. I wonder what kind of suspension the Liberal bus uses that Trudeau throws his ministers under?

Well, potentially, the Liberal/NDP or NDP/Liberals…
1734898807808.jpeg
…May not even be contenders for the position of Official Opposition in Parliament after this next election…whenever it’s allowed to happen.
1734898908985.jpeg
And with Donald Trump taking office Jan 20th, 2025 (less than a month from now)…
1734899007113.jpeg
We need an election a year ago. How much more damage can Trudeau & Singh do before they’re out?

Is the plan for Elizabeth May to lead the Green party into the next election again?

A leadership review and election strategy would be high on the list of priorities if I were them. Green is a mainstream party in Europe and could be much more here. Big thing they have the infrastructure in place.

The party is a joke,. They are a party of extremists and crackpots. They don't agree with each other in a lot of cases. They will never unite enough to have a real leader. Elizabeth May is the best they got and that says a lot.
