Trudeau will next take another page out of daddy’s book and install himself as finance minister .View attachment 26285
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.

It doesn't matter who the actual minister is, the prime minister controls all

The other parties are going to prop up the government when pigs fly. It will be interesting.
As soon as parliament adjourns he starts cocking off about what he is going to do in 6 weeks time.
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.
