Etc….seriously? Months from now?
Hmmmm….gotta get to February 25th somehow.
Really? Really? Hmmm….
Ok, when?
What the Shit Jagmeet???
Really? What’s a month after January 27th?
Ahhhhhh….NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh has announced he will declare a loss of confidence in the Liberal government next year, a move that would trigger an early election should other opposition parties support “his” move???
Singh's Friday pronouncement, which came in the form of an open letter posted on social media, was met with derision from Pierre Poilievre's Conservatives, who said the NDP leader must have had an "epiphany" after his previous refusals to join the Official Opposition (& the Bloc Québécois) in toppling Justin Trudeau's minority government.
The New Democrats ended their parliamentary alliance with the Liberals in early September, but have repeatedly declared confidence in the government when the Conservatives have introduced votes to bring the Liberals down.
Had Singh voted with the Conservatives, "we would be a third of the way into an election campaign right now," Poilievre told reporters. Oh well…
Next year? Now? Jagmeet Singh and Pierre Poilievre offer competing visions of when to topple Justin Trudeau's government — Toronto Star
The New Democrats and the Conservatives have now both said they will attempt to bring down the minority Liberal government, but one is in more of a hurry than the other.
Hes not going to get his seat back. Its not an ethnic riding one way or other. Its not "rich" part of Burnaby. A handful of high end and rental condo towers across the street from low end rentals and commercial/light industrial. Blue collar and high crime. Lots of homeless camped in Central Park.
Etc….seriously? Months from now?
And then he’s voted in support of the Liberals & Justin Trudeau every single time since in the last three months…so 8/8 so far?

“We’ll have Canada’s best interests at heart.” Blanchet said his party would continue to speak only French in the House of Commons. But when asked if he had a message to English Canada, he said "people don't have to fear us."
As Justin Trudeau's minority government teeters and polls point to a possible collapse of the Liberal vote, Blanchet said he's staying focused on earning the confidence of Quebecers. "Quebecers will give us a mandate, and we'll carry it out responsibly by always repeating to ourselves, I hope, that we have to live with modesty," he said.
The most recent projections from poll aggregator Canada338.com show that if an election were held today, the Conservatives led by Pierre Poilievre would win a crushing majority of 232 seats. The site suggests the Bloc is running a distant second with 45 seats — but ahead of the Liberals with 39, the NDP with 25, and the Greens with two.

At least one NDP MP is reluctant to bring down Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government and force a federal election if it means putting Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre in power???
“I have a long and consistent record of opposing Mr. Poilievre’s tactics. I do not believe he is fit for leadership and will not support his procedural games,” said New Democrat Charlie Angus, in an email to National Post, in a reference to a Conservative ploy to use the public accounts committee to quickly bring down the government in January.

NDP MP says he won't play Poilievre's 'procedural games' to bring down Trudeau — National Post
Angus said he would 'put country first' and would 'not vote with Pierre Poilievre to force an election'
Williamson, who chairs the committee, said the motion could pass in time for a vote in the House of Commons on Jan. 27. If passed, that motion would trigger an election.
It’s unclear what New Democratic Party Leader Jagmeet Singh will do, although he earlier indicated he’d support a non-confidence motion. NDP MP Charlie Angus said he’ll vote against it.
EDITORIAL: Get the fiddle, er fuddle-duddle out — Toronto Sun
Modern historians dismiss the legend about Nero fiddling while Rome burned. It’s unlikely the Roman emperor played the fiddle — which wasn’t invented until the Middle Ages. Still, it’s an evocative image that conjures up visions of an unhinged ruler out of touch with his people. A modern...
(Calling for a non-confidence vote isn’t a “game.” It’s a time-honoured parliamentary procedure in a minority Parliament. It allows voters the opportunity to change their government in an orderly manner. It’s called democracy and Angus should read up on it)
Trudeau could pre-empt such a move by proroguing Parliament, shutting down all business. He’d likely quit and call for a Liberal leadership convention.

His statement calling for Trudeau’s defeat meant nothing when he said it, and it means nothing until he acts in a way that backs up his words.
Political observers say it’s possible that Trudeau could ask Governor General Mary Simon to prorogue Parliament in the next few days, with all three opposition party leaders saying they’ll back a non-confidence motion when Parliament resumes in late January.

A group of NDP supporters is calling on party leader Jagmeet Singh to vote down what they describe as the worst government in Canadian history.
Will it make a difference?
It’s hard to say, Singh now says he will vote non-confidence in the Trudeau government, but he “ripped up” his coalition deal with Trudeau in September and then voted to support the Liberals eight times between September and December. Then, on Dec. 20, after the House had already shut down for their Christmas break, Singh released his “Letter to Canadians” saying he wanted to bring down the government.
It’s a bit rich for Singh to state on Dec. 20 that he’s ready to bring down the Trudeau government just days after he had voted to keep them in power. It’s also rich for Singh to put out that statement at a time when the House of Commons won’t be meeting for more than a month.

….aaaand Trudeau is out, except he’s not. He’s managed to suspend parliament, resign (sort of), appoint himself as interim leader, for the next several months, without parliamentary oversight…with Trump coming in…in 2 week…not four months from now. How much damage can this guy do in the next 1/3rd to 1/2 of a year as he’s written himself a blank cheque on Canadian…everything…
…as the country is forced to wait to elect the actual government they want?
Sunny ways , but he sure stopped Harper .….aaaand…here we are. Surprise surprise…
….aaaand Trudeau “intends” to resign once the Liberals select a new leader, & make he/she/them/there the de facto PM. Coincidentally Jagmeet gets his pension.
Here’s Mr Singh telling you how much he fought the liberals (while supporting them in every last vote for the last 30 months, keeping them in power, regardless of what scandals they were involved in) for you.

…as the country is forced to wait to elect the actual government they want?
Jagmeet Singh is about to be relegated to a footnote in Canadian history. And the footnote will probably read like a joke.
We can reasonably expect it to look something like this: “Canada’s scandal-riven Justin Trudeau era, from 2015 to 2024 also contained an odd era for the country’s ‘always a bridesmaid, never a bride’ New Democratic Party, which, from 2017 on, was led by Jagmeet Singh. After leading the party’s fall to fourth-place status in the House of Commons in 2019, Singh entered into a supply and confidence agreement with Trudeau’s minority government in 2022. He was frequently accused of using the agreement to procure his full government pension.
“Singh was widely regarded by Canadians as a ‘champagne socialist’ and ‘Rolex Robin Hood’ for his expensive taste in fashion and cars. A lawyer, he would go on to loudly publicize that he was ‘ripping apart’ the supply and confidence agreement that was keeping an intensely disliked Trudeau in power. However, his dramatic proclamation was followed by zero action, as the man propped up the failing Liberal government until its dying breath.
apple.news
“After the 2025 federal election, Singh was forced out of both his riding and his position as party leader. After an unsuccessful attempt at becoming a social media influencer, Singh was rarely seen in public after 2027. When he was, it was behind the tinted windows of the aging, faded Maserati he drove at the height of his political career, as his pension was not enough to maintain his lavish lifestyle. Following his departure, the NDP never regained the respectability or vote share seen during the Jack Layton years that preceded Singh.”
On the NDP’s website, Singh is attributed with forcing Trudeau to double the COVID-19 CERB payments to $2,000 per month. The praises continue from there: “When (Trudeau) wanted to cap CERB at 16 weeks, Jagmeet made him extend it to 28 weeks. When he wanted to give employers only a 15 per cent wage subsidy Jagmeet fought and won to increase that to 75 per cent.” It is now both evident and widely accepted that Canada’s pandemic-driven money printing madness — resulting from unscientific and harmful lockdown policies — was a disaster for our national debt and economy.
If Singh did not attribute these disastrous economic programs to himself, would there be anything left for him to take recognition for? The national dental plan? He might not want credit for that one, either. It’s another costly initiative, one that could backfire by paradoxically driving up the cost of dental care. Care paid for by us, the taxpayers.
