NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh says his party will bring forward a motion of non-confidence to bring down the Trudeau government in the next sitting of the House of Commons.

“The Liberals don’t deserve another chance,” Singh wrote in a letter on Friday. “That’s why the NDP will vote to bring this government down.”

    Just to remind everyone: Layton pulled this same stunt, toppling Martin’s government.

    The result was the loss of a number of progressive initiatives Martin’s people were working on, the election of fucking Stephen Harper and the most conservative Canadian political landscape since Borden. Science was suppressed, lslamophobia went from being a dogwhistle to a bullhorn, we narrowly avoided economic catastrophy. Harper even fucked with the Census in an attempt to remake Canada.

    A lot of dippers really idolized Layton, but honestly he was a shameless opportunist and I don’t forgive him for giving us almost a decade of Harper.

    And Singh is pulling the same fucking stunt.

      Poilievre is winning a majority no matter what, I’d rather get it out of the way sooner instead of sitting through another year of ineffective Liberal virtue signalling.

        There a good chance PP will just get more conservative votes in already conservative areas and still end up with a minority.

        At that point he’ll have to find another party to work with and he’s already pissed them all off.
