Like the boy who cried wolf once too often, NDP leader Jagmeet Singh is again playing coy about whether he will support Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s latest budget.
And SURPRISE!!! (Not surprised) NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh on Wednesday ended any speculation his party would pull out of its deal with the minority Liberal government by finally agreeing to support the government's budget.
By his non-definitive answers, he’s also raised the possibility the NDP no longer supports the federal fuel charge component of Trudeau’s carbon tax which is scheduled to increase the cost of gasoline, natural gas and 20 other forms of fossil fuel energy every year from now until 2030.
Phew!! Close call (not). Singh said his party wanted time to digest the document, which was tabled April 16, but is ultimately voting in favour of it because of shared initiatives that it proposes.
But then pretty much anyone anywhere reminds Jagmeet that the election got moved from Oct 20th to the 27th, 2025. Nod-nod…wink wink!!! Didn’t matter that the non-coalition coalition definitely wasn’t a coalition-type coalition….’cuz Mr Singh propped up the Liberals and continues to do so….no matter what…and will…no matter what…& the winds of change are blowing.
Jagmeet’s pension comes to fruition on February 25th, 2025….& I’m assuming the budget vote (a mandatory confidence vote) will happen before that date. Another 12/24 NDP MP’s pensions won’t happen unless the election doesn’t happen until Oct 27th, 2025.
