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.

You've convinced me that it's overwhelmingly likely the Tories will take Parliament in a tsunami.

What will they do with it? What are your priority issues? If this board is anything to go by, seems like outlawing anything and everything that hurts the feels of prairie farmboys would be Job 1.

Reality.

Odds are good at this point, but an election is still a long ways away.

Not to oversimplify, but a reset of the pocketbook back towards (and then eventually to) living within our means, & the combination of factors to achieve that (increasing income while cutting expenses is what it boils down to). We’re so far down the rabbit hole of spending borrowed money that it needs to be reeled in before our peso is worth fifty cents on the dollar. Yes it’ll be painful and yes it needs to happen.

I'd rather have social unity than an extra $200 to eat high end steak with just my wife.

Based on his rhetoric, Canadians might think that Jagmeet Singh was a harsh critic of the Trudeau government — one who holds the Liberals to account. Yet, by his actions, Canadians who are paying attention will quickly realize that Singh has turned his party into a doormat for the Liberals to walk all over.

During the last couple of weeks, Singh has blasted the Trudeau Liberals as unable to fix the housing crisis, leaving disabled people in poverty, of favouring oil and gas CEOs over ordinary Canadians and failing Canadians on foreign interference.

You would think with a roster of complaints like that, the NDP would take the latest budget as a chance to vote down the Trudeau government. Instead, Singh and his party complained loudly, but tucked tail and announced they would support the budget while “fighting Liberal failures.”
1715606389376.jpeg
Those Liberal failures have only been able to continue for the last two years due to the coalition the NDP formed with the Liberals in March 2022. Despite the Liberals missing several deadlines, despite failing to deliver on the promises of that agreement, Singh — with an eye on his pension — has chosen to keep propping up the Trudeau Liberals.

Better to sell out all principles and collect millions in future pension payments than stand up for what is right seems to be Singh’s mantra.

I’m still trying to figure out what seat where Federally in Saskatchewan that is predicted to potentially vote Liberal in the next Federal election on Oct 27th, 2025 is located…

Here it is, boiled down to a 30 second clip…
…explaining why the Liberal/NDP non-coalition coalition that’s definitely not a coalition-type coalition will endure to the bitter end regardless of any scandal or shenanigans on the part of Trudeau & his merry band of Libtards.
