NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh pulls out of supply and confidence agreement with Liberals

Singh’s announcement comes less than two weeks before Parliament is set to resume

The Liberals and NDP entered into the deal in March 2022 and it was set to run until June of next year. It has allowed the Liberals to govern in a minority government for nearly three years, well past the average length of a minority.

Pierre Elliott Trudeau former prime minister and father of present prime minister Justin Trudeau won the 1968, 1972, and 1974 elections, before narrowly losing in 1979. He won a fourth election victory shortly afterwards, in 1980, and eventually retired from politics shortly before the 1984 election.

His decision was made after a long, solitary walk through a blinding blizzard,”it seemed like a good day to have a last day … it was a great walk in the snow,” he said.

The tortoise and the other tortoise It’ll be a change election. Eventually.

‘The Liberals must now prepare for an election, which will happen when the election wants to happen, not when Liberals want it to happen. Preparing will include nominating candidates. It’s going to be hard to know how many they will need to nominate, because they’ll have no idea how many incumbents will run again. 

Justin Trudeau, who fired his foreign minister and his finance minister and his justice minister, who called an early election and now warns others against early elections, has converted late to the virtues of tenacity. Others are responding accordingly. Even Jagmeet Singh has managed to outflank him. Soon Canadians will get their chance to thank Trudeau for refusing to change.’
