Last week, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre called on Singh to pull out of the agreement.
Calling Singh’s statement a “media stunt” in a post on X, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre criticized the NDP leader for not saying whether he will vote non-confidence in the government at the earliest opportunity.
Conservatives moving goalposts constantly… colour me surprised until I’m blue in the face.
Poilievre is making a string of very strange political gambles. Doing the rhyming nickname thing, trying to look like a cool badass, going on a string of unusual, foolish-looking, public attacks against rivals.
If the Conservatives don’t do as well as expected in the federal election, I wonder what’s next for them, from a leadership, attitude, and policy standpoint.
This will be Gen Z’s first real federal election to participate in. I’m very interested to see their impact. Convention is to assume that the young won’t vote, but, life and livelihood for the youth in Canada has never been worse, at least in my lifetime.
I disagree. And also I don’t understand how your comment is relevant to the conversation. Making a non sequitur like this isn’t constructive. So, nice try but, you will not divide us!
Young Men have largely been abandoned.
There are many reasons for this, but it still hurts when you need help and kindly get told to get lost because we don’t have supports for men and boys.
If there’s a glimmer of hope I have despite the current >99% CPC majority projection, is that Canadian youth will look to the US, see how much the outlook changes between June and November to know what is possible with an engaged electorate and the appropriate leader to match.
What we’ve got to figure out here is either how we can remove FPTP or come out with a proper plan to vote strategically. Like look at this fucking “Leans Conservative” riding. A massive hunk of bullshit, I tell you.

Edit: I missed a word
I supposed you could say he set a trap and it sprung, but I think this more of the NDP taking a stand on the Rail strike arbitration issue.
Oh Jagmeet…
Singh said the Liberals will not stand up to corporate interests and he will be running in the next election to “stop Conservative cuts.”
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK
We are so fucked.
Edit: to be clear I just think Singh is not the leader to bring us an NDP government. I think they’ll end up gaining only a couple of seats, because his election performance has not been very good.
Singh had many reasonable opportunities to do this over the last few years, but finally pulls the rip cord when the Conservatives are polling way ahead? What the fuck? He’s such a useless piece of shit, why do the NDP keep him around
To paraphrase Terry Pratchett, once you think the problem is that you have the wrong kind of people, you shouldn’t be a leader
Yeah, I thought selecting him for leader was bad years ago, but it’s obvious now that he can’t really do much of anything. Guess we’d better prep for 4 years of conservative austerity since our electoral system is broken.
Defintly seems to be alluding to breaking the rail strike, which is a big deal.
I really worry this will result in a conservative government, however the Liberals cant take the NDP support for granted.
Strategically, this a move that I think shows to the Canadian labour bloc, that actions like what the Liberal minister did to the rail workers don’t go without consequences. Singh can harp on, consoling and hugging union leaders if he wants but rescinding the agreement is one big step above just talk that is within the NDP’s power.
for sure.
It definitly has a Catch 22, because I dont want to see a snap election, I think the conservitives have too much a chance of forming a government, and as rough as the Liberals can be, the conservitives would be far worse… but we can’t have the NDP just being unwavering support for the Liberals.
I’m hopeful the LPC will maintain confidence through their term with NDP support, in absense of the formal agreement.
