Singh says NDP will vote to bring down Trudeau government
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.
Just to remind everyone: Layton pulled this same stunt, toppling Martin’s government.
Refusing to support a sitting government mired in scandal isn’t a stunt—it’s taking a stand. Calling an election wasn’t just the right thing to do; it was unavoidable after the Office of the Auditor General laid bare the extent of corruption. This wasn’t a minor misstep—it was a government blatantly diverting public funds to secure its own re-election. Propping up such a government would have been a betrayal of public trust.
Pinning the blame on Layton because the only viable alternative brokerage party to form government was the Conservative Party is absurd. That’s not on him; it’s on the corrupt Liberal party establishment of the time for destroying their own credibility. A lot of voters are only used to the reformed Liberal Party under Trudeau, but there was a point in time where the Liberal party apparatus was very different.
Let’s be clear: the fault lies with those who abused their power, not with those who refused to stand by and enable it. Misrepresenting this as opportunism is a deliberate distortion of the facts, designed to deflect attention from the real issue—a government that deserved to fall. Just admit you're pro-corruption and move on.
Can this wait until Feb 1? Give Canadians a bit more of a chance to see the US get fucked first.
The Liberals don't deserve another chance, sure, but handing the election over to the conservative party? What the fuck...
I guess it's PP time...
Yeah, WTF is he thinking? At least wait until October after we've had a chance to put out the Trump fire a bit.
Hopefully it's a bluff to get Trudeau to resign, but that's not really the typical NDP MO.
"Maybe when Canada is fed up with the Cons, they'll vote us in!"
Shortsighted buffoons
Dang welcome to Trump's Canada I guess. Scary times boys
How would a Conservative government be equivalent to Trump's Canada? I don't really understand the alarmism. This government was already on it's last days, and there's always going to be a point in time where things must get worse to get better. Waiting 10 months to expect a different result other than a Conservative majority is just copium, and Trudeau had the option of not calling a snap election in 2021 too.
