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.”

      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.

        I think Pierre will be easily bought out and let Trump have his way. Fresh water will be piped to the states during his tenure, and he will try to gaslight us into thinking it’s a good deal, that’s my prediction

          All governments everywhere frame their decisions in a way that is akin to gaslighting. If the majority of Canadians disapprove of Pierre’s actions, or we lose the trade war with the US in a meaningful way that deteriorates our standard of living, then they will lose the next election. It’s that simple.

          People blame Trudeau now for all of their ills, as though that he has the power to magically make the economy go up and down with a snap of his fingers. The Liberals made investments in key sectors all the time, including housing starts, climate change and social justice, many of which are never going to be meaningfully acknowledged by people that debate politics online. Pierre is ultimately subject to the same political pressures.

            I agree with you mostly except I’m pretty afraid of Trump and I fear irreversible damage in the next 4 years. If Trump wasn’t in office I wouldn’t be overly concerned about a CPC majority

            Except that it will take decades to recover from that (if we ever do).

        How would a Conservative government be equivalent to Trump’s Canada?

        Because Poilievre is acting just like Trump: Sowing division and mistrust, attacking vulnerable groups, courting extremists, attacking the process of government, displaying willful ignorance of government and the law, reducing complex issues to simple (and wrong) chants, and more.

        The Conservatives have set their sights on the first target - trans people - so if they get a majority, watch them strip basic human rights from members of the trans community. After that will probably be abortion; but not banning it of course, just removing any guarantee of access to safe, legal abortions.
