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.”

    Why is it the responsibility of a third party like the NDP to keep up the Liberals in power?

    If the NDP can steal and win former Liberal seats, it seems really dumb not to capitalize on that opportunity. It’s not like the NDP will form government, nor will the Conservatives lose traction in the next 10 months. There’s a Conservative government coming in regardless of how you feel.

      Except the NDP are unlikely to pick up many Liberal seats and will go from holding the balance of power to having no power. I don’t follow this logic.

      It’s not, but when the country is frothing at the mouth over even more unhinged authoritarian/oligarchy leadership than what we have, NDP aren’t going to stand much of a chance on their own. All the going to do is drive more people to vote CPC
