But WTF is Jagmeet playing at? The NDP is tied with the LPC at best and trailing them by a few points at worst. They’re in the 15-20% territory. And that’s without the NDP having a universally unpopular leader. He can’t save Canada from an unabashedly corporate government in the face of Poilievre. A government that’ll likely kill Jagmeet’s signature achievements. Such a move should be the end of his leadership, but more importantly it would be bad for Canadians. I hope he’s just posturing and just pushing Trudeau to resign, which he should absolutely do in my opinion.
If Jagmeet resigned and new blood came in the NDP could be the new party in Canada, but just like Trudeau these people don’t want to give up power, despite not performing well at all.
Oh yeah, that makes sense in addition to pressuring him to resign. That said, if Trudeau doesn’t resign and parliament comes back in session, it’s gonna look real funny when PP calls Jagmeet out on his promise to bring down the government and he doesn’t.
Singh is only 2 points higher in net favourability than Pollievre.
Right now the NDP are forecast to get far fewer seats than liberals. Calling an election will effectively end Singhs tenure as it will become clear how unpopular he is.
By saying ‘we will introduce a non-confidence vote,’ he has some leeway in when it happens. If he holds off for a few weeks, he can actually push bavk the date while pressuring Trudeau.
Meanwhile, Poilievre is going to introduce a motion the second that house is back in session, and Singh can choose to ignore it if he wants because Poilievre jumped the gun.
PP would like that, wouldn’t he.

I assume he’s playing at two things:
Trudeau will have over a month before Parliament is back in session to decide.

One thing occurred to me.
