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.”

      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.

        “The Bloc will let me do some performative grand standing. I hope.”

        I hope so too but it doesn’t really seem like a smart move since it’d make their threats seem empty (though actually going through with this isn’t smart either…)

          Well, memories tend to be short in politics, and even then it’s only credibility-damaging if it gets called. If it was the conservatives I’d pretty much just assume it’s a bluff.
