The Liberal-NDP deal is dead — but that doesn’t necessarily mean a fall election

NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh’s decision to pull his party out of the confidence-and-supply agreement with the governing Liberals injects a lot of uncertainty into Canadian politics — and it could lead to a federal election earlier than planned.

The Liberal government is on shakier ground now that it can’t rely on the NDP to prop it up on confidence votes in a Parliament where Team Trudeau holds a minority of the seats.

But it doesn’t mean the government will soon fall on a confidence vote — a vote that determines whether the government has the support of the House of Commons.

Cancelled BC teacher jokes about alleged unmarked indigenous graves by ordering orange T-shirt

Former Abbotsford School District (ASD) teacher Jim McMurtry, who was fired for challenging the narrative about unmarked graves at the Kamloops Indian Residential School, encouraged people to order an orange T-shirt asking about them.

McMurtry had purchased one of the orange T-shirts, which can be worn to commemorate children who died in residential schools.

Amy Hamm: Jagmeet Singh’s exit from deal changes nothing

For a moment there, it looked like we could retire “Sellout Singh” and offer some plaudits to Canada’s NDP leader. Not so.

After a week of Conservative party rumblings about a looming no-confidence vote, NDP leader Jagmeet Singh announced today that his party is pulling out of the supply and confidence agreement that has propped up Trudeau’s Liberals for more than two years. It’s not clear, yet, if Singh plans to trigger an election. That seems unlikely.

Peter Carey: Jordan Peterson’s forced ‘re-education’ should worry millions of Canadians

It appears that freedom of speech is under attack all across the western world. One only has to look at Britain or Ireland to see draconian crackdowns by governments against speech they don’t like. As is typical in these times, it is “woke” leftist governments that are mainly engaging in this behaviour.

Internal docs show Ontario was aware it had an ‘over-reliance’ on international students

As Ontario’s post-secondary institutions come to grips with a far-reaching federal cap on international student approvals, internal provincial documents reveal that the Ford government was aware that colleges and universities had an “over-reliance” on overseas students as a way to make up for budget deficits.

The documents, obtained by Global News, also gave the Minister of Colleges and Universities a dire snapshot of the life of international students in Ontario, highlighting the lack of existing services for students who are dealing with “intensive feelings of isolation.”

NDP announcing it will tear up governance agreement with Liberals

NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh is terminating the supply-and-confidence agreement his party made with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government.

The party is making the announcement in a video being posted on social media Wednesday afternoon. The deal was scheduled to run until June 2025.

“Justin Trudeau has proven again and again he will always cave to corporate greed. The Liberals have let people down. They don’t deserve another chance from Canadians,” Singh said in the video, a transcript of which was obtained by CBC News

NB – Jagmeet’s NDP will still have to vote Justin out, that doesn’t have to happen just because they ended the formal agreement.

“In Canada, The Charitable Status Of The Jewish National Fund Has Been Revoked. This Is An Important Victory”

Canada-based activist and former PFLP official Khaled Barakat said in an August 19, 2024 broadcast on Al-Manar TV (Hizbullah-Lebanon) that revoking the charitable status of the Jewish National Fund is an “important victory,” but is “not enough,” it should be criminalized.

“Canada based” – The faceless unaccountable bureaucrats and our Canada hating pols should be in shackles for inviting mohammedan settlers.

Conrad Black: It’s Time for Canada to Take Advantage of Its Astounding Treasure House of Natural Wealth

It now appears likely that Canada and the United States are having a so-called soft landing and will avoid a recession, and that the worst of inflation is over and is coming down to manageable proportions. However, it should be remembered that the management of the COVID pandemic produced a profound recession—replete with immeasurable psychological damage, economic dislocation to many, and deterioration in education standards—that produced an unnecessary recession. This was a generous gift to the People’s Republic of China which exported the COVID pandemic and greatly profited from it, despite the extreme severity with which Beijing repressed the pandemic within its own borders. And while it is true that the rate of inflation has now been very substantially reduced, it is also true that there was no excuse for the rate of inflation to have jumped as it did in the last five years.

Justin Trudeau tops list of Canada’s worst prime ministers, says new poll

Timing is everything in politics.

If New Democratic Party (NDP) leader Jack Layton had not emerged as the clear winner of the 2011 federal leaders’ English language debate in Canada, the Liberal Party may have had a chance to regroup and stop the Conservative Party from forming a majority government.

If a televised debate had not aired so early on CNN in the presidential electoral season this year, Democratic Party supporters in the United States would not have realized that Joe Biden had to be replaced as their nominee.

NDP to have ‘tough conversations’ about its deal with Liberals at coming retreat: MP

OTTAWA, W.Va. – New Democrat labour critic Matthew Green says his party will be having “tough conversations” about the future of its agreement with the Liberals at a coming caucus retreat.

Two years ago the NDP and Liberals forged a confidence-and-supply agreement, with the New Democrats agreeing to keep the minority government in power until June of next year in exchange for movement on key priorities.

Liberal staffers’ rebellion reveals growing tension over party’s stand on Gaza conflict

More than 50 Liberal ministerial staffers, mostly of Muslim and Arab origin, are refusing to volunteer in the LaSalle-Émard-Verdun by-election because they object to their own party’s stand on the conflict in Gaza, revealing how deeply that conflict is tearing at the Liberal Party.

And while this speaks to the internal division of a tired government, it also reveals how starkly polarized Canadians have become over the Middle East.

We know what side Trudeau is on.

In dueling TV ads, NDP and Conservatives try to define Poilievre to union voters

OTTAWA – New Democrats and Conservatives have both launched television ads that attempt to define Tory Leader Pierre Poilievre to union voters, a group politicians see as having increased power in the next federal election.

The commercial the New Democrats launched across the country last week featured union leaders describing Poilievre as a career politician who “has never been a worker and never stood with workers.” Images include shots of party Leader Jagmeet Singh on picket lines in various locales throughout the country.

Singh? Mr. Rolex? A champion of labour?
