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."

And that's worth a PP government? IMO he's lost the plot if that's his entire line of thinking.

I'm torn on this.

On the one hand, I agree that a PP government is a terrible thing.

On the other hand, it's hardly the NDP's job to prop up another political party.

You want a two-party system, then. That's pretty much the only way for parties to never work strategically.

No. That's not what they're saying at all.

The NDP is not in government. Trudeau did not form a coalition, he decided to form a single-party cabinet in a hung parliament. This is how this always plays out.If he wanted stability, he could have formed a coalition.

Formal coalition vs. informal support is a distinction without a difference, though.
