No that’s not what I’m talking about, it’s hardly even relevant since as you said it was before Trump.
There was no successful vote of non confidence… Just the conservatives putting on a show knowing they didn’t have the votes. Singh promised to topple the government on the next vote, but Parliament wasn’t in session, so he didn’t have the chance. The liberals called an election robbing Singh of the chance to topple government.
I’m talking about after the tariff war started. Singh is part of the government. Right now it’s a minority Liberal government, the only reason we’re in that position is that Singh agreed to ally with the government in exchange for concessions, which was excellent statesmanship and fighting for the average Canadian. When Trump announced tariffs Singh was attacking the liberals more than the cons did. To fight against your allies at a time of crisis is in poor taste. You might not think that’s in poor taste but there was an IMMEDIATE cratering of NDP support so Canadians CLEARLY think it’s in poor taste. They went from 24 seats to polling as low as 3. Sure polls aren’t everything, but they do tell you what Canadians think of his decisions.
I’d say going from 24 seats to 3 is “shat the bed” and I only hope one of those 3 is my riding.
If left wing people and normal people mark it neutral, and right wing people mark it far left, the average will be a left bias for the meter. These kinds of “fairness meters” assume everyone is acting in good faith and the right is never acting in good faith.
This is why we can’t have nice things.
