  • 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.


  • That’s not how it works. If the conservatives can’t get a majority, the liberals can form a minority government with the NDP or greens. This is what our government currently looks like and it got us dental healthcare. Minority governments can be very effective at creating social change, especially when most Canadians have to be dragged kicking and screaming into policies that benefit them.


  • Singh really shat the bed in the past few months. Attacking the prime minister when we’re under attack from the US? That kind of infighting in the face of adversity is an ugly look. It’s really too bad because Singh made some amazing progress in social democracy and social welfare, he was a tough negotiator and an excellent strategist for years. He picked a bad time to lose the ball. They need a new leader, it’s too bad they’re going to lose a fuck ton of seats to get there.

    My NDP candidate is amazing, I hope they win.





  • Do tankies suddenly like Musk? How is your .ml account not banned for supporting the most bourgeois man on earth? They ban people for saying trust Russia sucks and not this drivel?

    Read some real journalism for a change Musk didn’t do shit. He didn’t start PayPal, he didn’t start Tesla, spaceX has a whole layer of management DEDICATED to keeping him out of screwing anything up, and I don’t think I need to add anything about X.

    I never thought anyone could be so blatantly wrong on every topic, but .ml account keep teaching me lessons on the topic.
