Well, looks like Canada could have a new prime minister before Spring.
That’s because NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh just announced his party will vote to topple the federal government, joining a pledge that the Conservatives and Bloc Québécois have already made.
“The Liberals don’t deserve another chance. That’s why the NDP will vote to bring this government down, and give Canadians a chance to vote for a government who will work for them,” Singh wrote in a Friday press release.
“No matter who is leading the Liberal Party, this government’s time is up. We will put forward a clear motion of non-confidence in the next sitting of the House of Commons.”
There are a few things that could put a wrench in this, though. Prorogation. Petty spats over whose non-confidence motion will get to be the Big One. Any party pulling an about-face.
But most likely, we’re about to be headed for a Happy New Pierre (Poilievre).
I break it all down in my latest video.
