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.”

      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.

        Somebody’s always propping up another party if you’re Germany or Norway or Spain, though, or you don’t have a government. That’s what I mean. We have something like 2.5 parties, so we’re not used to it, but it’s how it’s “supposed” to work.

          There’s no formal coalition agreement, and I don’t see Trudeau scrambling to offer cabinet posts to NDP MPs.

          The less formal arrangement they had lasted a pretty long time, all things considered.

          But Singh doesn’t owe him anything.
