NDP

Pity Jagmeet Singh’s communications staff, constantly tasked with finding new language for the same empty threat the NDP Leader has been making for years. Mr. Singh has to sound serious but not be serious; he needs to project resoluteness even though he’s the political equivalent of an accordion, bending in every direction and emitting sounds that appeal only to a very niche subset of people.

Earlier this week, Mr. Singh warned that he will rip up his party’s supply-and-confidence agreement with the Liberals if the government doesn’t meet its deadline to introduce a pharmacare plan.

The federal NDP has warned its Parliament Hill staff to prepare themselves for the possible sudden termination of the party’s supply-and-confidence deal with the Liberals — a bipartisan cooperation agreement which may be holding off an early election.

A senior NDP source who was not authorized to speak publicly told CBC News the party held a meeting Tuesday to tell staffers that, with negotiations with the Trudeau Liberals on pharmacare dragging on, the deal could be headed for an early grave.

Garbage Fake News.

The federal New Democrats recently announced a bit of a leadership shake-up: Anne McGrath, whose many past roles have included chief of staff to Jack Layton and principal secretary to Rachel Notley, is stepping down as party president to become principal secretary for Jagmeet Singh. The press release said the changes were about “building momentum for the next election,” which New Democrats could surely use: Over the last two years the Conservatives have surged to roughly 40 per cent in the polls; the Liberals have tanked to roughly 25 per cent; and the NDP is right where it was before, at 20 per cent or less.

With support for the Trudeau government collapsing, it is shocking that the federal New Democrats have stagnated in the polls and failed to win over more young voters. Getting serious on housing might help the party break its malaise.

Singh is even more phony than Trudeau and that takes effort.

It’s one thing to hear people, whether it be celebrities or politicians, say they are just like us normal folks.

But when it’s not backed up, the regular average Joes and Jills will always have something to say.

I know the NDP are dim but how did this transparent fraud get elected?

VICTORIA – Federal New Democrat Leader Jagmeet Singh took political swings at both Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre today at a convention for British Columbia Premier David Eby’s governing NDP.

Singh, whose New Democrats are in a confidence and supply agreement with the federal Liberal minority government, says Trudeau is an out of touch leader who only acts when facing political troubles.

He says Poilievre, meanwhile, only pretends to care and doesn’t know about the struggles and lives of regular people.
