It appears NDP leader Jagmeet Singh has finally woken up to the fact that Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre is eating his lunch. From union workers to young professionals, polls show the CPC gaining support from demographics historically part of the NDP base.

Liberal-NDP coalition excludes the Anti-Woke Left
It has been just over one year since the Liberal-NDP coalition formed a confidence-and-supply agreement. CBC News says this agreement could be “a model for the future.”
But it’s clear this coalition has not been good for Canadians who don’t buy into a woke political agenda, including the “anti-woke left.”
Adam Zivo: Ontario NDP’s push to ban protest around drag events an affront to free expression
Ontario’s NDP has proposed a bill that would allow the province to ban anti-LGBTQ protests from taking place within the vicinity of certain queer events. While violent protests and bigotry are unacceptable, the bill is poorly thought-out and unacceptably infringes upon Canadians’ civil liberties.
Cross-dressers, Islamists and anti-semites that is one big tent, but still room for NAMBLA I bet …
Singh dreams in technicolor …
Singh ‘not satisfied’ with confidence-and-supply agreement, says he’d do a better job as PM
NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh says he’s “not satisfied” with his party’s confidence-and-supply agreement with the Liberals — signed a year ago this week — because it’s shown him he could do a better job running the country than the current government.
“And so it’s led me to not be satisfied with the position I’m in,” he said. “I want to be the prime minister, but I’m proud of the work we’ve done.”
Jagmeet Singh says NDP is onside with Justin Trudeau and their Communist Chinese Masters won’t trigger an election over sell out of Canada to ChiComs
OTTAWA – The New Democrats say they are not willing to trigger a federal election over rising concerns about foreign interference in Canadian elections, and are instead continuing to push for a public inquiry on the issue.
Newly Independent MP Han Dong voted with opposition parties in favour of such an inquiry on Thursday, the day after he resigned from the Liberal caucus amid what he says are false allegations that he advised a Chinese diplomat on what the Trudeau government considered a high-priority file: the arbitrary and retaliatory detention of two Canadians in China.
None dare call it treason…

The inside story of how the Liberals and NDP faced a crisis that shook their alliance — and why Justin Trudeau’s government survived it
OTTAWA—There were supposed to be no surprises.
It’s the bedrock of the Liberal-NDP deal — a simple notion that, despite the two parties’ competing political interests, neither would ever catch the other off guard.
But eight months into the governing agreement that could see the NDP prop up the minority Liberals until 2025, that principle was violated.
The Liberals had quietly introduced a series of amendments to their firearms bill. And the New Democrats were blindsided.
Despite candidate’s antisemitic comments, Ontario NDP still favoured to win Thursday byelection
Sarah Jama, the NDP candidate for Thursday’s provincial byelection in Hamilton Centre, is strongly favoured to win, despite a history of antisemitic and other radical remarks, because her party affiliation virtually guarantees it, observers say.
NDP standing by candidate who claimed Hamilton police ‘protect Nazism’
New Democrat Leader Marit Stiles is standing by her candidate in Thursday’s Hamilton Centre byelection after video emerged of Sarah Jama accusing the city’s police force of protecting “Nazism” and targeting “Black Muslim Palestinians.”
Ms. Jama is a real piece of work.
NDP Gotta NDP…
Antisemitism charges upend Ontario byelection race in NDP stronghold
HAMILTON — It was expected to be a smooth cruise to victory in a riding staunchly New Democrat for almost two decades under former party leader Andrea Horwath, who quit last year to become mayor of Steeltown.
But accusations of antisemitism against NDP candidate Sarah Jama — which she denies — are buffeting the campaign in Thursday’s Hamilton Centre byelection, putting the disability activist and the party’s newly minted leader Marit Stiles on the defensive.
NDP not ‘ruling out’ making interference inquiry a must for continuing Liberal support
NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh says he is not “ruling out” making a public inquiry into foreign interference a condition for continuing the governance deal with the federal Liberals, but says that is not a decision he is making just yet.
Singh told The Roy Green Show on Saturday that he plans to bring up the issue of foreign interference with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau during their meetings on the confidence-and-supply agreement signed between the New Democrats and Liberals.
NDP leader should be holding Trudeau to account
It would be kind to call federal NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh “two-faced.”
During daylight hours, Singh is the enthusiastic lickspittle of the Trudeau Liberals. “Yes, Mr. Trudeau. Whatever you say, Mr. Trudeau.”
But after dark, “Jag-meek” transforms into “Jag-gernaut.” After propping up the Liberal government all day, Singh opens up his Twitter app and spends his evening hours tearing the Libs new ones.
Jordan Peterson and Rex Murphy: Jagmeet Singh is an empty suit, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma
Is there a single Canadian anywhere in our tranquil Dominion who truly believes he or she knows or understands what the NDP’s leader Jagmeet Singh is doing — and has done?
Does Singh himself? Is there even anyone in the whole NDP caucus who can explain, let alone justify, their leader’s unprecedented actions?
Jesse Kline: Pointless Tucker Carlson motion shows Jagmeet Singh has turned NDP into parody of itself
Even Jack Layton, the patron saint of Canadian socialism, whose so-called orange wave saw the New Democrats form Opposition for the first time in history, could scarcely have imagined the power held by current NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh, thanks to his supply and confidence agreement with the Liberals. Instead of presenting itself as a serious governing alternative, however, the NDP has devolved into a parody of itself.
Is this really what could torpedo Justin Trudeau’s minority government in 2023?
Two large figures in the New Democratic Party — the current leader and the former one — have raised the spectre of a looming health-care election in 2023.
It’s Christmas, not Halloween. Does either NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh or ex-leader Thomas Mulcair really want to scare Canadians as they head toward the holidays and a new year?
Here is a spoiler alert: No, Canada is not likely to plunge into an election over health care next year. It may well be that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s governing deal with the New
Democrats will become more fragile in 2023 — and maybe even fall apart — but health care is probably not the breaking point.
I see no reason for the Staritza to be so panicked. Jaggy knows he’s reached his Peak.
Michael Higgins: Jagmeet Singh hasn’t finished talking yet. But he should be
With so much hot air and wind, Jagmeet Singh must be beloved by balloonists and sailors. But if the NDP leader wants to be taken seriously, it’s time he stopped the bluster.
Singh wants the Liberals to act on the dire state of our health-care system. If so he will need to do more than speak platitudes.
