With the NDP staring down some of the worst poll numbers in their history, leader Jagmeet Singh is suddenly walking back his pledge to bring down the Liberal government at the earliest opportunity.

Canada’s 2nd Most Despised Politician Urges Parliament to Reconvene for Vote on Emergency Tariffs Aid
NDP’s Singh Urges Parliament to Reconvene for Vote on Emergency Tariffs Aid
NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh is calling for an emergency session of Parliament to implement supports for companies and workers impacted by the newly imposed 25 percent U.S. tariffs on Canadian products.
Singh is also urging lawmakers to implement employment insurance (EI) reforms as companies in various sectors grapple with layoffs.
The NDP leader’s March 4 call for an emergency Parliament session comes the same day the U.S. tariffs came into force.
TIME’S UP: Singh officially qualifies for pension Monday
Tomorrow’s the day! Jagmeet Singh has officially qualified for his pension.
After years of propping up Justin Trudeau and the Liberals, the NDP leader had a change of heart when it became clear he could vote against the governing party and still secure a hefty paycheque when he turns 65.
Is the NDP in trouble? Party faces an uphill battle if snap election is called
The 2025 federal election seemed to have all the makings of a breakthrough for Canada’s New Democratic Party.
Polling shows voters want change. The Liberal Party is leaderless. Plus, those vying to replace Prime Minister Justin Trudeau have promised policies that would move the party back to the political centre, leaving the NDP to pursue progressive policies like taxing the wealthy.
But at this point, at least, many things don’t seem to be working in their favour.
The NDP is tanking thanks to Singh who has managed to make himself as despised as Trudeau.
Mark Carney’s rise in the polls drives attacks from NDP’s Jagmeet Singh
OTTAWA—NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh is ramping up his attacks on Liberal leadership candidate Mark Carney, painting him as a corporate-friendly politician who will slash public services just like Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre.
In a campaign-style speech to labour organizers in Edmonton on Thursday, Singh argued Carney’s pledge this week to balance the federal operating budget and cap the growth of the public service would hurt Canadian workers and help the wealthy.
Whether it’s stealing Singh’s votes or a coalition one way or another Carney will be riding Singh.
NDP sees ‘deadly’ slide in polls
OTTAWA — For the first time since Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced his resignation last month, a new poll shows Canadian politics experiencing a rare phenomenon: stability.
A Postmedia-Leger survey found the Conservatives leading with 41 per cent support, the Liberals in second with 33 per cent support and the NDP’s support plunging to 11 per cent.
Singh Makes Stupid Remarks About Pipelines
Singh Says Pipelines Would Not Be First Priority for NDP Energy Policy
NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh says he sees an east-west clean electricity corridor as his first priority for expanding the Canadian energy market—not new pipelines.
While Singh isn’t shutting the door entirely to pipelines, he says pipeline projects must be accepted by the communities through which they’re routed, must not hurt the environment, must provide good jobs and must meet indigenous consultation requirements.
Clock ticking for Singh before he loses his chance, again, to show Canadians he brings change
OTTAWA — After Jagmeet Singh spent the fall struggling to prove he could be the change Canadians want, time is now ticking down for the leader of Canada’s New Democrats to show he can offer it, against the man expected to replace Prime Minster Justin Trudeau.
Singh is hopeless as NDP fortunes are sinking in the polls and deservedly so for his aiding and abetting Trudeau.
The Liberal Party is not the only party that needs a new leader
While on the topic of the Liberal leadership race, we should also talk about another party that’s in dire straits and desperately needs a new leader: the NDP.
When Jagmeet Singh won the leadership in late 2017, he was a breath of fresh air for the frumpy NDP, which had long been associated with socks-with-sandals lefties and equally unfashionable table-pounding union leaders. He was young, diverse, social-media savvy and from outside the Ottawa bubble. As a fashion plate who enjoys the finer things in life, he cut a dash through Ontario provincial politics and the Toronto cultural scene.
But like many first-round draft picks, he flopped in the majors.
New Democrats need a new federal leader
The New Democratic Party is struggling, and in order to turn things around, Jagmeet Singh needs to step down as leader—immediately.

Singh has led the party through two elections in the past eight years. During that time, the NDP has failed to gain seats. They’ve struggled to break above 20 per cent. And Singh’s own favorability has reached an all-time low.
Singh agrees Quebec gets veto power on pipelines
NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh said his party will not support the proposed GNL Quebec natural gas pipeline, pointing to strong opposition from Quebec.
Singh insists that any energy project must have social acceptability, align with environmental goals, and respect the will of Quebecers.
Commie douchebag.
The NDP used to be the party of labour. What happened?
With the Ontario and federal elections on the way, we will soon see if working-class voters in Canada are turning to the populist right. That is certainly the case in other countries. The recent U.S. election saw a major class realignment as those without a college degree overwhelmingly voted for Donald Trump. So did union households. Will we see something similar play out here?
Canadian politics of course differs from the U.S. in many respects. One obvious difference is that we have a social-democratic party that has been historically anchored in the working class in some regions of the country.
Working people don’t want what the “intellectual commies” are selling they tuned out long ago. The public service unions are predators and do not represent the working class. It’s that easy.
Singh joins Poilievre in calling on Liberals to resume Parliament over U.S. tariff threats
OTTAWA — NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh is calling on the Liberals to recall Parliament and work with opposition leaders on a potential support package for workers who could be hit by U.S. President Donald Trump’s 25 per cent tariffs as early as Feb.1
Singh, who on Thursday spoke at an event with union leaders in Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., said he wanted to be “really clear” that his intention to vote non-confidence in the minority Liberals when Parliament resumes at the end of March.
Such BS.
Singh will sell out nation and keep Trudeau in power to pass Trump tariff slush fund
Singh suggests NDP could help Liberals pass Trump tariff relief
NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh said Tuesday he is open to working with the Liberal government to pass relief measures for workers if U.S. President Donald Trump moves ahead with devastating tariffs on Canadian goods.
Singh has said for weeks he and his MPs will vote to bring down the government and send Canadians to an election at the earliest opportunity when Parliament reconvenes after prorogation in March.
Singh said that commitment still stands — but he’s opening the door to an option that doesn’t result in the Liberals’ immediate defeat.
Brad Tennant: Jagmeet Singh says he’s done supporting the Liberals. There’s no reason we should believe him
Since the 2021 election, there’s been no safer bet in Canadian politics than wagering that Jagmeet Singh would ultimately back the Liberal Party. With Justin Trudeau stepping down as leader, we shouldn’t take for granted that this dynamic is necessarily going to change. Singh has repeatedly demonstrated a willingness to compromise his stated principles in exchange for concessions—or even the appearance of influence. Now the stage is set for a new Liberal leader to test this pattern.
