Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has called out NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh for ending the supply-and-confidence agreement with the Liberal government, referring to him as “Sellout Singh.” Poilievre challenged Singh to trigger a “carbon tax election” at the earliest opportunity in the House of Commons, suggesting that the NDP must make a clear decision on their stance on the carbon tax coalition with Trudeau.
Addressing a crowd in Nanaimo, B.C., Poilievre expressed his disappointment in the NDP’s decision to withdraw their support from the agreement that helped maintain the minority government in power. Singh and Trudeau had previously struck a deal in March 2022, with the Liberals committing to implement certain NDP priorities in exchange for the NDP caucus voting in favor of the Liberals on crucial issues.
As the situation unfolds, Poilievre emphasized the need for clarity and action from the NDP, stating that they will have to make a choice when it comes to supporting or opposing the carbon tax coalition with the Liberal government. The Conservative leader’s remarks reflect the escalating tensions between political parties in Canada as they navigate the complex landscape of minority government dynamics.
