NDP pulling out of confidence deal with Liberals

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 04 Sep, 2024 09:48 AM
  • NDP pulling out of confidence deal with Liberals

Federal NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh says he has ripped up the supply and confidence deal his party had with the minority Liberal government that helped keep them in power.

Singh says he notified Prime Minister Justin Trudeau today that the NDP are pulling out of the deal because of the government's inability to tackle corporate greed and its inability to stop the Opposition Conservatives, who are surging in the polls.

But Singh says his party can.

Singh will address Canadians in a social media post this afternoon.

In the video statement Singh says when the next federal election comes, they will have to choose between Conservative cuts or hope that the country stands united.

He says Liberals are too weak, too selfish and too beholden to corporate interests to fight for people, and that his party will deliver relief, fix health care, build homes and stop price gouging.

Because the New Democrats pulled out of the deal, it doesn't mean it will trigger an election, as the party could instead vote on Liberal legislation piece by piece.

Water behind B.C. landslide is more likely to move over top than burst: minister
The minister said there's no timeline on when the water will start flowing, and "current modelling" shows that overtopping of the dam is more likely than a sudden break. They estimate it will take 12 to 24 hours for water and debris from the dam to reach Hope, B.C., about 500 kilometres south of the massive landslide.
