Maybe the NDPs shouldn't have given Trudeau the power he has now

[TheInfurnos]

How can you "put someone on notice" after you have joined their party? It's like the chocolate chips in the cookie telling the dough it's had enough. Call a no-confidence and force an election, it's your only hope to get over 10% support next election.

The real NDP party died with Jack Layton.

Until Jagmeet withdraws his support for Trudeau, nothing he says has any relevance. He is in it for his pension, not for the Canadians he is supposed to represent.

NDP putting Liberals on notice, c’mon man, that’s ridiculous.

[chrisfangeat]

Basically he's saying Trudeau needs to do something or we'll do nothing

[RachW]

Why is no one suggesting giving nurses and doctors their jobs back?

Trudeau needs a deadline or they will just be flopping around like fish wasting more time.

[crecland]

He won't do is in it for the PENSION....

[Timberland]

Trudeau will do what he wants to do and being put on notice by Singh is not going to change that.

It doesn't need more money. It needs leadership to reform and modernize to increase efficiency. We spend plenty on health care and don't get any bang for our buck

[olenaluzhanska]

I'm care giver in Vancouver and since Trudeau came to office my real salary went down and now is only half of what it was before compared to living cost. Every year we're losing salary and benefits but also our clients, our patients are losing quality of service because of our increasing work load. It's overdue to fix this problem.

The CBC could at least point out that this woman is a part of the union bargaining team and an NDP activist. Let's have a bit of transparency please.

Singh ... Words are words ... Actions speak louder ... End the coalition ... Otherwise words mean nothing!!

[kvito]

Oooo the NDP is putting the Liberals on notice is like Flee putting the Dog on notice.

[pro-tection]

Jagmeet Singh is a reincarnation of Mr. Dressup. Everything turns into storytime, puppet shows, and a do-it-yourself craft from garage.

[twosandwichesshortofaparty]

"I made it clear", "I've put him on balloon) "Only two more years of this BS til I get my full pension"

[tedjohnson]

Great questions! Surprised it’s coming from a CBC reporter! Singh was totally noncommittal, so basically he wasted everyone’s time by making this announcement.
It seems the reason for the announcement wasn’t so much because of his concerns for Canadians, but to take a shot at Danielle Smith, whom he states that she has failed on healthcare for her province, but is he conveniently forgetting she’s only been at the helm for a couple of weeks.
Singh says he’s concerned for the children with dental care and now healthcare, but why does he have no concern about how much of Trudeau’s debt these same children are going to be responsible for!

[williamrouthier]

If healthcare is important to Canadians, which I believe it is the only way to fix it is to get rid of liberal NDP coalition

[freddytang]

"we put the government on notice. And if they dont do what we demand, we willl send another strongly worded letter and complain on CBC again"

[blackcoffee.]

More talk from Singh.
Let's see action.
