NDP's Singh says he'll continue to hold Liberals accountable even with governance deal | FULL

NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh told reporters on Tuesday that even though his party has agreed to a tentative governance deal with Justin Trudeau's Liberals until 2025, his party will continue to hold the Liberals "to account." Some priorities as part of the deal that Singh outlined include dental care, housing and climate change.

This deal would keep Liberals in power through 2025.

A major immediate priority for the NDP is its proposed dental care program for low-income Canadians for families with an annual income of less than $90,000. Under the deal, the government would start the program this year for children under 12, then expand next year to those under 18, seniors and people living with a disability. Full implementation of this dental program is planned by 2025.

Trudeau said Tuesday that both parties have identified "key policy areas" where they share similar objectives, adding that the agreement is "not about compromising our core beliefs."

He added that both parties would continue to work with other parties in the House.

will never ever vote NDP or Liberal as long as I live

[rapier]

A vote for the NDP is a vote for the LIberals has been said for years and now we know it is absolutely true.

[moniquef]

This man and Trudeau utterly disgust me there are no words to describe the anger and frustration I feel for this government

[kenmann]

I never seen people lie with such ease.disgusting.

[John-oyig]

The fact that this can happen without an election beforehand is disgusting. Nobody voted for two parties in government. In my opinion if they were to propose this there should be an election beforehand so the whole country has a decision whether they want to even allow either of those parties the power to run the country. Because I can bet there are plenty of liberal and plenty of NDP supporters who wouldn't vote for them based on this

[HONZESD]

Go fig them WEF young leaders sticking together..

[steve]

Only way the NDP joke could be part of the government. Taking a Trudeaus sloppy seconds. Just like when Castro gave his mom back to Pierre.

[cherylrix]

Im not happy with this one bit. We did not vote for this. We voted a minority government so that the liberals were held accountable. Shame on you NDP

[johnbedbrook]

nothing but bad news if I wasn't depressed with the state of the world before I sure am now / this is so sad for Canada

[rick]

We’re all going to find out what dog tastes like before 2025.

[patrikloring]

Jagmeet Singh has got he last vote from me. He’s not a working mans party any more. He’s a pawn of the crime minister.

[julianodf]

I'm never voting NDP again, the last election was my last time. Nor Liberals. I've learned my lesson.

for the first time in my life I'm a conservative constituent.

[kittymama]

Well on a positive note, hopefully this puts the final nail in the coffin of the NDP.

The two WEF stooges trudeau and singh about to turn canada into china, awesome

[kingbud]

It time to remove these people from power with whatever means necessary. The corruption in this country needs to be stomped out so we can rebuild it better then what it is using the lessons we the people have learned.

[francogudado]

Canada we better wake up. What a sell

[CB-ldnw]

There should be a reform of the voting system like what was promised many years ago by Trudeau (before he won with the current system) so that the government can no longer take advantage of people who voted strategically.

[kevinmanning]

Inflation will eat away at what this man proposes. You can't spend your way out of being broke. Inflation is the issue and overspending. House prices reflect that. Job creation is better than government spending

[patrioticcanadianfreedomfi]

"NDP's Singh says he'll continue to hold Liberals accountable even with governance deal." If you were truly serious about that you wouldn't have made the deal in the first place. Your statement is proof positive that some people were born stupid and some just abuse the privilege.

[FunnyCrazyProduction]

I can't afford to live in my own country. This is bad. :(
There is no way out. We need to do something.
