'Running to be next PM of Canada…': NDP's Jagmeet Singh after withdrawing support from Trudeau govt

Leader of Canada's opposition New Democratic Party, fresh from tearing up a deal to help keep Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in power, said on Thursday (September 5) an election was now more likely. Jagmeet Singh spoke after pulling his unconditional support for the minority Liberal government on Wednesday, thereby forcing Trudeau to seek new alliances to stay in office until a federal vote that must be held by the end of October 2025. "We've ripped up the agreement with Justin Trudeau. And because we ripped up the agreement, we know very well that means that a question of an election is more likely. And we are ready for an election." he told reporters in Toronto. Trudeau's government can be defeated if all the opposition parties unite and back a no-confidence vote.

I ripped up my NDP card when they elected this clown. I strongly dislike Justin, but I would vote for him in a second if there was ever a chance that Sing would become PM. A vote for Sing is like flushing Canada down the drain.

[sheilahall]

Sorry jagmeet you will never be prime Minister seriously we know why you left India get out of my government

[nazeerjunus]

Also be aware that the USA will be better off if and only if US become a province of Canada and Trump gets a shot at becoming the premier of this newly added Canadian province.

With Sing its the beard, turban, and his ceremonial dagger first...Canada would be dead last. When the NDP voted to have Sing represent the party they betrayed the trust of real Canadian patriots that had supported the NDP for decades...its disgusting.

Singh - I am running to be the next prime minister of Canada. What a joke 😂

[nazeerjunus]

Jagmeet Singh should be evicted from his current post as he encourage and support terrorisom.

[tracyallen]

I will.never vote for Singh or anyone like him as Prime Minister .

[Sunny-jy]

Go Jagmeet Go you took them by surprise. Not going to be easy. They will through everything they can at you. ❤🇯🇴🇯🇴🇯🇴🇯🇴🇯🇴

[PerryOConnor]

Pierre should set up a GO FUND ME for poor Jag to cover what he would collect in a pension. If all of the people that can't stand him chipped in only a few dollars each he would get millions more than what he would get in a pension. This could be offered to him in exchange for him to back a Conservative nonconfidence motion and then resign and go away.

Why is it that when you open your mouth flies come out .

[Harish-bbuz]

Why did Jagmeet paaji not challenge Trudeau far back. Any damage suffered by Canada is from the hands of both of them.

[nazeerjunus]

jag-meet should get rid of his beard, turban and the dagger that he carries in person.

This election race will be full of new songs from these 2 groups of Canadian voters :
1% elite Canadians and big corporations vote for the Federal Liberals MPs
Vs.
99% working Canadians vote for the "NEVER FEDERAL LIBERALS MPs AGAIN"
Canada is ready for the Federal Election 🎉🎉🎉

This man’s politics sits under his chosen hat! not as what he demands we respect as a worldwide displacing of other cultures using back office syndicates assuming every position of authority against the existing of Christian founded governments planet wide. Together with the french in Canada who have been aggressively rooting out for execution everything of English origin with extreme prejudiced since well before they themselves took Ottawa as a french only coup! Holding all Canadians hostage to the french hegemony now leveraging hostile anti world peaceful economy with the dictator supporting indian to north korean BRICS supporting politics. He flaunts his symbolic sign of hostile take over all Christian communities across Canada. Think !!! If Trudeau was paid to through open with extreme prejudice to Canadians security boards so heinously unchecked that now 10 years later there are more East indians than any other voters how can anyone state this was an innocent act of compassion. Hardly Canadian now BRICS through our so claimed to be NDP is poised to have all Canada subject under the indian social caste syndicates from the elite indian to the intentionally impoverished not east indian cultures. No matter how far back your families have supported as Canadians
