NDP Terminates Supply-and-Confidence Agreement With Trudeau
Canada’s New Democratic Party (ndp) ended its support for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s minority Liberal government yesterday, potentially paving the way for early elections.
The ndp has supported Trudeau with a supply-and-confidence agreement for over two years. ndp leader Jaghmeet Singh posted a video saying he had “ripped up” the agreement that was supposed to last until June 2025.
Singh’s ndp is even further left than Trudeau’s Liberals. Singh accused the Liberals of being “too weak, too selfish and too beholden to corporate interests to fight for people.”
Trudeau’s party is plummeting in the polls. Pulling out of the agreement is probably a bid from the ndp to distance itself from the Liberals and avoid going down with the ship.
Without ndp support, Trudeau could be vulnerable to a vote of no confidence by Pierre Poilievre’s Conservative Party, which could prompt an early election.
Narrow time frame: Trudeau now needs to negotiate enough votes to pass the remaining 22 bills making their way through Parliament. With Parliament sitting for only 25 weeks before the next election, Trudeau has a narrow time frame to pass them.
Still in the early stages of the legislative process are:
- C-27 (artificial intelligence regulations)
- C-63 (the Online Harms Bill)
- C-65 (Elections Act to extend the counting of ballots to three days)
Why this matters: Trudeau has been in power for nine years, and Angus Reid’s latest poll shows 67 percent of Canadians disapprove of his rule and only 28 percent approve. Trudeau won the 2021 election with a record low 36 percent of the vote, and his mandate is only becoming weaker.
Poilievre’s Conservatives currently hold a 20-point lead in the latest polls. If an early election were called, it would likely result in a Conservative majority—if Trudeau does not cheat during the next election.
Bible prophecy: The Bible indicates that the radical left in the United States will lose its power, and that Donald Trump will return to the presidency. This will be a seismic shift is the power scale of politics. Barack Obama, and the current generation of leaders (such as Trudeau) who pattern themselves after his policies, is being diminished.
