Summary

Jagmeet Singh announced plans to introduce a motion to topple Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government.

Singh’s announcement comes after a difficult week for Trudeau, who is facing growing calls to resign from his own Liberal Party following the exit of his most senior cabinet minister.

The move marks a turn for the NDP leader, whose centre-left party helped prop up Trudeau’s minority government in exchange for support on their shared political priorities.

    This is monumentally stupid. Does he think he can take the #2 spot, let alone #1?

    He’ll still be number 3, but his rug-pull will definitely change the outcome of this binary choice.

      It’s difficult to call for Trudeau to resign and also vote that you have confidence in Trudeau as a leader. Obviously he doesn’t want to hand the government to the Conservatives but supporting Trudeau wasn’t winning any favours either.
