NDP sadly is too broke as a party and Singh is too much of a sellout for a leader…

[@joetran8798]

How is Singh a sellout?

[@zserbs2326]

@@joetran8798 He has sold out his party for a series a programs and policy that has yet to pass that the Liberals get to take credit for in the senate. He has sold out Canadians for an extended run of a Liberal gov and PM that is extremely disliked that they want to replace yet he keeps them in power and staves off an election. He selling out for his pension since he won’t be eligible until next year. He tore up the agreement and said he’s don’t giving the Liberals any more chances. Yet he has kept them in gov. Wake up.

Supply Management is awful to Canadians. I watched a farmer dump 20,000 litres of milk down the drain because he was over-quota.

[@bawlingchicken1]

Would at least make sense to divert surplus to the new lunch program for school children. It’s a new program so it wouldn’t effect current supply. Buy wholesale from farmers for privilege of maintaining supply management. Less waste too.

[@Really250]

Yes and no, it has dairy farmers very wealthy. Most of them like it

[@joycemclean9661]

The NDP will look pretty stupid if he doesn’t vote with the Bloc after voting yes on the Bloc motion to increase OAP. That will surely hurt them.

[@eilaollinheimo4573]

But they do not just look stupid. They really are that stupid

[@georgehiotis]

Are we shocked? What a performer Jagmeet is. The truth is more likely that Jagmeet was personally paid off to support Trudeau.

[@boessheila50]

Absolutely.

[@benboyko6782]

Election now!

[@tomcotter8138]

ASAP😊

[@alexandernev24]

Tom ...you failed to mention the NDP is Broke, and Jaggy isn't going to risk losing that pension

[@davidcar4632]

The BLOC wants an OAS non-confidence votes and election now. Especially the NDP voted in favour the OAS 10% increase for 65+. The NDP cannot say NO for a non-confidence votes based on this OAS motion. Blanchet is a very smart and strategic politician.

[@user77654]

So it's ok to send $5B USD or $8B CAD to some other countries, but it's not OK to spend $16B CAD to make senior lives more affordable? Guess we know what is more important to Trudeau, everyone else but Canadians!

[@REALMAGGIETRUDEAU]

Ndp 300,000 in the bank and 7 million in debt

[@tomcotter8138]

He could not even keep his own house in order Sophie must have got tired of the bro romance. Flush it !! Liberals NDP let it make skid marks on the way out. I’m 100% to vote ☑️ Poilievre!!

[@professorakiba434]

If the NDP decide not to run in the next election, I can guarantee you it would be a liberal one

[@REALMAGGIETRUDEAU]

The minister of affairs and trudeau are in France again oops

[@chiy828]

Corrupt Gov

[@BillMoore-h6t]

Tom is showing his NDP colours , Sir Canadians have no more money to give , your coalition has already spent it

[@kellybrame-e1t]

No one has turned off anything. Watching more than ever.

What about JT corruption

[@AbeySampson-ow8pz]

Tom I wish you were still the leader of the NDP I believe you got a raw deal and even though I don't agree with the NDP I think you had integrity which Jagmeet doesn't

No. He is and always was a Quebec liberal.

Pierre is sad and pathetic. Justin isn't better, but Pierre is just whining at this point.

[@kevinthompson7649]

Exactly. No policy other than "Liberals bad" and slogans

[@davidharrow9025]

Why do you say that about pierre? Be specific.
