Ottawa: In a major setback to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, key ally Jagmeet Singh\u2019s New Democratic Party has pulled out support for his minority Liberal government ahead of the general election next year.<\/p>\n
In a video message shared on social media, Jagmeet Singh said Mr Trudeau will not be able to take on the opposition Conservatives amid recent polls showing them securing an easy win in elections.<\/p>\n
\u201cJustin Trudeau has proven again and again he will always cave to corporate greed. The Liberals have let people down. They don\u2019t deserve another chance from Canadians,\u201d Mr Singh said in the video.<\/p>\n
The leader said that the \u201cbig battle\u201d now is defeating the Conservatives to stop them from choosing big corporations over the young people and Canadian families.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is another, even bigger battle ahead. The threat of Pierre Poilievre and Conservative cuts. From workers, from retirees, from young people, from patients, from families \u2014 he will cut in order to give more to big corporations and wealthy CEOs,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The two leaders had struck in 2022 to come together to boost the Liberal party\u2019s minority government. The deal was supposed to go on till October next year but an NDP spokesperson said the plan to end the agreement was in the works for the past two weeks.<\/p>\n
Reports suggest the sudden social media post was a surprise for the Canadian PM\u2019s party as within minutes of informing them of their decision to withdraw Mr Singh posted the video on social media.<\/p>\n
Mr Singh said \u201cthe NDP is ready for an election, and voting non-confidence will be on the table with each and every confidence measure.\u201d<\/p>\n
Reacting to Mr Singh\u2019s announcement, Mr Trudeau said his government will continue to focuse on tackling the affordability crisis in the country.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese are the things that we\u2019re focused on. I\u2019ll let others focus on politics.I really hope the NDP stays focused on how we can deliver for Canadians, as we have over the past years, rather than focusing on politics,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The Canadian prime minister also said he remained hopeful that the next election will not happen \u201cuntil next fall\u201d so that his government can also work on pharmacare, dental care, and school food programmes.<\/p>\n
Mr Singh\u2019s NDP kept the Mr Trudeau\u2019s Liberal government in power through a confidence-and-supply agreement. In exchange for its support, the government agreed to address key priorities, including introducing dental care benefits, providing one-time rental supplements for low-income tenants, and temporarily doubling the GST rebate.<\/p>\n
