The leader of the left-wing New Democratic Party of Canada announced last night by releasing a video that his party is leaving the coalition with the Liberal Party of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
According to the politics group of the Anna Science and Technology News Agency, Jagmeet Singh, the leader of the New Democratic Party of Canada, announced last night the unilateral termination of the coalition agreement with Trudeau's party, accusing his party of “excessive weakness and selfishness”. Trudeau, in response to this news, while rejecting the holding of early elections, said that he will continue his work and follow the social support programs of his government.
In this way, Trudeau's party is no longer the absolute ruler of the House of Commons of this country, and in order to advance its bills in the parliament, it has to watch the hands of the representatives of other opposition parties.
At the same time, high inflation, the housing problem and the acceptance of a large number of immigrants in need of government assistance have caused a significant decrease in the popularity of the 52-year-old Prime Minister of Canada. According to polls, if the elections are held today, his party will face a severe defeat.
The housing crisis is one of the most fundamental problems in Canada right now, and it seems that the Trudeau government, unlike inflation, has been unable to curb it. So that the rent rate has increased by more than 40% in two years.
“Justin Trudeau has proven time and time again that he always gives in to corporate greed,” Singh said in a video he posted on social media.
He also announced that he would run for prime minister in the next election, saying, “The Liberals have let the people down. They don't deserve another chance.”
The Canadian House of Commons will resume its activities on September 16. On this day, conservatives can propose a new vote of confidence for the government. The Trudeau government will survive the proposal if New Democrat MPs refuse to participate in the vote.
The New Democrats announced in a statement that they will decide on a case-by-case basis about the vote to approve the bills in the parliament.
However, the Trudeau government's life-and-death moment appears to be when the budget bill is passed later this year. If this bill is not approved by the legislators, it may lead to re-election.
