Singh calls Trudeau too weak and ineffective to stop the Tories in campaign-style address
Jagmeet Singh brought a message of hope Thursday in his first speech following the NDP’s exit from its supply and confidence deal with the minority Liberals, who portrayed his move as a bow to Conservative wishes.
But he said those attacks serve the cost-cutting agenda of Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre and play into the hands of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who Singh called too weak and ineffective to stop the Tories. Singh dismissed those claims, pointing out the Conservatives have wanted the deal to end since he and Trudeau forged it in March 2022.
Laying out his party’s vision, Singh said he wants a Canada with a thriving middle class, where every generation can afford a home and health care is there for families.“We’re a nation of people who take care of our neighbours. We’re a nation of builders. We’re a nation of believers,” Singh said.On Wednesday, Singh ended the confidence and supply deal the Liberals have relied on for more than two years to keep their minority government from toppling.
