NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh decided to 'go for broke' and pulled out of a supply and confidence deal with Justin Trudeau. But why now? Former NDP leader Tom Mulcair highlights some possible reasons in his latest column for CTVNews.ca.

to support Justin Trudeau’s Liberals, Jagmeet Singh has been advised that, at some point, he would have to retreat in order to save his party. That was the known part.

Poilievre has learned how to connect with them. In addition to inflation-squeezed factory workers, they now include disenfranchised younger voters who live in a gig economy with little hope of ever owning a home, and they’re buying what Poilievre is selling. That has been hurting Singh with an important part of his base.

They say that all politics is local. Singh’s decision to walk away from his deal with Trudeau has everything to do with local by-elections in two very different places. This seems to be the hope of Singh if he wants to avoid a rout. It would come with the added bonus, from the NDP’s point of view, of handing Trudeau an embarrassing loss on a par with the Liberal defeat in the recent Toronto-St. Paul’s by-election.

Conservative candidate Don Stewart winning the closely-watched Toronto-St. Paul's federal byelection, and delivering a stunning upset to Justin Trudeau's candidate Leslie Church in the long-time Liberal riding, has sent political shockwaves through both parties.
