MONTREAL — New Democrats are huddling in Montreal to strategize a new path forward ahead of the fall parliamentary session — one that doesn't include the Liberals at their hips and ideally makes them a credible alternative to the Conservatives at the next election.
Singh said on Wednesday that he had"ripped up" the agreement with the governing Liberals, and tried to position himself as the progressive alternative to Pierre Poilievre. He argued the Liberals are too weak to fight for Canadians and not able to stop the Conservatives. NDP MP Heather McPherson said she and her colleagues will be focused on pinning down the party's priorities ahead of the fall parliamentary session after spending a summer talking to Canadians.
Monk said the NDP's decision to pull out of the deal coincides with a number of key votes they're hoping to win. That includes federal byelections in the Winnipeg riding of Elmwood—Transcona and LaSalle—Émard—Verdun in Montreal, as well as upcoming provincial elections in B.C., Saskatchewan and New Brunswick.
It's widely expected the Conservatives will bring forward a non-confidence vote in the fall, which would trigger an election if the majority of MPs vote in favour of it.
