One month before Donald Trump takes office, Canada no longer has a functioning government. With the threat of destructive tariffs hanging over our noses, there couldn’t be a worse time to see the governing party fall apart.
The situation is serious and it is not futile to point the finger at the culprits. Let’s be serious: all fall, Justin Trudeau’s government was no longer functional. Parliament was no longer functional either.
The government no longer had any consideration for the economy or the future of the country, just like the Prime Minister. All attention was focused on hoping to survive until the end of the week.
This minority government should have fallen. Thanks to whom did the government survive all these votes of confidence? Thanks to Jagmeet Singh and the NDP. Three times they saved the government and deprived the population of an opportunity to go to the polls.
Torn agreement!
The NDP has repeatedly saved the government’s butt in a political season that had started how already? By an energetic spectacle of Jagmeet Singh tearing up the agreement with the liberals. Yes, the poor theater of a party that would close its eyes in the following months and act as if everything was going well in the government.
The most comical thing is that Jagmeet Singh called for Justin Trudeau’s resignation on Monday during the crisis. Like a dog that starts barking to imitate the rest of the pack. Ask for his resignation? He had voted to keep Justin Trudeau in power a week earlier.
Ask for his resignation because the deficit is out of control? Dear friends of the NDP, the deficit exploded because Justin Trudeau agreed to all your demands. Ask for his resignation because he loses his finance minister? It is because Justin Trudeau consulted Jagmeet Singh more than his Minister of Finance that she is slamming the door!
Error on day 1
Honestly, this alliance between the Liberal Party and the NDP worried people concerned about the country’s finances as soon as it was signed. The scenario predicted a catastrophe. You take one of the most naturally spendthrift prime ministers in history. You put him in the position of having to satisfy a party that lays out ideas for social programs like a hen hatches eggs.
Who is really surprised that the deficit has gotten to this point? Who is really surprised that Canada is in such a fragile economic position? Each doing their own thing, Mr. Trudeau and Mr. Singh have governed Canada for more than three years with the sole direction of borrowing and writing checks.
This crisis has been in the making for a long time. In the NDP, as in the Liberal Party, there was a lack of adults in the room to stop the charade while there was still time.
There, the pots are broken.
