NDP MP Peter Julian (Westminster-Burnaby) says his party will force an election in late February or early March.NDP leader Jagmeet Singh, who is taking significant flack for keeping Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in power, will qualify for a gold-plated pension at the end of February — it is said.An earlier election would mean Singh and a number of MPs would not qualify for their pensions. Meanwhile, Singh's scrutiny of Trudeau has been flaccid, say critics."If we are talking the end of February and the beginning of March, and Mr. Trudeau has not stepped down, hasn't heeded that call from his own caucus, from his own cabinet, from all the opposition parties, then yes," said Julian in a broadcast..More empty words from the NDP regarding Trudeau?"So, of course, that would mean, if we're coming up to a straight up non-confidence motion at the end of February, early March, that's one of the tools that we have. So there's no doubt about that," said Julian."I mean, Jagmeet Singh was very clear. My concern, really isn't just late February, early March. It's right now people. People need the social supports. We need a government that actually is functional and is putting those supports into place.""And we need all hands on deck in terms of the Trump tariffs, which threaten hundreds of thousands of jobs. So, this idea that the Liberals can play out a drama over the course of the next few months simply is not on."
