It was a marriage, rather a coupling, made as far away from Heaven as is possible. It was in Ottawa. And Canadians have paid a hell of a price for the unholy Justin Trudeau/Jagmeet Singh alliance. Canadians watched their economic power decline drastically due to soaring taxes, food and energy costs. Young Canadians saw their chances of owning their first homes slip away as hundreds of thousands of legal immigrants allowed into Canada created a serious housing crisis as home prices and rents reached unprecedented levels. Trudeau and Singh played a dangerous game of tag with Canadians’ lives. Each trying to appease followers of their respective parties, with the hypocritical Singh promising to bring down the Liberals in a non-confidence vote on more than one occasion. But never following through, knowing his pension was in jeopardy. But then came his opening. On January 6, Trudeau announced he was resigning as prime minister and Liberal leader, but not before proroguing (suspending) Parliament until March 24. The alliance made in hell was over, giving Singh the chance to blast his former suitor and partner at Canada’s revenue trough, knowing he will lose nothing in the next non-confidence vote in Parliament, which is a certainty when the house resumes. In a nationally televised interview, Singh let loose with a diatribe the Liberals should have faced long ago, ignoring the fact he and the NDP are just as culpable for the state of the country as Trudeau and the Liberals. The Liberals, an angry and aggressive Singh said, have let down Canadians and not just Trudeau. “It’s every Liberal,” he said, “and it doesn’t matter who the next Liberal leader is, they’re only worried about themselves.” Singh said he and the NDP proposed ideas, solutions, to the problems faced by Canadians, but the Liberals always said no. Then he added, again ignoring that he and the NDP supported and protected the Liberals for years, that it is the fault of the Liberals that Canadians are where they are. The NDP, he said, have spent the last two years fighting the Liberals every step of the away, “in a brawl, in a battle.” Then, not wanting to leave the Conservatives out of the fray, he said Pierre Poilievre has only one goal should he become prime minister and that is to make his billionaire friends even richer. Singh flipped into election mode, because there will definitely be a federal election this spring, saying the NDP will vote to bring down the Liberals in a vote of no confidence, adding “Give us (the NDP) the honour of running this country.” Whether the NDP will actually follow through with its non-confidence vote, surely, after years of Tweedledee and Tweedledumber, Singh can’t possibly think Canadians believe he has what it takes to be running this country, except into the ground.
