A day earlier, Singh called on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to “protect” publicly funded health care while negotiating with the provinces on funding. He said one of the conditions of the money should be “straight-up no privatization.”Sign up to receive the daily top stories from the National Post, a division of Postmedia Network Inc.By clicking on the sign up button you consent to receive the above newsletter from Postmedia Network Inc.
He also indicated his party would consider pulling support over that stance. “We really believe that health care has to remain public. This is one of our major priorities,” Singh said.Article content The NDP and the Liberals announced a deal last year in which the NDP agreed to support the minority Liberal government through to 2025 in exchange for action on a series of NDP priorities, including passing a Canada Pharmacare Act by the end of 2023. The House of Commons is currently on break and will resume sitting on Jan. 30.
He said if the government doesn’t follow through, it would be the Liberals who are breaking the agreement.
It won’t happen. The NDP leader and his minions know they are toast if they go forward with an election. We have to take more of this Liberal/NDP coalition gov’t crap until 2025.
The NDP could but as Mr. Singh has not yet secured his pension, the NDP will continue to hurt Canadians & support the Liberals.
The worst Coalition in history...everyone is losing..very sad🥺
He has no courage to do anything accept pander
Pls he always says this then makes some deal that amounts to nothing it’s all smoke & mirrors with no substance
Meh...he won't. He knows that he would be wiped off the electoral map for supporting the Liberal oligarchy and its destructive policies.
I call bullspit
Jagmeet does not have enough balls to pull the rug out from under Justin!
But won't because Jagmeet needs to be around for his pension in 2025.
Not gonna' happen!! He wants that pension! Once he drops support, he's done! The NDP will drop him like a turd from a tall steer, and he'll be looking for a new career.
We can only hope the NDP pull their support of Trudeau
Comical
He doesn't have the...
ndp is like the boy who cried wolf, NDPAnne
Kriss348315113 I don't believe this Marxist lair so far he has supported even the illegal acts the fascist liberal regime pulled last year and froze bank accounts this guy is a psychopathic lair.
But will Singh put aside his personal aspirations to benefit Canadians?
No he won’t. He too afraid to lose that juicy pension.
The could, they won’t. Singe’s ego is way to big to become even less relevant. Only reason he’s in this position is he beat the Bloc to the punch.
That’s what I tweeted him! But he no listen!
Sheep Singh cries wolf , again.
Never will. Singh getting his 15 minutes…
Won’t happen until his pension is vested because his career is over
Certainly NDP Leader would do this as Party is slipping badly in the polls! Certainly Liberals & NDP still have time to put this together and it looks possible and can be accomplished and good Legislation as well !
But they won’t
Lmfao. Ya theJagmeetSingh Good luck getting diddly squat from lil PP
Best thing they could do!
Jugmeet is Trudeaus lap dog.
Singh has zero credibility
Another veiled threat. If he brings down his buddy what then? Another election and he decides to play 'kingmaker' all over again. Gimme a break.
Unfortunately, I find it difficult to accept the premise that the NDP leader will ever ent the alliance with PMJT. 🥵😡👺
I so wish Jack Layton was still with us - so respected him.
U have lost your way - union supports have lost faith u - let the coalition go - and try to go back to your ways of supporting the working class
SelloutSingh
Singh has got to make a move soon as he is sinking with the Trudeau ship.
NDP makes empty threats. Jagmeet wants his pension.
q tip man sold out the people who voted for him to kiss trudopes ass and to keep his gold pension
He isn’t doing anything because he is selfish and doesn’t give a 💩about Canadians 😡
I call BS
Please
This is great news. Hope it comes true.
There’s a foul wind blowing and it’s going to scatter the burnt ashes of the NDP in the next election. Good riddance.
But he's okay with rolling out private delivery of dental care. What a hypocrite. Now he's ditching his suits and rolex for polos so he looks like a common man. When I am PM. LOL
Broken record bs.
Ya, that’ll happen.
He is a puppet he won’t !
Don’t hold your breathe , or trust liberal/ Ndp coalition!!!
ndpmustgo FASCISM wef liberalsmustgo ndpmustgo FASCISM wef Jagmeetmustgo NeverAgain NeverNotley
That would require Singh to grow a pair. Not likely. He’s grown too accustomed to suckling at the Liberal teat.
“The Boy That Cried Wolf!” I’ll believe it when it happens.
We won’t, he needs to make sure that he gets his generous government pension
He wont
How about the 'just transition?' Hundreds of thousands of working class jobs will be missed forever. Poverty will become rampant. Come on NDP, If there was ONE CHANCE to make a difference, this it.
🤣😂🤣😂 theJagmeetSingh doesn’t have a pension so he won’t dare. I may also win the lottery…. cdnmedia cdnpoli
Blah blah blah- Singh has proven time and time again he is all blow, and no show. He remains Trudeau’s lap dog.
Empty threats
Jagmeet just put out a dental plan that is publicly funded and 100% private delivery let that sink in.
No he won’t… theJagmeetSingh is full of hot air
No they won’t, Singh’s total number of days for pension hasn’t reached
He like his power. He'll not do it
He values his pension more than his reputation or the well being of Canadians, he’ll never pull support
Not likely to happen. That would cut off Jagmets gravy train.
Typical
Lmao sure he will!
Blah blah blah. This guy is a joke, same threat zero action, always playing victim while supporting every motion.
Could. Nothing here
The Rolex who called Wolf: A CBC mini series detailing the daily sucking and blowing of BIPOC urban politco Jagmeet Singh who while publicly badmouthing his majority business partner continues to support him in the board room. Thankfully a limited series.
Yeah BS, Justin will wave a scooby snack around and pat his knee and theJagmeetSingh will come running. He's in this for himself not Canadians.
theJagmeetSingh you could pull out of the collation you have with the Liberals and get a non confidence vote going ... but you know you will lose and you lose your paycheck. Stop pretending you care because no one in the NDP cares about the people unless they belong to a union.
Not, Singh wants that pension.
Not happening, he’s just muscling the trudope into paying up on yet another bribe, you’ll see, last minute the dope will cough up whatever this clown is demanding.🙄
Liar
I dare you! I double dare you! Lol, why would you give up the only power you have only had. Ever.
Someone so easily bought will not pull out from his paymaster
As if… he’s so far up Trudeau ass. He should be aligning with the UCP… at least he wouldn’t have to sell his sole to the Trudeau Devil.
Singh, would of, could of, should of, .. too late. fordnation
Ya whatever
Singh will drop his party's support on September 20, 2025. The day his lifelong pension kicks in.
They won't. Like most politicians, they are all bark and no bite.
🧢🧢🧢🧢
theJagmeetSingh STOP THE NDP/LIBERAL COALITION
Not a chance.
Please do
Lol
He won’t, he is to power hungry LMOA.
'Could'
He doesnt have the backbone, puppet masters wont let him... we are not stupid
Please please pull the plug
Hahaha not likely.
Ya but he won't......
You could but why would you. Your career would be destroyed and you would be opening the door to a Party most likely to win that’s is ideologically light years behind you. Stick with the plan. It’s better to be at the table then to be fed the scraps or not even in the house.
Yawn
Jughead doesn't have the courage to do that. He's too busy polishing Trudy's shoes and running errands for him.
Singh does not understand the Canadian healthcare delivery system at a fundamental level. He lacks the gray matter to lead his party, and he is certainly not qualified to be the prime minister. He is an empty shell, which of course makes him and Trudeau very much equal.
Nice bluff he won’t do a damn thing all he cares about is his pension even though he sees Canadians all around him are hurting he doesn’t care pension first
Jughead won’t do that.. he’s too weak without Trudeau.
WHAT?! He can DO that?!?! How did I not know this? I've NEVER heard of this as a potential thing that might happen every week when Singh's feeling a little but neglected by Canadian media!! THIS IS BREAKING NEWS!!!! 😐
Just more lip service from Jimmy boy!
Could, but won’t.
little boy crying wolf again...
Yeah, but they won't.
LOL. He is such a fraudster.
About bloody time. Pharmacare should have been the first post to be hammered home.
But he won’t. Dude loves nice watches and there’s a Patek Phillipe he’s eyeing. Juuuuust another year or so and it’s his.
Never!
Brilliant! Election here we come!
But he won’t if conservatives win Jagmeet is nothing and he knows that
Bullshit, he’s holding out until his lifetime pension kicks in next year!
Not till 2025 when he gets his pension
They could pull it for anything....but they wont, because they get some good perks and legislation....Sorry Pierre, no ekection till 2025!!! Whatever it takes to keep Conservatives far away from the reigns of our Government
Just do it already
Oh say its so
Liberals will throw him an insignificant bone that his small mind will feel is a great victory and he'll fall back in line
Jimmy Dahliwal/Jag Singh or whatever you call yourself, is going to cling to the modicum of power he has in propping up Turdeau. He’s not trustworthy! He’s on a terrorist list.
Nope.
could … but won’t.
Jagmeet is holding out for his pension time. He blasts the government in his words and supports the government in his actions.
No he won't.
Big difference between will and could.
No matter how you put it there both ready for the circus
Negotiating in the Press…
“And the press believes me again!! Not a chance until my pension is secured suckers!”
I want two tier healthcare, I want the option to pay for healthcare. We're losing all our Canadian professionals to the US and other countries for better money and the corrupt and inept college of physicians
I’ll believe it when I see it. Jimmy doesn’t have the integrity to do that.
Jughead doesn’t have the stones. Trudeau is worse but Jughead is the biggest hypocrite in Canadian politics
He's a weak leader , he knows his time is done. But his pension is more important then Canada.
Suck and blow.
Lmao
He could pull support for any number of things but he won't. He's focused on becoming fully vested in the MP pension plan and an early election could derail that.
Hahaha. Cool story, bro. This dude is terrified of an election. cdnpoli
No, he won't! Trudeau has him in his pockets!
