NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh says his party will bring forward a motion of non-confidence to bring down the Trudeau government in the next sitting of the House of Commons.

“The Liberals don’t deserve another chance,” Singh wrote in a letter on Friday. “That’s why the NDP will vote to bring this government down.”

    Can this wait until Feb 1? Give Canadians a bit more of a chance to see the US get fucked first.

        First sitting on the 27th, to be exact. Source.

        Yeah, I’m panicking a lot less now. And depending on the exact rules JT could prorogue it even further.

        Somebody in the media mentioned a Liberal leadership election; if he goes that way I’ll be “kalm” again.

          A Liberal leadership convention would require ~4-5 months. The Liberals would name an interim leader elected by caucus if JT steps down.

            Really? Do you have a link to bylaws or something?

            A couple seems like plenty of notice to me under the circumstances.
