    1. I guess someone like you would know what a clown is when you see one.
      Don’t make fun of yourself — sweetie. not nice 🙁

  1. Not surprised… Before the election he straight up said he would side with Trudeau no matter what if it was against Conservatives… The ignorance and bias is real..

    1. @CplLe52irRC it’s exactly what the constituents voted for. I’m not NDP but I understand politics is opinion based and every Canadian is entitled to theirs no matter what it is.

    2. @Susan Teeter Not me! I voted NDP for the party to be able to make up it’s own mind and represent the constituents under the NDP banner, not the Lieberal’s! If they’re continually going to cave to the Lieberal’s idealism, my vote is wasted.

    3. Isn’t that the exact same thing the Conservatives say and do against the Liberals? They all do it, that is politics. So ignorance and bias is real by all parties then. Maybe one day we won’t have democracy and we will be governed by a group called Happy Canada Party or some along those lines. Kind of scary.

  2. Jagmeet forgot the part about how his party is 30 million dollars in debt and can’t afford an election because they’ll lose so many seats.

    1. @Ahmed Mostly through donations, where individuals donate and receive tax-credits or membership fees, where you pay to be a member of a certain political party and are able to vote in party leadership elections.

    2. @Evan Morrison thanks! Seems like a decent system actually. Better than corporations and organizations “donating”.

    1. I was referring to the number of seats the NDP won.

      2004- 19 seats
      2006- 29 seats
      2008- 37 seats
      2011- 103 seats
      2015- 44 seats
      2019- 24 seats
      So as I said, 2019 under J. Singh, the NDPs worst performance since 2004

    2. @twelvepack101 I’m tired of our corrupt government that won’t answer even one question. That’s not democracy. That’s a dictatorship.
      Trudeau must go.

  3. Singh already said during the 2019 debates that if he was Prime Minister he would literally never agree with the conservatives on anything, ever. At least he’s keeping one of his campaign promises lmao

    1. Exactly. Mindless thing to say when you’re supposed to pretend to represent Canadians. So in other words, conservatives negotiate something rational that would benefits all (miraculously) and hes gonna disagree? Nice logic singh or whatever his name is

    2. @Dan Vetor cons have become too polarized, I would’ve voted con if they were decent, no offense. Now I’m liberal.

    1. Gotta like all the posts declaring how irrelevant the NDP are……not sure what you just watched but I saw a leader of a party NOT fall into the same trap the Liberals did when they got their non confidence vote on Harpers Conservatives and an election in 2011. That election saw Harper get his majority government. All you Conservative clowns are so sure you will get to form government that you are willing to risk a majority Liberal government should you be wrong? Christ your narrow understanding of the situation is hilarious

    1. @warren gress Yeah you sound like a paid Chinese troll, get out of here, what kind of Canadian takes offense to “bud”

      No Canadian, that’s who.

    2. To be honest, the LPC under Chretien were quite corrupt too… not sure if they are worst now, but certainly not far behind.

    1. we don’t need an election right now. the country voted for a minority liberal government and these clowns need to make it work

    1. @Ted Legault Bro you share last names with one of the biggest losers in my province, don’t start talking about names

    1. @Picturetaker Was considering. But clearly he is too spineless. Anyone who trusts or supports a corrupted liar like Trudeau doesn’t get any respect from me.

  4. “we’re not going to give the liberals the elections they want” so we’re going to vote with the liberals
