Poilievre Urges NDP to End Agreement

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has written to NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh, urging him to withdraw from the supply and confidence agreement with the Liberals, which has kept Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's minority government in power since March 2022. Poilievre argues that the agreement has failed to make life more affordable for Canadians, highlighting increased food prices and rising demand at food banks. He insists that Canadians cannot endure another year under what he describes as a 'costly coalition' and calls for a fall election. Government House Leader Karina Gould remains confident that the agreement will hold until its planned end in June 2025, while NDP House Leader Peter Julian indicated that leaving the agreement remains an option. The NDP has not yet officially responded to Poilievre's letter.
