NDP to Support Liberal Government in Non-Confidence Vote
News summary

NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh has announced that his party will support Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government in an upcoming non-confidence vote, reversing his recent decision to end their supply-and-confidence agreement. This move aims to prevent Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre from triggering an early federal election, despite Singh's prior criticisms of the Liberals as 'too weak' and 'selfish' regarding issues like housing affordability. Singh argued that supporting Poilievre's motion would be detrimental to Canadians, stating that the Conservatives would implement cuts to social programs and health care. He emphasized the need for the NDP to continue working for the middle class while positioning the party as a viable alternative. With support from the NDP and Bloc Québécois unlikely to back the non-confidence motion, an early election appears improbable. Singh's decision has drawn criticism from Poilievre, who accused him of rekindling a 'costly coalition' with the Liberals.
