New Democratic Party (NDP) leader Jagmeet Singh slammed outgoing Canadian Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, and said he disappointed the public “over and over”.
“It doesn’t matter who leads the Liberals. They don’t deserve another chance,” Singh said in a post shared on X. He also added that “the Conservatives are jumping at the opportunity” and trying to give more to “CEOs”.
“You will pay the price of Poilievre’s cuts. If you oppose callous Conservative cuts, if you oppose the rich getting richer while everyone else falls further behind – stand with the NDP this time. You can have a government that works for you for a change,” he added.
‘Liberals don’t deserve another chance’
Jagmeet Singh said that Liberals don’t deserve another chance. He also attacked the Conservative Party and accused it of prioritising the CEOs.
Singh accused Conservatives of jumping at the opportunity and favouring CEOs. He also warned that people will “pay the price of Poilievre’s cuts.”
The phrase “Poilievre’s cuts” refers to proposed budget cuts and policy changes by Pierre Poilievre, the leader of the Conservative Party of Canada. These cuts are part of his plan to reduce government spending and address fiscal concerns.
“If you oppose callous Conservative cuts; if you oppose the rich getting richer while everyone else falls further behind – stand with the NDP this time. You can have a government that works for you for a change,” he added.
Canadian PM Justin Trudeau resignation
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Monday resigned as the leader of the Liberal Party and as Prime Minister.
“This country deserves a real choice in the next election, and it has become clear to me that if I’m having to fight internal battles, I cannot be the best option in that election,” Trudeau said.
Once a key ally of Trudeau, Singh is a major opponent of the leader
Justin Trudeau was a key ally of Jagmeet Singh’s New Democratic Party. However, the NDP leader withdrew support from the Liberal Party in September last year. The move put Trudeau’s minority government at risk a year ahead of the next general elections, CBC News reported.
The government was scheduled to be in office until June 2025. Jagmeet Singh, who helped Trudeau keep his minority government in power, attacked the Canadian PM for caving to “corporate greed” and claimed that the Liberals have “let people down.”
