Trouble comes up for Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as New Democratic Party (NDP) leader and his key ally, Jagmeet Singh, has declared to move a no-confidence motion against him in the next sitting of the House of Commons in January 2025.
Taking to X, NDP leader Jagmeet Singh issued a statement to confirm the developments. He claimed that Trudeau failed in running the country and advanced in fulfilling self-interest. Notably, if all the opposition parties support the motion, Trudeau will be out of office after more than nine years as prime minister, paving way for elections.
Singh said Trudeau Liberals “let people down again and again.” The statement read, “The Canadian dream is a good job that gets you a home and a fridge full of groceries with enough left over to save for vacations. A country where health care is always there as soon as you need it. I believe every Canadian deserves that. The Trudeau Liberals said a lot of the right things. Then they let people down again and again”.
“Justin Trudeau failed in the biggest job a Prime Minister has: to work for people, not the powerful. To focus on Canadians, not themselves,” the statement further added. He said Trudeau-led party doesn’t deserve another chance and that NDP will vote against them to bring this government down which could trigger an election, threatening the political carrier of the Canadian PM.
“The Liberals don’t deserve another chance. That’s why the NDP will vote to bring this government down, and give Canadians a chance to vote for a government who will work for them. No matter who is leading the Liberal Party, this government’s time is up. We will put forward a clear motion of non-confidence in the next sitting of the House of Commons,” the statement further mentioned. The 45-year old Indian-origin leader said that Trudeau must resign as asked by his fellow party members, alleging that the Liberal Party leader can’t pull the country out from the current crisis, including inflation, that has unfolded in front of them. “I called for Justin Trudeau to resign, and he should. He can’t fix health care. He can’t build homes you can afford. He can’t lower your bills,” the statement quoting Singh further said.
