The federal government has reached a deal with the NDP to soon pass the Liberals’ recently tabled bill to implement a trio of new COVID-19 benefits to fill gaps left by the expiring Canadian Emergency Response Benefit program. This agreement paved the way for the NDP confirming it will prop up the Liberal minority to avoid a fall election.
From the comments: The “Jack Layton Building”, the federal NDP headquarters in Ottawa with a market value of $3.5-million, has been mortgaged for $12.0-million in a vain attempt to keep the party solvent. They will avoid any election, at all costs, for the foreseeable future.

Finance Min @cafreeland refuses to say if her government will table a budget in this fiscal year. Instead, tables legislation asking for continued blank cheque for COVID-19 spending. No info on the $250B they’ll spend this year on things NOT related to COVID-19. #cdnpoli

Unexpectedly. LOL.
Apparently you can run a country with endless credit and fake, newly printed money. But you can’t run a middling, left-wing federal political party that way. The “Jack Layton Building”, the federal NDP headquarters in Ottawa with a market value of $3.5-million, has been mortgaged for $12.0-million in a vain attempt to keep the party solvent. They will avoid any election, at all costs, for the foreseeable future.

did you forget to close the italics? Nope, the /i in pointies didn’t work.
Being socialist means never having to worry about where the next mortgage cheque will come from.
Do we know who extended that mortgage? Cause making deals way beyond reasonable market value is a form of (illegal) political donation.
Apparently we’ve entered an alternate universe where everything is in italics,
To answer my question, the Bank of Montreal.
In this italic universe, the Liberals will take care of pesky issues like that and also balance the budget before breakfast.
Perfect. Canada in a nutshell.
That building is only worth 3.5 million? Must be closer to the twelve million mortgage. They paid 3.5 in 2004.
Math is hard.
Somebody close the italics.
Vell $250 Billion buys a lot of beer für Oktoberfest to last until ze next year!
Jawohl!?! “Sauf ma no a Mass”

Unlike the beer and popcorn people, the Liberals will just spend it on villas and private jets.
250 billion? I would suggest it’s much worse . Revenue had to take a huge hit and they have no idea how much they have spent. It’s a disaster.
Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard. H. L. Mencken
The NDP can push their nanny-state fiscal insanity agenda further under the Spawn than they ever could under their own power as the Spawn is oblivious to criticism and is actually more innumerate than even the socialist NDP drones.
Government=THEFT
question? If the NDP were to become insolvent and cease to exist, would their voting constituency move over to the LPC? Just a thought exercise.
WEXIT
If the Dippers became insolvent, they would not cease to exist: the Liberals would give them a bailout.
Let the looting continue!
Robert
Exactly.
The libranos are about to embark on the greatest theft this country has ever witnessed. In other countries looting takes place in the streets amid riots. In Canada it’s behind closed doors in the PMO. The boys in quebekkie must be delirious. The whole fleet is about to come home carrying untold riches.
The WE scandal pointed out exactly how it’s done.
The “what” the money is being spent on and the amount is unimportant.
The fact is it’s gone past the unsustainable point.
They see only two options, borrow more or print more.
The end result from doing both is that the dollar is being devalued which has a multiplying effect on the debt.
The sooner the insolvency comes, the sooner you get your new country.
Joseph, the sooner we descend into hell, that will be the new country.
Money, how about the one time payment of 300 canada bucks to us old farts. Why not stop with the bullshit/fascism and opt for freedom and get the damn country back in business. Kill all the commies. By the way all forms of socialism are really communism, one word fits them all.
The commies like to use alternative words but they all mean the same ie; liberal, ndp, green, socialist, progressive. Call it hiding in plain sight.
IMO the Liebels will keep the Dippers afloat. They are a valuable foil to fend off the Greens. What am I saying? The Greens are in trouble as well. Can we conclude that the left in this country is happy to take Liebel bucks for as long as they last? Of course they will! JT is buying his majority with our tax dollars and the majority of Canada is just fine with that.
False sense of politeness, civility, and docility is what brings down civilized countries.
Russian king Nickolas II pandered to the left and refused to execute bolsheviks. His family ended up slaughtered along with 18,000,000 others.
Survival instinct too low.
You do not let communists control your country’s politics if you want to survive. You hang them instead. FFS, begin to learn lessons from history, once in your miserable lifetime. Cancel them all.
FFS, fix this all italics!
“Reached a deal”…yeah, sure. That must’ve been quite the discussion.
Liberals and NDP are two sides of the same commie coin.
Duh,reached a deal..the Ontar we owe deal,the same one McGinty/Wynn had with Horvath the Horrible.
Amazing how stupid the Never Done Paying voter is.
They are of course.”too principled” to ever vote Liberal,yet they are conned into doing so..repeatedly.
Oh wait “Progressive Conservatives”..
AS real as “Social Justice”.
