So… no election till 2025?
True North- Singh says NDP, Liberals have secured “historic” pharmacare bill
With the March 1 deadline looming, the pressure was on the Liberal government to fulfill its promise on pharmacare. Failure to meet this deadline would jeopardize the stability of the confidence-and-supply agreement, potentially leading to significant consequences for the government.
In other words, Singh’s gold-plated MP pension still isn’t vested.
And this is how it will be paid for … by printing more and more worthless paper.
Freeland authorizes $517 billion in federal borrowing

Unlike his next Harry Rosen suit.
So, does Singhalong come off the top rope and butt-pin Jostaihn … or is it the other way round this time?
Reach-arounds all around!
Elephant Walk…
Historic is the political fellatio performed by Jagmeet to PM Blackie.
So Jagging his meat, is now jagging TurD’Ho’s meat?
Singh needs time to figure out how he can run a campaign that disparages the Liberals after he’s propped them up for so many years.
“Look at those horrible Liberal policies!”
“You voted for those policies.”
“I was forced to. I didn’t want the fascist conservatives to get in.”
Something like that, I think.
Agreed, KM. Both of them know they are headed for the executioner’s block during the next election. So they are going to string this out as long as possible. The only real question is how much of Jughead’s labour support evaporates between nown and then. What they are both hoping for is some black swan event that miraculously restores their public support.
Jugmeet: “we’ve accomplished something really HISTRIONIC with this historic deal.”
Take a pill Jug…they’re free now!
2025 seems so far away all of a sudden.
Lots of things are in play in 2024 , and the Singh-Trudeau love affair may not quite go as planned , if come spring-summer 2024 in Canada serious financial issues arise in the realm of the peasants.
If some crisis arises in the US (before or after the 2024 election) or Internationally such as a major country wide stop work protest , all bets are off regarding the Singh-Trudeau alliance.
Sigh. Another completely unaffordable NDP style government program, brought in to the utter detriment of Canadian taxpayers, merely to prop up the Dauphin and his Enabler for a few months longer.
Well, I guess we know what matters – you and I and the country’s future are not in the mix at all.
Two million people using food banks now. The Liberal\NDP will have to borrow Billions more at higher interest rates to pay for this, plus pay more for upcoming due debt. How many more people will this put on the food bank line, not to mention increasing the risk of losing homes?
I asked the Google Gemini AI to generate an image of Jagmeet without his Rolex and the AI said it just couldn’t do it.
Come to Canada! EVERYTHING IS FREE! We have a magical money tree.
No surprise. The NDP have been aiding and abetting the Trudeau Liberal’s misdeeds since the last election. The NDP may have more than just a political interest in keeping Trudeau in power.
Like I’ve said before, the Trudeau Liberal-NDP government will hang on to power as long as they can to delay their day of reckoning. The whole lot of them are in shit up to their eyeballs and don’t have anyway of escaping the mess they’ve created.
Perhaps slowly retiring over the next 18 months and relocating to a nice non-extradition country before a thorough investigation by the Conservative Party?
LC, you surprise me. You know very well there will be no investigation of anyone and no relocations unless it’s to a nice warm climate on a nice fat pension.
No Canadian political leader of any party will prosecute their fellow club members, it just isn’t done and never will be.
And if that leader was Max Bernier, he wouldn’t prosecute anyone either.
The system is deeply corrupt, in place of justice we have “inquiries” run by government appointed Judges for the benefit of those who are tired of Coronation Street or Another World.
I think (hope?) the Conservatives will investigate. I suspect that Canadian taxpayers have been bilked for billions of dollars.
Yup. One big corrupt club, and we ain’t in it, and neither is that goofy Max distraction. Oh, wait…
It’s worse than that. The NDP have been the policy repository for the LPC and Red Tories going back to the time of Pearson. The LPC beg, borrow, and steal anything that will buy them votes as they abandoned liberalism many decades ago. The Greens used to provide a useful function in splitting the lunatic left vote but now that the LPC/NDP regime has stolen their depraved policies, they are completely useless and now relegated to employing the Queen Bee and her loyal drones of anti-industrial fascism.
Even if the Conservatives wins a majority, they will be faced with massive spending obligations which will take years to unwind, if they can be backed out at all.
Looks like the usual scenario will play out: the Liberals run up the debt and screw Canadians over, the Conservatives take over,do a bit of belt tightening, and are promptly thrown out in the next election.

Agreed. I’ve seen it happen more than once now, and Canadians seem to like it that way. It was a bit easier when the ‘Progressive’ Conservative Party was around (PCs being all but indistinguishable from actual Liberals) but they have managed to neuter that pesky Reform Party that threatened to bring actual conservatism (gasp!) into the mix…so now Canadians can happily go back to swapping one Liberal government for another every ten years or so.
Reform Party was simping for the PCs after 1997. Lust for power but any means.
Don
So very very true…
I have Urged the Conservatives to do one thing.
ABOLISH Public Sector UNIONS.
Country wide.
A very large portion of Canada’s GDP is used to pay off this pile of Garbage masquerading as “Dedicated Civil Servants”. I have also made this request to Danielle Smith.
Do it.!
Allowing this Communist Cabal of Anit-Semitic, Woke Progressive Garbage to even exist is not helping our country in any way shape or form.
See my comments in a previous thread. Argentina style cuts, entire ministries fuero! Unwinding spending dies nothing but allow it to be wound back up. Close the ministries, destroy all files and data, sell or cancel the leases and sow the ground with salt.
We do not need, nor will little trims work. This existential.
What Peter said!
Times ten!
Dissolve the 338.
Let provinces work it out in republican manner.
It would be akin to turfing the EU or the UN.
Small is beautiful.
100% Peter.
The situation we find ourselves in isn’t solely indicative of one government or one party, it’s a collaborative effort of all three.
On paper, Poilievre looks great but what he says versus what he does are inherently different.
He talks tough about mass immigration but has no real intention to stop it:
https://youtu.be/P5ObX1tVhVs?t=115
Direct flights from Punjab to Canada (e.g., as in where most of our migrant workforce is from).
Canadians deserve better but, truly, there is no real alternative.
Experts and former liberata everywhere.
But we never hear from Thomas Mulcair.
I suspect it is possible he could blurt some truth and embarass an incompetent parasite.
You can hear from Mulcair on a weekly basis. He is on a “panel” of 3 with Vassy what’s her name Kappelos on the radio. CORUS or whatever they call that fake talk radio show.
He is usually insufferable, with a smug tone of vested pension in his cloying voice.
Jagmeet can go back to buying multi-1000 dollar purses for himself once he’s done propping up criminals in office.
Jagmeet, why do you believe Justin will honor this agreement?
I don’t think anything will happen. Justin will string Jagmeet along all the way to the next election. Justin needs the cover from the NDP to hide Liberal corruption from Parliamentary committees.
So how many people are about to lose their drug coverage, with no decrease in premiums?
And they are borrowing half a trillion dollars.
Like I said a few days ago:
I don’t care about polls right now if we have to wait til 2025 for the election.
“Lie back and think of Sophie.”
Did you notice how fast the Pharmacare deal came together? I call it a diversion. I was raised on a prairie farm. Sandpipers often nested on the shores of sloughs and wetlands. Whenever a predator would approach the nest, the mother would feign injury to a leg or a wing and the fox or the coyote was often diverted hundreds of yards away from the nest. What better way to diverge our attention away from the impending scandal at ArriveCan.
We’re not that easy to fool, Justin.

Free everything! Unless you have a job, then you pay for everyone.
Abolish the sin tax on labor!
It’s not free, we are being forced to fund another socialists scam. Low income people are the only ones who benefit from government handouts-yet they keep giving that group more free stuff and we pay for it. I spend 7000 a year for dental and prescription coverage and we live on a pension, yes we go without but it’s not the government’s job to force me to fund other people lifestyle choices.
Spending like we are a natural resource power house.. Except we aren’t anymore.. Canadians sure are stupid..
