Whilst Victoria MP Laurel Collins won91裸聊视频檛 say when she thinks the next federal election will be, the politician is confident the NDP party is ready to fight, and win.

On Wednesday (Sept. 4) NDP leader Jagmeet Singh announced the party had stepped away from its supply and confidence deal with the Liberals, an agreement which had helped keep the minority government in power.

The news sparked speculation the government could fall at the next confidence vote, causing an early election. But the NDP said it would be moving forward on a case-by-case basis when voting on Liberal legislation.

91裸聊视频淭he NDP is ready to fight an election,91裸聊视频 said Collins when asked by Black Press Media if she was expecting an early election. 91裸聊视频淲e're going to take it vote-by-vote and always keep Canadians at heart.91裸聊视频

91裸聊视频淰oting non-confidence is always on the table,91裸聊视频 she added.

About the announcement, Collins said it should not have come as a surprise to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the Liberals.

91裸聊视频淲e've been having these discussions for quite a while,91裸聊视频 said Collins. 91裸聊视频淧eople across Canada are struggling, they91裸聊视频檙e losing hope. Many of them are falling further behind, and, at the same time, CEOs are making big profits.91裸聊视频

91裸聊视频淭he prime minister has been in meetings where Jagmeet (Singh) has expressed his frustration, his disappointment, and been pushing the Liberals to do more to support Canadians,91裸聊视频 she continued. 91裸聊视频淪o often they break promises and they let Canadians down. Canadians are frustrated with the Liberals, and so are we.91裸聊视频

First made in March 2022, the supply and confidence deal, according to Collins, has allowed the NDP to push the Liberals to deliver on a number of issues, including expanding health care services and pass pharmacare legislation.

Reacting to the news, Elizabeth May, Green Party Leader and Saanich-Gulf Islands MP, felt there was not much substance behind Singh91裸聊视频檚 announcement, and that it would be business as usual in Parliament.

91裸聊视频淭he NDP has just increased bargaining power with the Liberals by not being presumed to be a committed 'dancing partner' no matter what,91裸聊视频 said May.

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre also speculated on how serious the announcement is, challenging Singh to force an election, describing the end of the deal as a 91裸聊视频榮tunt91裸聊视频.

But for Collins, the announcement is a sign that a change is coming.

91裸聊视频淲e are at a crossroads,91裸聊视频 said Collins. 91裸聊视频淭he (next) election is a change election. The Liberals have shown they will always cater to corporate greed. They are not capable of taking on Poilievre and stopping Conservative cuts. It's time for Canadians to have a government that has their back.91裸聊视频

91裸聊视频淚n the next federal election, Canadians will choose between Pierre Poilievre91裸聊视频檚 cuts or the hope and the relief that's offered by Jagmeet Singh and our NDP team,91裸聊视频 she continued. 91裸聊视频淚f we stand united, we are going to win.91裸聊视频
