Put pressure on Trudeau to resign and get Liberals to pick another leader and then NDP comes back on board? Maybe?

I'm not sure it's calculus at this point so much as numerology tbh

His voters don't want an election.

This makes as much sense as anything else.

tylerharper.bsky.social•69 days ago

I think it is genuinely perplexing.

woolyonezeez.bsky.social•68 days ago

I don’t even think the NDP can explain the political calculus of the NDP

Basically:

They're social democrats

Giving the fascist Conservatives an increasing chance to win

Waiting makes Poilievre stronger

neesha.bsky.social•68 days ago

Nope. Love how all these guys think it’s okay to outstay their welcome.

Think he’s adding to the pressure to remove Trudeau…betting he would support a different Liberal leader…for a short term

Ain't no plan

chrishill.bsky.social•69 days ago

Dumb as bricks

Sellout Singh wants to kill all the social programs he helped the Liberals put in place.

best I can think of: "there's a statistically measurable number of CON/NDP swing voters, and of those we can guess some portion is feeling iffy about Trump's recent mocking of Canada, so if they're on the fence about where to park their Non-LPC vote now's the time to peel them over to our party"

lapsedcanadian.bsky.social•69 days ago

Not a bad strategy. There are definitely orange tories in the east and they would feel disaffected by both Trump and Poilievre's extremism on many different things

for certain, prairies too

He's tired of looking like Trudeau is leading him by the nose I guess? This is pure idiocy as far as I can see... It's the perfect opportunity to twist arms for electoral reform

Jagmeet is just a terrible politician

ana-lia-pauchu.bsky.social•69 days ago

I don’t understand it but it certainly reminds me of Jack Layton.

lisawedmann.bsky.social•69 days ago

Right move at wrong time. Just shows me he & his team are out of touch & care more about themselves. Just like Trudeau & his team. Our leaders all seem to be narcissistic & incompetent.

donalddagenais.bsky.social•68 days ago

We are currently living in a temporal political wasteland in Canada.

Pandering. Opportunism. Corporatism.

stujacksonbball.bsky.social•69 days ago

If the goal is to keep the peepee lunatics from winning, there was probably some backroom deal to get pm selfie to resign gracefully and jagmeet probably had some kind of racehorse picked. Dumping freeland probably threw this whole timeline out of wack and jagmeet lost a horse.

stujacksonbball.bsky.social•69 days ago

So now jagmeet is going just say fuck it and show the libs who’s boss. Jagmeet doesn’t really care if peepee takes power. What matters is how much power jags has left.
