NDP Saskatchewan: After proclaiming a snap election in 2020, desperate to reclaim his lost parliamentary majority from 2019, Trudeau’s hopes were shattered when he fell 11 seats short, leaving him desperately grasping for support to sustain his government. Little did he know that his salvation would come from an unlikely figure: Jagmeet Singh, the rising titan of Canadian politics.
Trudeau and Singh forged a confidence-and-supply agreement, a pact that initially seemed like a lifeline for the embattled Trudeau. Under Singh’s cunning leadership, the NDP pledged their backing to the Liberals in crucial confidence votes, including contentious budget-related matters within the Canadian parliament.
However, what Trudeau perceived as a safety net soon devolved into a treacherous snare as Singh masterfully wielded the agreement as a weapon to advance his own malicious agenda.
Singh: The Fear Monger
A tremor of uncertainty rattled the Trudeau government when Singh openly threatened to sever ties if a vital dental program for low-income children under 12 remained unimplemented by year’s end. The political landscape held its breath, anticipating the collapse of the Trudeau administration. But cunningly, Singh chose to bide his time, as if relishing the opportunity to strike when least expected.
Unyielding in his role as a thorn in Trudeau’s side, Singh recently orchestrated a gripping saga in Saskatchewan that sent shockwaves throughout the nation.
A provincial legislature in Saskatchewan, with the support of the NDP opposition, brazenly passed a bill denouncing the federal target of achieving net zero emissions in electrical generation by 2035 as unrealistic and economically burdensome for the region. This bold move directly challenged Trudeau’s grand vision.
The audacity of such a motion cannot be understated because the very same policy was praised by the NDP in the federal government. Canada already boasts one of the world’s cleanest electricity generation systems. A staggering 83% of the nation’s electricity is sourced from emissions-free methods, predominantly hydro and nuclear power, complemented by wind and solar energy.

The cunning game
The duplicitous policy of NDP of standing with Trudeau in Ottawa while vehemently opposing him in Saskatchewan, is a glaring manifestation of their true intentions. Yet, one cannot deny the sheer brilliance of the NDP’s Machiavellian game.
By deftly positioning themselves on both sides of the political spectrum, Jagmeet aims to carve out a formidable third front, a political force capable of shattering the traditional dichotomy between Liberals and Conservatives. This stratagem proves increasingly injurious to the Liberal Party, as the inexorable shift in the youth vote from Trudeau’s ranks to the NDP gains momentum.
The sword of a potential election hangs precariously above Trudeau’s head as he teeters on the edge of disaster, his reliance on NDP support hanging by a thinning thread.
A new legislative election would force Canada into uncharted territory, where liberal support might be split and fall into the warm embrace of the Conservatives and NDP alike. Singh holds the right to dissolve the deal. Trudeau’s political destiny remains shrouded in uncertainty, with his once indomitable party now trapped in the clutches of political distress.

So yes, the NDP is playing a very calculated and cunning game, and in Saskatchewan, it has been exposed. While their double-dealing may appear Machiavellian, the repercussions for Trudeau and the Liberal Party are nothing short of cataclysmic.
As Canada’s political landscape evolves with each passing day, JT’s struggle against the merciless machinations of the NDP is just going to intensify. Will he summon the strength to rise from the ashes and reclaim his political dominion, or will the NDP’s cunning maneuvers prove his ultimate downfall? One thing remains clear: the stage is set, the curtains are drawn, and the fate of the liberal party leader hangs in the balance.
