NDP Ends Power-Sharing Deal with Trudeau's Liberals
The dissolution of the agreement raises the likelihood of an early federal election in Canada.
- Jagmeet Singh announced the end of the confidence and supply agreement with Justin Trudeau's government.
- The deal had kept Trudeau's minority government in power by securing NDP support for key votes.
- Singh cited Trudeau's inability to counter the rising Conservative opposition as a key reason.
- The NDP aims to distance itself from the unpopular Liberals ahead of potential provincial and federal elections.
- Trudeau's Liberals will now need to seek support from other parties on a vote-by-vote basis to avoid losing confidence.
