NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh Plans No-Confidence Vote Against Trudeau's Government on January 27, 2025

Jagmeet Singh, the leader of Canada's New Democratic Party (NDP), has announced that his party will introduce a motion of no-confidence against Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's Liberal government when Parliament resumes on January 27, 2025. This decision marks a significant shift in the NDP's support, as Singh stated the party 'will vote to bring this government down' in a letter. The move comes amid speculation that if all opposition parties unite in the vote, the ruling Liberals could be defeated, potentially leading to an early federal election. Singh's announcement coincides with his eligibility for a pension on February 25, 2025, raising questions about the timing of the no-confidence motion. The NDP's withdrawal of support for the minority Liberal government has put Trudeau's leadership in jeopardy, with analysts suggesting that this could lead to a snap election in Canada.
