Jagmeet Singh had said a day earlier in a video posted on social media that he had “ripped up” a key agreement with Trudeau’s Liberal government, that helped keep the minority government in power. “I ripped up the supply and confidence agreement with Justin Trudeau, and we know that makes the election timing more uncertain,” Singh said. “The fight to restore hope and the promise that working hard gets you a good life.” Davies, the former member of parliament, said if the NDP forces an early election they must explain their reasoning.
