So business as usual. Just theater to try and distance themselves from the Liberals. Can't imagine they actually believe they are in a position to beat PP, and would force an election.
The Federal NDP have pulled the Supply and Confidence agreement that been keeping the Trudeau Libs empowered.
They have not voted non-confidence, and are indicating that they will not do so automatically, but rather that they will no longer commit in advance to voting w/the Liberals and will now consider the matter anew with each bill/vote.
Jagmeet needs to s*** or get off the pot.
Either he supports the Liberals or he does not but he cannot have it both ways.
I think you will see pressure for him to pull the trigger on an election and put his money where his mouth is.
As a lifelong NDP'r with insight into the party, I don't see this ending well for the Federal NDP. They backed themselves into a corner with this move and have to tank the LPC or risk being branded as unreliable.
The problem is, if they do force an election they will not win it and cause themselves to be decimated. Idiots.

Many Canadian voters see elections as a choice between the Conservative and Liberal parties, as they have been the only two parties to govern this country. There is no denying the current government is unpopular, but it seems to be more of a Trudeau thing than a Liberal Party thing.Voters love to punish governments, and often vote against a party rather than *for* a party. Poilievre and the CPC have to start providing reasons to vote for them
