Poilievre asks Singh to pull support for Liberal government to prompt fall election (www.cbc.ca)

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has written a letter to his NDP counterpart asking Jagmeet Singh to pull his party's support for the Liberal government so Canadians can go to the polls this fall instead of next year as planned.

"Canadians can't afford or even endure another year of this costly coalition. No one voted for you to keep Trudeau in power. You do not have a mandate to drag out his government another year," Poilievre wrote in his letter.

"Pull out of the costly coalition and vote non-confidence in the government this September to trigger a carbon tax election in October of THIS YEAR. Or you will forever be known as 'Sellout Singh,'" Poilievre said.

Poilievre's challenge to Singh comes as the parties square off in a federal byelection in Manitoba, a Sept. 16 vote that is expected to be a competitive two-way race between the Conservative and NDP candidates.

@Beaver

You can't come down hard against the rail bosses. They're big donors. They can't come down hard against rail labor; they're trying hard to position themselves as the party of the working dude.

As is usual, governing is hard, and there's no simple black/white easy solution to anything. And when presented with a complex situation, the Cons just go "uh... "

""uh... Have you heard about the evil of LGBTQ??" seems to be how that ends lately.

Mostly T and T-adjacent, to be exact—some of the other letters seem to have become too mainstream to generate enough hate to be useful to them.
