This is Jagmeet Singh’s fault as much as anyone. He played the softest of softball with the Trudeau government while holding the balance of power. Pharmacare could have gotten done with more concrete commitment from the feds if Singh and the NDP had actually leveraged their position. They didn’t, and then they lost more seats, so whatever they thought they were doing also didn’t work.
Hindsight is 20/20, but the failure of the NDP to secure any meaningful policy accomplishments while effectively being the Liberal’s coalition partner for several years, combined with losing seats in parliament as a result, is embarrassing and political malpractice.
Carney’s government is being extremely craven here, but he’s playing the cards dealt by the previous administration. Poilievre would do similar. The NDP’s failure to twist the knife to get something done while they actually had leverage is going to kick the pharmacare can down the road yet again.

He's not even LARPing as a socialist. He’s just the NDP Justin Trudeau. He likes saying things in front of people and having them clap and nod. He should be a motivational speaker who sells nutritional supplements on his podcast. There was no reason for him to go into politics.

I think the funniest part about this is how the NDP social media machine is going absolutely nuts hyping up Charlie Angus—who would have been the party leader for the last decade if Singh hadn't bought thousands of party memberships in Vancouver and Toronto—now that he's no longer in or running for office.
Yeah! No shit, dudes! Chuck's been saying this shit for decades, and you didn't fucking listen!

It was extremely funny to see how hyped and optimistic liberals were about Carney's ascension after Trudeau and Poilievre ate shit.

Once again, online leftists are burdened with Cassandra-like powers to make predictions such as "they fucked it up every time before, so they're probably going to fuck it up again"

Someone in the news mega once said “the curse of the socialist is to remember things” and I think about that a lot.
