The leader of Canada's main opposition, Pierre Polivray, has termed Jagmeet Singh's withdrawal of support from Trudeau as a media stunt. Polivray said Singh, who struck a deal with the Liberals two years ago after scuttling Wakkar's interests, has only grabbed headlines today, not clarifying whether the NDP would vote in support of a no-confidence motion for the carbon tax election at the first opportunity.

Poilievre said Jagmeet Singh sided with Trudeau to quadruple the carbon tax, which would not only force Canadians to rely on food banks but would also cripple the economy and destroy thousands of jobs.

The Conservative leader said that Canadians want an election as soon as possible without delay, they can no longer tolerate the decisions made by the NDP Liberals in this expensive coalition.
