Last week, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre called on Singh to pull out of the agreement.

Calling Singh's statement a "media stunt" in a post on X, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre criticized the NDP leader for not saying whether he will vote non-confidence in the government at the earliest opportunity.

Conservatives moving goalposts constantly... colour me surprised until I'm blue in the face.

Poilievre is making a string of very strange political gambles. Doing the rhyming nickname thing, trying to look like a cool badass, going on a string of unusual, foolish-looking, public attacks against rivals.

If the Conservatives don't do as well as expected in the federal election, I wonder what's next for them, from a leadership, attitude, and policy standpoint.

This will be Gen Z's first real federal election to participate in. I'm very interested to see their impact. Convention is to assume that the young won't vote, but, life and livelihood for the youth in Canada has never been worse, at least in my lifetime.

Young men have really lost their way.

I disagree. And also I don't understand how your comment is relevant to the conversation. Making a non sequitur like this isn't constructive. So, nice try but, you will not divide us!

The comment was about GenZ voting! It's super relevant!!

Young women are the only cohort that strongly supports the NDP. The difference between young men and young women is striking enough to be panic inducing.

I'm not even sure what this is meant to mean. What do you imagine my motives are? Who am I supposedly trying to divide?
