Conservatives, Labour seek to break deadlock as Brexit talks resumeWith the clock ticking down before European elections, when both parties could face more bruising results after local polls last week, time is running out I wonder if May will be sober for these scheduled talks?

They have no skin in the game. Why would Labour be interested in helping the Conservatives? Even the article disagree with this headline.

How much should Scheer’s Conservatives be counting on vote-splitting on the centre left?Even before this week, Conservatives were wondering aloud if the Green Party – coming off a string of seat pickups by its provincial cousins – might be as useful as the NDP in providing an alternative for voters who cast ballots for the Liberals in 2015 If they really wanted that, he would knock off the ridiculous rhetoric he keeps belching into the airwaves & online about Trudeau & he would ditch the white supremacists until after the election. However, he is an ass so not much odds at that happening soon. The left will go NDP or Green; right will shift to the Cons. The centre will hopefully be smart enough to realize the Greens are further left than NDP (GND socialism pkg) & will either stay Liberal or shift Cons, IF AndrewScheer has a climate plan & purged human rights issues. If Trudeau wins after SNC, the Norman scandal, multiple Obstruction of Justice crimes, smearing of innocent women (Raybould and Phillpot) and a litany of broken promises, then Canadians deserve him...
