New Democrat Leader Jagmeet Singh says if the Liberal government does not introduce a pharmacare bill in the House of Commons this year, he will consider it a deal-breaker.

Both parties signed a confidence-and-supply agreement last March, in which the NDP agreed to support the minority Liberal government in key votes until 2025.

In exchange, the Liberals would advance some NDP priorities, including by passing pharmacare legislation by the end of this year.He says his party would also withdraw their support of the Liberal government if they do not expand dental care this year. Singh says he wants to see dental coverage expanded for teens, seniors and those living with a disability, which is also spelled out in the agreement between both parties.

A year after a year of support. What a joke. Give them 3 months.

Says “his focus is on short-term partisan gains over sound policy and long-term benefits”. And says Trudeau is self-centred and terrible boss”. And also says “Trudeau is a great performer but a lousy manager”

Send us back to the polls!!!!

Says this January to make sure he has 11 months as JT's puppet.

Sure 👍

What a waste of money. Most Canadians are taxed heavily but receive pharmacare and dental care through work health plans. Why should they pay tax to fund this?

Doing assignments from the Master...

Jagmeet is so tough... Trudeau should be afraid because When Jagmeet is the next PM...

It's F_cking January, that's a hell of warning. What a tool

Yikes… he looks like those creeps that assault women on TTC buses

Jagmeet still doesn’t understand what he has done.

$10 day care, dental and now pharmacare - all in one year. Perfect. We can afford all of this and even more. Singh must have found a new job somewhere. Now here is my take. This get Justin 11 more months maximum. We now know the next election is in the spring of 2024.

Stfu pedo with the 30 year younger wife

And the deal breaker leads to Pee Pee getting elected, effectively showing Singh is a sleeper agent for the cons. Nice suit and Rolex!

Jagmeet Singh calls out 'greedy CEOs' at Loblaws and Sobeys for high pricesFederal NDP leader Jagmeet Singh has issued a public rebuke of the wealthy grocery oligarchs driving up the cost of food in Canada, referring to in... 'In December, our investigation into your food prices began,' said the NDP leader, adding that 'this year, New Democrats will [be] carrying on that fight.' Have you seen prices at Costco?! Just as bad!! Cart of normal grocery (veg, fruit, basics like milk cheese, bread coffee) used to be about $300; now 600+! Daylight robbery! Is govt doing anything about it?! No!! Too busy enjoying tax payers money raking in, especially Gst/hst! I’m all for calling out high prices but I dont know how accurate it is to place blame on “greedy CEOs”. I can think of a few other factors like inflation, including on diesel which brings your groceries to you. Partial fix tomorrow if diesel wasn’t $2.
