NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh tried to strike a precarious balance Sunday between his opposition to the Trans Mountain pipeline and the mounting possibility of a coalition with Justin Trudeau's Liberals.

Singh is drawing a firm line that he will do whatever it takes -- including a possible coalition with the Liberals -- to keep the Conservatives from forming a government.

Singh offered a first glimpse of the possibility of leaving the door open to working with the Liberals -- in spite of his strong stance against the pipeline -- following the French debate earlier this week. He told reporters Thursday that since the Liberals had already purchased the pipeline, he would "work on ensuring that we are as responsible as possible with moving forward with an asset that I would not have bought.

The project will see LNG Canada export natural gas obtained by fracking. It has the support of the provincial NDP government in B.C. Singh was far less ambiguous about his plans to stop Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer from forming a government. But, with the party still in third place and the Liberals and Conservatives deadlocked in a statistical tie, the Liberals have spent much of the election campaign warning progressive voters against voting for the NDP or Greens and to instead cast their ballots for the Liberals to prevent the Conservatives from forming government."I want to become prime minister," he said earlier in the day in his home riding of Burnaby South.

No he doesn't. The EXPANSION won't go forward. The existing toxic asset they haven't decided what to do with

Is Singh going to cross the floor & become a Liberal? 🤔 Just_Justin_In_A_Turban!🤔

So, did you vote Liberal or NDP? After what you said today, are they the same now?🤷🏼‍♂️

Why are they standing together side by side holding the same ballate? That's illegal! One person at a time to prevent tampering.

It will be interesting to see how the NDP does in its birthplace.......Saskatchewan..

That's a lie! He is totally against TMX and all pipelines. Trudeau has also confirmed TMX is the last pipeline he will approve.

None of the left wing parties are going to make any pipelines, they are more concerned with their climate buddies

We need that expansion. Revenue to transition.

Singh says strategic voting makes people settle for less, counters Liberal pushNDP Leader Jagmeet Singh says he doesn't believe in strategic voting because it makes people settle for less. The short term high that NDP and Green supporters feel when they cast their vote will be replaced by the long term painful regret of having helped the Cons form government. sorry dude, gotta keep the nazi's at bay for another four years. Then he “strategically” announces he will form a coalition to take down the PC’s if Scheer gets the most votes...
