Singh urging emergency debate in House amid trucker convoy ‘crisis’

“The situation has reached a crisis point. And in times of crisis, it is important for federal leaders to show leadership, to urge de-escalation, and to work together to find solutions,” Singh wrote in the letter, a copy of which was shared with Global News.

“Solutions are needed not only to the convoy and the resulting blockade, but to the broader situation facing Canadians — a health care system on the brink, health care workers facing burn out, and Canadians who expect a plan on how to get through to the end of the COVID-19 pandemic.”

This could be good... Right now Mr. Singh quite literally holds *all* the cards when it comes to the minority LIEberals having any power in Parliament. If Singh has decided he doesn't like the way the wind is blowing, his party could cut Justine loose. Unlike with the Conservatives, the LIEberals know they can't afford to thumb their noses at the NDP.

Hey it’s 70 degrees warmer in Havana than Ottawa.
Can you blame him?

Jagmeet Singh needs to stop this con game, where he pretends the Liberals and NDP are separate parties ... they’re a coalition

they’re propping each other up, Justin wouldn’t be PM without Jagmeet Singh’s support

if Jagmeet is looking for Justin, he can call him anytime he wants, he’s got him on speed dial ... stop playing us by acting like an innocent bystander

Jagmeet Singh & the NDP are the ones enabling this monster!!

He’s a lumberjack and he’s OK...

“Solutions are needed not only to the convoy and the resulting blockade, but to the broader situation facing Canadians — a health care system on the brink, health care workers facing burn out, and Canadians who expect a plan on how to get through to the end of the COVID-19 pandemic.”

The best solution is a vote of NO CONFIDENCE and then putting together a new government that is responsive to the people of Canada.

I do not think that there is enough common sense in the Parliament to get rid of the mandates and the passports. That approach is too simple and practical.

The people of Canada have common sense but their political leaders are deaf.

Watch this live now to see who the people are in the trucks.

He is talking for extended periods to the people in the trucks, many couples traveling together. Hear their words thoughts and experiences.

This guy, U Ottawa Scotty, deserves a Pulitzer Prize for this if the prize wasn’t fully compromised.

How is Poilevre? (Probably spelled wrong)

[canuck_conservative]

He supported the truckers, and he’s supportive of the “individual rights” concept (one of the few in Canada)

He’s young & smart, and was a Cabinet Minister in Stephen Harper’s Government

—”He’s young & smart, and was a Cabinet Minister in Stephen Harper’s Government”

And most recall the Yellow Vest Protest a few years ago in France.
