  1. More taxes..that is all they now..the parties appear toxic and this should be a call for an election

    1. @Darth v3 my bonus this year was taxed at 48% 🤬 already after my income taxed over 40k a year makes my six figures look like nothing …… what is the point of working hard and getting here when they want to reduce me to live like a minimum wage worker?

    2. @Luis Fernando they tax mine to death too, they don’t care. Thats why all of my work on the side stays hidden in cash

    1. I am ok with that, I don’t vote Liberal but JT is better then any Con, you do understand the as an NDPer I can say I we have alot in common with liberals, we disagree on some things, I am happy to see the NDP as the official opposition, they get hold this government to account and work to pass legislation that benefits all Canadians, not just a select few Cons who are filthy rich, why don’t you explain to me why Cons don’t support a national pharmacare program

    2. Better than my vote going to a conservative, and I get the dental and prescription coverage I have been asking all parties for for over 2 decades now!

    3. Okay??? I’d rather have some parts of the NDP manifesto put forward as opposed to none??? Like TF???

    1. Once again… not happening. To be clear, I’m more sympathetic to the NDP since they’re outside of the two-party system and they are not proposing that. If you want to talk about other things that are bad for the middle class, please do, but don’t say what isn’t true.

  2. I’m not opposed to parties working for the betterment of society I’m opposed to movements that block Canadians the opportunity to elect a change in government

    1. Win win for Conservatives. NDP collusion confirmed. Will Help Nuremburg prosecutors. Present government reduced from 3 1/2 to 2 1/2 years remaining. Yeh

    2. @Darth v3 100% this, and in particular it’s the GTA that drives the election result……..without GTA, Liberals lose the last election. Sad that 1 city controls a federal election.

    3. The NDP wants to replace our electoral system with proportional representation (6% votes for PPC = 6% of seats in parliament). So yeah… they want to create a truly democratic system… with many parties to choose from and your vote not being thrown out.

    1. @Hyperpandas are u dumb there hasn’t been an election since last year where the liberals tried to get more power and lost

    2. An election LITERALLY just happened 5 months ago. The terms are supposed to last for 4 years… not randomly having a new election every year. This is literally how it is supposed to work

  4. Universal gov’t dental will allow more companies to eliminate dental benefits from their plans, making them even more profit. The burden will again fall on the ever shrinking middle class with increased income tax.

    1. That’s not true, look at Europe, they barely pay any more with more dental and phrama coverage and companies giving a more limited coverage.

      Most Companies don’t give benefits anymore anyway.

  5. I thought Canadians have rights to elect their PM? How comes the NDP leader makes a deal with Libral and throw the Canadians right to elect under the bus?!?!

  6. The reporter asked ‘ what has the Ndp gain? It should be WHAT HAVE CANADIANS GAIN?

  7. JT says one thing in English and another in French. I suspect that is not why we maintain two official languages. Dishonesty on steroids. WE”ve been hood-winked. It’s satisfying to see our would-be dictator setting up his “duly elected government” so that he is in a better position to serve himself. My condolences to anyone who expected otherwise. A very sad day for democratically-minded Canadians.

  8. This is just an opportunity for treaudeau to drop the crap on another party and walk away smiling, shame on sing! He should have seen this coming

  9. NON CONFIDENCE VOTE 🗳 this NEEDS to happen NOW !!!!

  10. Dental care very important especially for the young who are not fortunate enough to work for the government or a crown corporation. There is lots that don’t have a cosy government job. I’m a little far removed now things change fast. Thank you.

  11. Middle class shrinks even more and even more financial welfare dependents on government. Keep the ppl under your thumb 👍
