NDP to campaign on pharmacare if it backs out of Liberal deal: national director
The federal New Democrats plan to make pharmacare a central issue in the next election if the Liberals do not meet the bar the opposition party has set for legislation to reduce the cost of prescription drugs.

That NDP party leadership isn't already planning a campaign with cost of living issues as the focus unfortunately sums up today's NDP: looking for headlines instead of votes.
Hm? They are threatening nonconfidence if Liberals don't agree to terms on pharmacare. They are not campaigning.
Yeah, the NDP is actually governing. It like, sometimes, people completely lose sight that that's the point and just want their guys to win.
The two aren't mutually exclusive. Also if they pull a non-confidence vote and pass it, we'll nearly certainly get a CPC government. I for one would be terribly mad at such an event and will assign it straight on Jagmeet. He can and should press the libs on pharmacare but even a compromise would be better than no pharmacare for at least another 4 years. Along with all the other damage pipsqueak is gonna do.
Probably won't win, but Liberals probably won't either. Hopefully Liberals agree to the terms.
We can all hope for continued minority governments. Canada loses whenever a single party wins a majority.
Man if only we had a proportional system...
Yeah, as much as I support the current government, I'm still butthurt about that whole u-turn. Like, highly proportional places have issues too, but we'd have a blank slate to try and address those issues, and it's unlikely we're going to become the Netherlands until a decade or two has passed to get there.
